Types of Drain Repair Issues
It’s usually easy to identify drainage issues. Water backing up in toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, and floor drains signals a problem. Most backups result from a clogged drain. Simple solutions like plunging or snaking the drain often resolve the issue. However, those don’t always solve the problem.
A more complex drain repair involves an issue with the venting system. Your household plumbing’s venting system equalizes the pressure in the drain line, allowing water to flow smoothly. Water levels rising and falling suddenly in toilets, or air bubbles in stationary water in the toilet bowl, often indicate a blocked or poorly installed venting system.
When the sewer system is damaged, you might also need to have your household drains repaired. Roots growing into the drain line or cracked sewer pipes can prevent water from flowing freely. These issues affect wastewater drainage and can cause raw sewage to return to household drains. Sewage water contains bacteria and other contaminants you don’t want in your home. If sewage water floods your home, you could incur additional expenses, such as water restoration.
4 types of drain repairs our plumbing company offers:
- Unclogging
- Pipe cleaning
- Pipe replacement
- Sewer repairs
The most severe drain repairs require replacing the home’s sewer pipe, but the least serious can be quickly resolved using professional unclogging techniques like hydro jetting. This is a powerful method for clearing stubborn clogs and debris from pipes using high-pressure water streams.
Before the process begins, special cameras are inserted into the pipes to inspect and identify blockages or damage. These provide real-time visuals, allowing our technicians to target problem areas. Once inspected, the hydro jet blasts water to remove buildup, such as grease, scale, or roots, restoring full water flow and cleaning the inside of your pipes.
