Video Inspection System Can Identify Plumbing Problems

If your commercial building or residence is in need of sewer repair, the plumbing services in South Florida are ready to help. Common problems with sewer lines include water leaks, slow draining, or clogged pipes. Sewer lines can get clogged with unwanted things, which only leads to bad odor, the breeding of insects, and the leaking of sewage. There are several causes of these sewer problems. It could be the result of root interruption, crushed or cracked sewer lateral, bellied drain line, deteriorated piping materials, or leaking pipe joints. In the past, traditional sewer line repairs meant destruction. Large scale excavation was necessary to repair and replace sewer lines. For the home or business owner, that meant a costly and lengthy process. The yard and driveway would require repair once the sewer line was fixed, many times the cost to repair the yard would exceed the cost of the sewer repair.

With the state-of-the-art Video Inspection System, you can now save time and money. A video camera is placed on the tip of an auger and is led down the sewer line. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is used with this sewer inspection technology. The images are so clear that any damage can be easily identified, as well as any future damage. It can reach areas previously unreachable and travel long distances. It can confirm the exact cause and location of the problem. Conventional processes could not detect major plumbing issues. This method allows the problem to be diagnosed the first time, which saves time and money. Not only is the Video Inspection System quick and efficient, but means faster repairs and minimal disruption to yards and driveways, since the entire sewer line does not need to be uncovered.

This video inspection is achieved by attaching a tiny camera to the end of an auger. Plumbers can make repairs from just two small access points, one on either end. Should a larger problem be identified, there are two options for trenchless sewer repair. They are known as pipe relining and pipe bursting.

Pipe relining involves bursting the old, worn pipe apart as a new pipe is pulled through. The old pipe acts as a guide for the new piping. The equipment used to pull the new pipe also rips the old pipe apart. The homeowner is left with a strong, new pipe in the same location as the old pipe.

Pipe relining is similar to pipe bursting, but does not involve the destruction of the previous pipe. A fiberglass liner is simply placed inside the damaged pipe. The pipe is then sealed.

Reputable plumbing services can help you with this, as well as any of your plumbing needs. Video Inspection cameras can also help you with leak detection, drain cleaning, and even help to maintain consistent, safe, and continued sewer operations.

Drain Cleaning

In South Florida, we use our appliances, sinks, and showers daily. But, how often do we think about cleaning them? And what about the pipes connected to them? These pipes can potentially harbor hazardous mildew, germs, and bacteria. One of the most serious infestations that can be found is black mold. In order to keep your family healthy and your home clean, drain cleaning should be a consideration.

There are two obvious signs of clogged drains. First, the home owner may experience a foul smelling odor. This is most often caused by trash and food waste. Usually a foul smell signals that germs and bacteria are also present. This presents a risk, as cross contamination can occur with nearby food preparation. With the interconnection of household piping systems, foul smells can move from one room to another. Secondly, a slow drain can signal a clogged pipe. This can be seen when one is taking a shower and the bath tub fills. Or water filling in the sink while one washes hands. This is most often caused by toilet paper, hair, toothpaste build-up, etc. Blockages occur in the pipe and cause water to rise to the top and drain extremely slow. This can result in a tub or sink full of stagnant water.

Before calling a plumber, the home owner may want to combat clogs and odors with regular cleaning. First, run hot water for a few minutes through the system daily. This helps to maintain proper flow. Secondly, try an all natural cleaner. Mix 1 tbsp. Of baking soda with ¼ cup vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 30 minutes and flush with hot water. This solution can be perfect for small clogs, like paper or hair. It causes a chemical reaction without the use of harmful chemicals. Be careful with store bought drain cleaning products. These solutions have strong chemicals and can cause damage when used incorrectly or too frequently. They can eat away at surfaces, seals, and pipes. Use with caution. Lastly, leak detection is also associated with drain cleaning. Water pipes should be checked for water leaks, which can cause unwanted debris to enter the house.

DIY techniques are helpful, but years of grimes, mold, waste, and build-up can wreak havoc on a system Plumbing services with a professional drain cleaner can do a thorough job. A trustworthy, local plumber can decide the most suitable course of action to meet the home owner's individual needs. This can save money and prevent larger issues from occurring.
