Plumbing Diagnosis And Inspection
Our expert plumbers never replace drains off-handed, so homeowners can rest easy knowing that we take all the necessary safety precautions to best prepare before we conduct any plumbing procedure for a drain replacement. Our agile plumber executes a full assessment of your home’s plumbing system to determine the game plan for fixing a broken drain line. Whether you have a drain line, sewer pipe, or drain tile failure, we’ll investigate any drainage issues in proper detail.
Never trust a shoddy plumbing technician attempting a drain replacement without a professional inspection. This is not something you can wing, especially when dealing with underground pipes or a perimeter drainage replacement. Often, the damage can be focused on a specific area, but other times it may be more extensive and widespread, spanning the length of your drainage pipe. Only a professional inspection and diagnosis in which we carry out careful observation can tell us what to expect.
Here are some of the components we inspect before a drain replacement:
- All plumbing fixtures, including sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, faucets, and any water-based appliances such as your waste heater, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.
- Filtration systems such as your water softener system
- Draining and venting systems
- Main shut-off valve
- Energy flood components such as the sump pump and backwater valve
Upon completion of your inspection, you will receive a list of recommendations for drain replacements and repairs that our service professional hopes to prioritize for replacing drains. Overall, an inspection is super helpful for helping us with enough valuable information for measuring the severity of the damage based on how complicated a clog may have been.
Depending on the results of the inspection, we will either proceed to a trenchless pipe drain replacement service immediately if the damages are more shallow in nature. But if we find there is a clog within the deep lagoons of your drainage pipes, we may have to take a deeper dive to uncover it using more advanced techniques such as video camera inspection. Plus, apart from blasting away the clog, we may need to scrub clean any muck off your pipe walls first through a hydro jetting service before we can attempt any physical pipe repairs. If all the preparations have been done before, it will make your drain replacement that much smoother.
Pipe Bursting And Pipe Relining
After we have collected all the clues required and done all the prep work necessary, we are finally ready to perform a drain replacement and the actual mending of your drainage pipes. Nowadays, we utilize innovative drain replacement methods which are trenchless and non-invasive, so there’s no need to be worried about a big, muddy trench being dug up across your backyard. Trust us, we won’t ever make the outskirts of your property an archaeological excavation site, and at most, we will make a couple of incisions to access the main lateral if need be.
If, after retrieving information from the inspection, our plumber finds that the damages are somewhat minor, they will proceed with a pipe descaling and lining service to replace the drains. Property owners will notice that our licensed professional thoroughly cleansed the cast iron drain pipe and followed up by lining it with an epoxy tube that contains an inflatable pouch. After this has been threaded through the old pipe, it’s blown up to create a new and solid pipe lining. Once it has hardened and cured in place, it will leave behind a more robust lining free of any damage.
Furthermore, if we find that a clog has ruptured your drainage pipes and wreaked too much havoc, we may need to proceed with a pipe bursting service. If the damage is more widespread and intense, your plumber will try out a pipe bursting service to replace the old pipe with a new one. As yet another trenchless drain replacement method to replace drains, this doesn’t require the physical amputation of your pipes.
Alternatively, your plumber will, at most, make a couple of incisions to access the damaged, old pipe and weave a new pipe inside of the old one. The plumber will then attempt hydraulic fracturing to snap off the damaged portions of the pipe to make space for a brand-new pipe. It doesn’t seem as difficult, noisy, or messy as it sounds, and best of all can be completed within a standard business day, so there’s no need to relocate to a hotel or motel for your drain replacement. Plus, you’ll benefit from our exclusive HDPE plastic drain pipe, which has a lifetime transferable warranty.
