Sometimes the things that we depend on every day but cannot see get put on the backburner. That is why systems such as our plumbing or ductwork tend to be ignored. When a problem develops with these types of unseen systems, though, they become a lot more difficult to ignore. Old, corroded or damaged pipes in your home have the potential to do serious damage. At Resolve Rooter, we want to help you protect your Montgomery County home. If you notice any of these warning signs then it may be time for professional repiping service in your house.
One of the most obvious warning signs that you need to schedule repiping service is the presence of water leaks in your home. If you notice water pooling in any area of your house you need to call a professional plumber immediately. Not only do water leaks lead to water damage, but even small leaks can cost you a lot of money in water bills.
Of course, water leaks can happen in any area of your home plumbing system. This means that you may not be able to see the water leak. This does not mean, though, that there is no way for you to be alerted to the presence of this leak. If you notice a decrease in water pressure or an increase in your water bills without any change in water usage, you likely have a leak. A professional plumber will be able to assess the seriousness of this leak and your pipes themselves to determine if repiping is necessary.
Pipes do not need to leak or burst in order to justify repiping service. Sometimes the quality of your water alone is enough to make this judgment. If your water is of poor quality, has a lot of sediment in it or is discolored, your pipes may be to blame. Pipes degrade over time, after all, and the corrosion of your pipes or the buildup of contaminants may be best resolved with repiping.
For more information about repiping services in your Montgomery County home, call the expert plumbers at Resolve Rooter. Our goal is to make your home as comfortable and convenient as possible. Schedule service today to give us that opportunity.
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!
If you turn on the water in your home in Rockledge PA and notice that it’s brown, this is not a good sign. In this blog post, we’re hoping to do more than state the obvious and give you some good information about what this might mean for your plumbing and what you should do.
What Causes Rust-Colored Water?
The cause of rust-colored water can vary from location and individual circumstance. Here are some common sources:
Rusted pipes – This can either be from the pipes on your property or from the pipes that your municipality is using.
Sediment – If your pipes have holes or cracks in them, dirt can get into your water and turn it brown or rust-colored.
Stagnation – This can occur in cul-de-sacs where water sits for long periods of time. This can turn the water red or brown.
Water heater – If you have an old water heater, it may have started to rust on the inside of the tank. If your hot water is particularly rust-colored, this may be the reason.
What Should You Do?
If you’ve started to notice that the water in your Rockledge PA house is turning a different color, you should probably call a professional Rockledge plumber. But here’s what your plumber will do to remedy your situation:
Repair or Replace pipes – If your pipes are corroded and leaking, your plumber will most likely suggest that you have them replaced. If it’s a small crack on your newer pipes, the plumber could just repair the broken section.
Flush the pipes – For issues like sediment and stagnation, the pipes will also need to be flushed of the old water and dirt.
Replace water heater – In the case of a rusted water heater, almost always this results in replacing the new water heater. There really isn’t much that can be done once rust is inside the tank.

All broken water lines will not immediately result in obvious water leakage. Even though you can not see anything visually, there may be a leakage in your pipe, and that leak can be costing you a lot on your water bill as well as causing all types of problems in your Montgomery County plumbing and on your property. The following are some steps to take that may help you in finding a broken water line.
Defective Pipes
This is the primary reason for leakage in pipes. In most cases, the type of pipe used in the home creates the broken line issues. If you find that the pipe in your home is of poor quality, replace it sooner before it creates problems for you.
Sudden Increase in Your Water Bill
If you notice a sudden increase in your water bill or see puddles forming in your yard when it isn’t raining, there may be a broken water pipe in your home or yard. Pipe lines may be broken or cracked due to unexpected environmental causes or normal wear and tear. If you usually have a stable water bill, and then it suddenly increases, you should suspect that there is a broken pipe line inside or outside your home.
Check Your Meters
If you suspect there may be any leakage between your home and the meter in your street, there is a simple way to check it. Shut off the main water valve in your home completely. Then check to see whether the meter in the street is running or not. If it is still running, you have a leakage or a broken pipe somewhere in your home.
Freezing Temperatures
Extreme temperatures may also cause problems in your water lines. Particularly if your pipes are not buried deep enough underground, they can break when it gets very cold outside for an extended period of time. Aging pipes may also create problems, so age is something to consider when searching for a broken pipe line.
Pipe bursting is not something that any homeowner wishes to experience, however is a likely occurrence if polybutylene pipes make up the structure of your main water line. Poly piping is not structurally sound due to the breakdown of the plastic from chemicals that run through our water supply, such as chlorine. The older the pipe, the more likely it is to burst unexpectedly, leaving homeowners with a serious problem to clean up. If you do not know what kind of pipes make up your main water line system, it is advisable to find out. If what you find is that you are one of many homes that were built with poly piping, then you would be best served to get it replaced as soon as possible.
Resolve Rooter is here to help keep the costs of a main water line replacement down by using the Resolve Trenchless Technology system. Instead of incurring the expense of having your yard or sidewalk destroyed with tons of cleanup involved in traditional methods of trenchless, Resolve Trenchless Technology eliminates the need to dig anything up. This video shows just how simple it is:
Most people in Morris Plains don’t think a lot about their water or sewer line. But when something goes wrong with either one of them, you have a big problem on your hands. Educating yourself about these types of plumbing disasters can help you catch signs of a problem early.
Broken Water Lines
Water lines that come into a building can break at any time. Water lines can be caused by a pipe that froze during winter months, cracked and began to leak under the house, or perhaps a clog caused water pressure to build up to levels which finally made the pipe burst. When you first notice a broken pipe or a burst pipe, the first thing to do is turn off the water supply to the building to prevent additional water damage from occurring to surrounding structures and items. Then it is time to call the water line replacement experts at Resolve Rooter.
Broken Sewer Lines
Sewer lines can break for many of the same reasons as water lines. These include tree root infiltration, pipe corrosion, and extreme temperatures. Signs of a broken sewer line include a sewer smell, sewer flies, and damp spots in your yard. If you notice any of these signs, the best thing you can do is call a Morris Plains plumber who offers video pipe inspection services. They will be able to send a camera down your sewer line to determine the exact cause of the problem and the best way to fix it.
Frozen Pipes
Another common plumbing disaster is frozen pipes. During the colder months of the year water in pipes can easily freeze and expand, leading to a broken pipe and eventually resulting in water damage. Preventing frozen pipes can be done through proper insulation of the areas surrounding where pipes are located, as well as insulating the pipes themselves. Extremely hot temperatures can also cause problems with pipes, so if you notice standing water on your lawn or drop on your water pressure during any time of year, call a plumber immediately to check for broken pipes.
