Plumbing Line Repair Is Not A DIY Job
You should call a licensed professional plumber as soon as you realize you have a problem. Exterior sewer lines are usually buried underground. Special equipment may be required to locate the source of the problem.
All The Equipment & Know-How You Need
Depending on the damage’s location, sewer line repair or replacement can be trenchless or require using a backhoe. This type of service requires us to carefully dig up the area surrounding your pipes. We have the equipment and the know-how, so you don’t have to.
Dealing With Clogged Drains
It can be tempting to reach for the drain cleaner if you’re having inside plumbing problems. Believe it or not, these caustic chemicals may do more harm than good. Drain cleaners can dissolve small hair or grease clogs. Unfortunately they can also eat away at your cast iron or PVC piping if they sit in the pipes for a long time.
Your cheap, quick fix can lead to more expensive repairs in the long run. It’s almost always better to call a plumber to fix pipe problems, both outside and inside the home.
Sewer Inspections For Home Buyers
It’s routine for new home purchasers to require a home inspection before signing on the dotted line. Did you know that inspectors don’t generally check the sewer system? Plumbing line inspections for new home buyers help you identify potential problems before you commit to your next real estate deal.
Although they will review the indoor and outdoor plumbing systems, most home inspectors don’t have the training or special equipment needed to test the underground sewer lines thoroughly. Consider getting a separate sewer inspection to protect yourself against costly repairs due to hidden problems with the drain lines.
