Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Preventative Maintenance
If you're experiencing issues with your sewer line, such as backups or slow drainage, it may be time to consider repair or replacement options. Call the professionals at PipeWorks Plumbing, Heating and Air when it comes to sewer line problems. Sewer line problems can be difficult to detect and often require specialized equipment to properly diagnose. A video inspection is the most effective way to identify any problems in your sewer line. A video inspection involves inserting a small camera into your sewer line to inspect it for any signs of damage or blockages. The camera is attached to a long cable and is fed through the sewer line, sending a live video feed to a technician who can diagnose any issues.
What are the benefits of video inspection?
1. Accuracy - A video inspection can accurately identify any problems in your sewer line, including blockages, leaks, cracks, or root intrusion.
2. Cost-effective - By identifying the exact location and cause of the problem, video inspection can save you money by allowing for targeted repairs or replacements.
3. Non-invasive - A video inspection is a non-invasive way to diagnose sewer line issues, avoiding the need for costly and disruptive excavation.
4. Preventive maintenance - Regular video inspections can help identify potential problems before they become serious, saving you money and avoiding a major sewer line emergency.
Signs of a Damaged Sewer Line:
• Slow drainage or backups in multiple fixtures
• Foul odors coming from drains
• Gurgling sounds coming from drains
• Wet spots or sinkholes in your yard
• Sewage backups in your home or basement
Repair Options:
• Hydro jetting: A high-pressure stream of water is used to clear out debris and buildup in the pipes.
• Pipe relining: A new liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated to create a new, seamless pipe within the old one.
• Excavation: The damaged section of pipe is dug up and replaced with a new one.
Replacement Options:
• Trenchless sewer line replacement: A new pipe is installed underground without the need for excavation. This is a less invasive and more cost-effective option.
• Traditional sewer line replacement: The damaged pipe is dug up and replaced with a new one.
Choosing the right option depends on the extent of the damage and the location of the problem. A professional plumber can assess the situation and provide recommendations based on your specific needs.
