Bucks County Plumber’s Tip: Signs You Need a Sewer Line Replacement

Monday, January 28th, 2013

Are you wondering whether you need a sewer line repair in your Bucks County home? The best way to know for sure is to call Resolve Rooter for an inspection. We’ll examine your drain and sewer lines and let you know whether or not you need to repair or replace your sewer line.

With our comprehensive video pipe inspections, we can get a full view inside the entire length of your main sewer line. This allows us to check for damages or leaks and helps us determine the best solution for your particular situation. There are also some warning signs that it may be time for a replacement.

Do your toilets get backed up often? There could be a clog deep in the line, which will need to be cleared with a professional drain cleaning service. Slow drains could be another sign of a clog in the line. Using conventional drain cleaners can damage your pipes because these cleaners contain harsh chemicals. It also doesn’t fix larger issues. You could have a tree root blocking the line, which means it could be leaking and needs to be repaired or replaced. If you notice soggy spots on your lawn or sewer flies near wet areas, call Resolve Rooter.

At Resolve Rooter, we make every effort to minimize damage to your yard, sidewalks, and driveway. That’s why we offer trenchless sewer line replacements, which allows our plumbers to replace part or all of the sewer line without digging trenches in your yard. This new method also takes about half the time as the old method.

Keep in mind that prevention with routine maintenance is also important. You can reduce the need for repair or replacements with one of our drain cleaning services and video pipe inspections. If you live in the Bucks County area, don’t hesitate to call Resolve Rooter for trenchless sewer replacement!

Why Consider a Water Line Replacement? A Doylestown, PA Plumber’s Guide

Monday, December 17th, 2012

Of all the amenities that we have become accustomed to in our modern homes, access to clean and reliable water is one of the most basic. It is also one of the most important and integral to day-to-day life. The decision to replace the water line that supplies your Doylestown, PA home plumbing system with fresh, dependable water is not an easy one to make. It requires some disruption to your water service and also demands some expense. Chances are, though, if you are considering replacing your water line there is a very good reason for it. Contact Resolve Rooter if you think you may benefit from a new water line on your property. We can help you make the right decision.

A water line replacement is something you should only consider if there is a definite problem with the existing line, or if it presents any sort of health risk. One such issue that may lead to this decision is if you know that your existing water line is a lead pipe. In this case the expense of a new water line is completely justifiable. A new, modern pipe will not consist of such potentially harmful elements as lead.

While water lines are among the most durable components of your home plumbing system, they are not immune to damage. All it takes is one small crack or corrosion to cause a damaging leak. With the amount of water moved through these water lines even a small leak can cause big problems. Such cracks can also allow tree roots to grow into your water line, resulting in blockages and low water pressure. In either case, a water line replacement can resolve the problem.

At Resolve Rooter, we understand how important high-quality water service is to your home. That is why we offer exceptional trenchless water line replacement services throughout the Doylestown, PA area. Contact us today for more information about why this may be the right decision for you.

Montgomery County Trenchless Technology Guide: Tools of the Trade

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

If you are looking for trenchless pipe replacements in Bucks or Montgomery County, call Resolve Rooter. We can handle all your water and sewer line replacement needs, and we are a local plumbing company that specializes in trenchless technology, as well as video pipe inspections.

Call Resolve Rooter for Trenchless Sewer Line Replacements

Because the plumbers at Resolve Rooter use trenchless technology for all sewer line and water line replacements, we save you money and a lot of hassle. With trenchless replacements, there is less labor and damage to your property. Other methods require digging trenches across your lawn, which creates a lot of damage to your yard and landscaping. Trenchless technology also prevents tearing up of driveways and sidewalks, so there’s no reconstruction involved.

To replace your pipe without digging up your yard, your plumber needs special equipment. They will have a flexible camera that they can use to evaluate the problem with you water or sewer line, and help you decide if repair or replacement is the best option. They also need a  special cable which is run through the damaged pipe. At one end, the cable is attached to the device that moves it through the old pipe, and at the other end is a bursting head. Attached to the bursting head is the flexible piping, which will replace your old line. As the cable is pulled through the the old pipe, the bursting head breaks open the pipe and the new pipe is put in its place. These tools allow your plumber to replace your water or sewer line quickly and with very little damage to your property.

Video Pipe Inspections

After we complete a pipe replacement using trenchless technology, we can inspect it and ensure that the job was done correctly. These video pipe inspections also give our plumbers an opportunity to spot other issues early on, such as tree root intrusion, before they become a major hassle.

Remember that replacing a sewer or water line is a plumbing emergency that must be handled quickly and professionally by the plumbers you can trust. The plumbers at Resolve Rooter provide reliable 24/7 emergency plumbing repairs to Bucks County, Montgomery County, and the surrounding areas. We’re sure to have a service truck in your area, so call us any time!

Why Your Sump Pump Failed: Bucks County Plumber’s Guide

Monday, November 12th, 2012

Many home prone to flooding in the basement or lower levels have discovered the benefits of a dependable sump pump. Installed in a sump pit in the lowest point of your home, a sump pump keeps your basement and possessions stored there safe from flooding. A little bit of water can do a lot of damage to your home and belongings, and a lot of water can be downright disastrous. Unfortunately sump pumps, like any other mechanical device, are not perfect. Occasionally a sump pump may fail, and that failure of the sump pump in your Bucks County home can lead to serious damage requiring expensive repairs. At Resolve Rooter we believe that the best way to avoid such problems is to educate yourself. Here are some of the more common reasons that sump pumps may fail. Make sure that you take the necessary steps to minimize the likelihood of such an occurrence in your home.

The most common reason for sump pump failure is certainly power outages. Sump pumps run on electricity, and if you think about it the conditions that would lead to flooding may well also lead to downed tree branches and power lines. Heavy rainstorms are often accompanied by high winds, and that can be a bad combination. If your power goes out it is important that you have a sump pump battery backup to take over the responsibility of keeping your home safe and dry. Of course batteries wear out too, so during long term power outages you must be sure that your sump pump is prepared to keep going.

Another common cause of sump pump failure is overloading a circuit. It is important that your service provider responsible for the installation of your sump pump ensures that it is operating on a circuit capable of handling the pump’s power needs. Ideally the sump pump will be on its own designated circuit.

Do not neglect the maintenance needs of your sump pump, or you are putting its effective operation seriously at risk. Many sump pumps are installed in pits with gravel bottoms, and it is possible for this gravel to work its way up into the pump. This can cause the sump pump to fail. A faulty float switch, the component that triggers your sump pump’s automatic operation, can also threaten the function of the pump if not properly maintained.

Use this information to keep your sump pump as safe as possible from failure. Ensure that your home is protected from flooding by scheduling regular sump pump maintenance with Resolve Rooter today. We’ll help keep your Bucks County home dry even in the harshest, stormiest conditions.

Quakertown PA Trenchless Guide: Why Replace Your Water Line

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

State Farm Insurance conducted a study in 2011 that showed that frozen pipes are one of the main causes for home water damage. As water freezes, it expands, which can cause increased pressure on your pipes. This can cause the pipes to burst and flood your yard or your home. In this blog, we go over some of the reasons why it might be a good idea to replace your water line before the ground freezes in the winter.

Rust

If you have old galvanized pipes, it is likely that rust has begun to form on the inside of them. If this is the case then it means two things. First, it means that every time you drink water from your faucets that you are drinking a little bit of rust. Second, it also means that your pipes have less space inside them for water to expand as it gets cold. This leaves your old pipes more vulnerable to cracks due to freezing than newer pipes. Replacing your pipes with fresh, new copper pipes could potentially save you from very expensive repair costs from water damage. There are other piping materials available, like PEX, which is highly resistant to freezing.

Prevention is Normally Less Expensive than Repair

If you wait to replace your pipes until you have a catastrophic leak it could end up costing you more money. Replacing your pipes out of prevention might be more cost effective. Additionally, a skilled plumber can replace your water line without digging your yard using trenchless technology.

Protect your Home Pipe Leaks

Another reason to replace your water line is to protect the rest of your property. If your water line freezes and breaks, it could leak small amounts of water into your yard or your home over a long period of time. This kind of slow damage can cause mold, wood rot and sometimes even sink holes. If you decide to go someplace warm for the winter and your pipes freeze at your home, the damage could be massive. Replacing your water line is a great way to have peace of mind about your home..

If you have any questions about preventing the water line at your Quakertown home from freezing, contact the Quakertown plumbers at Resolve Rooter today. We can send one of our plumbers out to your home to inspect your plumbing system and you water line.

Langhorne Plumber’s Guide: Sump Pump Battery Backups

Monday, October 15th, 2012

Most Langhorne homeowners know just how important a sump pump is for protection from water damage. Of course, in addition to flooding stormy weather also carries the risk of power outages.  Most sump pumps run off of a home’s electrical system, and when the power goes down it is rendered useless. If you’re concerned about water in your basement and the potential damages that you may incur in the event of a powerless sump pump, consider the purchase of a sump pump battery backup.

Sump pump battery backups give you peace of mind even in the most severe weather conditions. When the power does go out there is no way to know for how long. It may come back on before your basement can flood, but that is not a gamble you want to take. A sump pump backup battery is affordable and very easy to install and maintain. For a couple hundred dollars you can be sure that your sump pump will operate whenever it is needed, even in the event of a power outage. When you’re away from home and see reports of severe weather in your living area you don’t have to worry about what you’ll be coming home to.

It is important to note that a power outage is not the only event that can lead to sump pump failure, nor is it the only situation in which a battery backup sump pump can solve the problem. Sometimes a sump pump can simply be overwhelmed by the amount of water that comes in. A high quality, powerful sump pump reduces the chance of this problem, and it is never advisable to opt for cheap, plastic sump pumps. You may save some money up front, but it simply is not worth the risk of damage to your home.

If you have further questions about the operation or benefits of battery backup sump pumps in Langhorne or the surrounding Eastern PA and New Jersey areas, call Resolve Rooter. We have the answers and information that you need to ensure that your home is protected in the event of heavy rains, power outages, and overwhelmed sump pumps.
