Other pipe repair techniques include our Dependable Rooter and Plumbing technique and pipe relining. The Dependable Rooter and Plumbing technique interchanges damaged sewer or water lines with new piping by the use of a tiny hole at the front and back of the piping run. The broken sewer line guides the new piping into place. All new replacement pipes have a projected lifespan of one hundred years and are code compliant, chemical-resistant, root-resistant, and leak proof. Another effective technique is pipe relining. Pipe relining essentially gets rid of the need for broken pipe removal. By inserting a hardening lining material which coats the inside of the existing pipe, a new pipe is created inside the broken one.

Here are Dependable Rooter and Plumbing, we have the experience, knowledge and equipment necessary to tackle small or large pipe problems with ease. We offer pipe relining for your home or business, and are always on hand to answer your sewer problem FAQs.

Sewage problems

Problems with your pipes can be easy or complicated.  Either way, it’s important to find and repair these issues before they cause any long-term  damages or begin to burst. Common issues can include:

• Broken, cracked or collapsed pipes due to soil or ground issues.
• Blockage such as grease or foreign objects preventing proper flow.
• Corrosion from overuse or breaking.
• Bellied or sunken pipes
• Leaking joints when seals have been broken.
• Root in sewer line when underground conditions are preventing the sewer line from working properly.
• Off-grade pipe or when existing pipes are made of materials that can no longer hold up and must be replaced.

If you think your pipes may not be working correctly, call up Dependable Rooter and Plumbing to get someone out there to take a look at them. Our plumbers can asses the situation easily and determine how to move forward.

Pipe relining

Our plumbers at Dependable Rooter and Plumbing know exactly how to repair damaged sewer pipes – whatever the cause may be to make them good as new. Relining is the process of creating a “pipe within a pipe” to restore the function and water flow. Our plumbers use reliable relining materials to mold the inside of the existing pipes to create a smooth, new inner wall. Often times, the process of relining doesn’t require digging into the ground and can be accessed through the building or home’s clean-out. However, if the problem is more extensive, we have the tools necessary to go underground to fix the problem. The need to reline pipes can come from several issues.  No matter the problem, Dependable Rooter and Plumbing’s relined-pipe process is seamless and durable while using materials that are non-hazardous.

Having your pipes in tip-top shape is essential when it comes to a working plumbing system. However, many problems can arise. During colder months, the chances of your pipes freezing and bursting increase. Cracks in your pipes can happen regardless of whether they’re made of plastic, copper or steel. As a result, a pipe burst can release up to 200 gallons of water in a single day and cause severe damage to your property. Luckily, Dependable Rooter and Plumbing offer the pipe repairs necessary to get your plumbing back in working order.

When you’re faced with something as serious as a pipe burst, you’re going to want a plumber to have the most advanced equipment and experience to fix the problem. With Dependable Rooter and Plumbing, we’ll be able to get your home or business back to normal. Our plumbers have the abilities and knowledge necessary to address your pipe issues.

Preventing pipe problems

There are steps you can take to prevent these pipe problems from arising. When it’s the dead of winter and you’re expecting freezing temperatures, you can turn off water supply lines leading to the washer and disconnect the hoses. Be sure to open kitchen and bathroom cabinets underneath the sinks to allow heat to circulate around the exposed pipes. In addition, if your home is cool, try adding insulation to rooms with pipes by using heat tape or thermostat-controlled heat cables.

Pipe FAQs

If you know your pipes are frozen, then you must take precautions to help ensure they don’t burst. You’re going to want to shut off the water main leading into the structure so the pressure on the pipes will be reduced. If the pipes are exposed and visible, take a look at them for yourself. Then, contact a plumbing professional from Dependable Rooter and Plumbing. We have all the equipment needed to thaw your pipes and get them back to normal flow.

Broken Sewer Line Solutions

The plumbing and sewer line repair experts at Dependable Rooter and Plumbing can assess your sewer pipe cracks and damage. While your property layout and sewer system are unique, there may be some basic issues that we can address with repairs.

These include the following:

• Pipe relining: Through this method, we’ll give you new pipes from the inside out. We can also line existing sewer pipes with a sort of sleeve to prevent pipe cracks. First, we’ll clean out the pipe, then apply the lining, which will harden in just a few hours.
• Bursting: If your sewer pipe is too damaged, we may need to pull a new sewer pipe through the hold one. This technique will use hydraulics to further break apart the damaged old one and replace it seamlessly with a new pipe.
• Preventive maintenance: Lastly, it is important to help prevent sewer line damage from occurring in the first place. With regular inspections and drain cleaning services, you can keep major debris and buildup out of your pipes and avoid cracks, clogs, or bursts.

High-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective ways to drain lines and clear away debris and buildup. The efficient and environmentally sound method of cleaning involves using state-of-the-art equipment to direct highly concentrated streams of water into your drains. Water jetting can break up everything from sludge and debris to even tree and plant roots that have punctured your drainage lines. Most businesses can benefit from having a plumbing professional use water jetting to clean their pipes at least a couple of times a year, but restaurants and other food-service establishments may require quarterly or even monthly treatments. Give Dependable Rooter and Plumbing a call to set up a jetting service schedule that meets your company’s needs.
