Don’t let your ego get the best of you –– call a plumber as soon as you hear your toilet running or your sink starts leaking. A lot of people think they can fix their plumbing issues themselves, and sometimes they can. But sometimes they can end up making things worse –– which can result in expensive renovations. The following blog post will familiarize you with everything a plumber can help you with.
Faucet and Sink Repair
Your typical plumber will know how to help you with everything affecting your faucets and sinks. How can you spot a faucet or sink that needs repair? If your faucet drips and cannot be turned off entirely, that’s usually the most common sign it needs repair. Remember: every leak that you leave unattended will raise your water bill and drain your wallet. As always, it’s best to just call a plumber as soon as you can.
Another common warning sign is if you find water damage under the sink or faucet. This is usually the result of a minor leak that can seriously damage your flooring over time.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
All sewer lines eventually need to be replaced. For example, they wear or break down. One way to fix or replace a sewer line without doing a lot of digging is by using the trenchless strategy. We explain it in detail in the following paragraphs.
One way to perform a trenchless sewer repair is by doing what is called pipe bursting. Essentially, this consists of breaking up and the pipe and replacing it as you go. It’s the functional equivalent of washing dishes as you cook –– you save time and avoid clutter.
Another option is known as slip lining. This strategy is all about installing a liner into your current lines. Think of it as inserting a pipe inside a pipe.
Last but not least, there is cured in place pipe. This is very much like slip lining, except it uses a resin-saturated liner that grows into the pipe and is fixed into place with heat. Think of it like inflating a ballon.
