Drain Repair

Drain Repair: Everything You Need to Know

Drain repair is a vital service offered by plumbing companies, and it involves restoring the functionality of broken or damaged drainage systems. If not addressed in time, drain issues can escalate to serious problems like flooding which would cause tremendous damage to your property.

Drain Repair: What is it important?

The quality of life significantly reduces when things go wrong with our plumbing systems. Clogs, which can cause standing water and breeding grounds for bacteria and other harmful insects, can lead to minor problems in the drains. Failed or damaged pipes can create stagnant pools where mosquitoes easily breed. When we resort to address the problem ourselves, we might end up causing even more severe damages.

Unblocking blocked drains

Different substances can cause blocked drains. These include grease buildup in kitchen sinks, toilet paper clogging from loos and hair buildup in bathrooms sinks and showers. Over the years, our experienced team has dealt with many cases of blocked drains. We use state-of-the-art tools such as water jetting equipment and electronic locators to quickly locate and eliminate blockages in your pipes.

CCTV Drain Inspections

Our plumbing professionals use sophisticated technology such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections for diagnosing difficult-to-identify problems within drain systems including nasty surprises such as underground pipe collapse without excavation required.

Pipe Relining

Sometimes, replacing whole sections of piping is not necessary. Instead, we can use cured-in place pipe (CIPP), which allows us to repair sewer lines that have been damaged without trenching them. This involves inserting epoxy liner in the damaged sections of pipe before it is shaped and hardened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use DIY methods to repair damaged drains?

DIY attempts are most often not a permanent fix, more importantly, homeowners lack specialized equipment or knowledge required to get the job done right. You might end up doing more harm than good.

How often should my drains be inspected?

We recommend at least once per year. This can change depending on weather patterns, drainage system age, and maintenance (or lack thereof).
