Water and sewer lines can back up and cause problems for a variety of reasons. Repairs can be extremely costly and disruptive. Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air offers repairs or replacements on water and sewer lines to correct a number of problems, including:
- Broken, cracked, offset or collapsed pipe – damaged pipes due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, etc.
- Blockage – grease buildup or a foreign object is restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
- Corrosion – the pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing collapses in the line and restricting flow.
- Bellied pipe – a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
- Leaking joints – the seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
- Root infiltration – tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line, preventing normal cleaning and/or have damaged the line.
- Off-grade pipe – existing pipes are constructed of substandard material that may have deteriorated or corroded.
Sewer line repairs are typically performed using the “open cut” or “trench” method to gain access to the area surrounding the damaged portion of the pipe. A backhoe may be used to open and refill the work area. With Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air, sewer line replacement doesn’t have to mean destroyed yards, ruined driveways or devastated parking lots. Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air offers Trenchless Sewer Line Repair which causes less damage than traditional repair methods. Trenchless Repair takes quality sewer maintenance to the next level and provides for less environmental impact.
To fix a burst pipe, we make small access holes where the damaged pipe starts and ends. Using your broken sewer line as a guide, our hydraulic machine pulls full-sized replacement pipe through the old path and breaks up the damaged pipe at the same time. The new pipe is highly resistant to leaks and root intrusion, with a long life expectancy. Additionally, we offer Pipe Relining which is the process of repairing damaged sewer pipes by creating a “pipe within a pipe” to restore function and flow. Epoxy relining materials mold to the inside of the existing pipe to create a smooth new inner wall, similar to the lining found in food cans.
You can count on Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air to take care of all of your water and sewer line needs with the utmost care and consideration. We handle it all from basic drain cleaning to complete sewer system replacement. Contact Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air today to schedule a sewer system check-up BEFORE the emergency happens!
