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.

Hatfield Plumbing Guide: How to Prepare for a Water Line Repair

Monday, September 24th, 2012

If a problem has developed in your Hatfield home’s main water line, you will likely need a plumber to visit your home and perform extensive repairs. However, before that happens, there are a few things you can and should do to prepare. Here are some of those things and how to handle them to make the process as smooth as possible.

  1. Turn Off the Water – Turn off the water to your home at the main water line before the plumber arrives. Whether it is a break or a small leak, this will hopefully stop it from causing any damage in your home.
  2. Flush All Fixtures – Flush the fixtures in your home once the water is turned off to clear the pipes of any excess water and ensure there is no back flow when the pipe is repaired.
  3. Leave the House – If the repair requires replacement of one or more pipes, you may be without water for a few hours.
  4. Disconnect All Appliances and Water Filters – If you have any whole house water filters or appliances that connect to the water supply directly, turn them off and disconnect them before repair.
  5. Warn the Neighbors (if outside) – If the water line repair requires work to be done outside, warn your neighbors so they know to expect noise and extensive work, possibly digging.
  6. Get Permits (if necessary) – If digging is necessary, you may also need to obtain a permit before work can be done. Many contractors can handle this process on your behalf.

By performing each of these steps you can ensure that your water line repair or replacement goes smoothly and requires as little disruption to your daily routine as possible. For more information about trenchless water line replacement in Hatfield, give the experts at Resolve Rooter a call!

Morris Plains Plumbing Guide: Signs of Water and Sewer Line Problems

Monday, August 13th, 2012

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.

Problems with Water and Sewer Lines

Pay attention to your Morris Plains plumbing system and help prevent problems with your sewer and water line.  If one of these should occur contact Resolve Rooter and rest assured that help is on the way.

Allentown Water Line Tips: Why Water Line Replacement and Repair is Not a Do-it-Yourself Job

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Even if you are comfortable doing some of the minor plumbing repairs in your Allentown home, you should never attempt to replace a main water line on your own. You could potentially hit an underground utility line and do major damage, not only to your home, but the homes around you as well.

Only a qualified plumber has the experience and required tools to replace the broken line and affected pipes. Additionally, the sooner you call a qualified plumber to repair or replace your main water line, the less potential there will be for further damage to your home. If you aren’t sure whether or not you need repair work on your water line, there are some definite signs to look out for.

Water backing up in your yard is one of the most obvious indications of a main water line break or leak, but you could also notice drops in water pressure or high water bills before this happens. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call a plumber before it turns into a major hassle and expense.

While extreme weather can cause a water line to break, it’s typically caused by corrosion or root penetration. This is another important reason to have your pipes and plumbing system inspected once a year by a qualified plumber. Video scans of your pipes can detect any issues before they get worse.

Plumbers are also able to repair and replace the water line in your Allentown home with advanced technology that does not require digging up your yard. Call Resolve Rooter if you notice any obvious problems or suspect a leak in your main water line. Replacing a water line should be handled by a professional, and we have the experience, skills, and proper equipment required to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Glassboro Plumber Tip: Signs that You Have a Sewer or Water Line Issue

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

The last thing anyone in Glassboro wants to deal with is a water line or sewer issue. But, it happens. Pipes freeze, crack, and get old and eventually they fail. But, if you recognize the signs of a problem before it gets really bad you can take care of it quickly. So, to help stay in front of the problem, here are some signs you should watch for.

  • Increased Water Use – Are you suddenly using way more water than you ever did before? Whether you first notice an uptick in your water consumption or your most recent water bill just gave you a small coronary, this is a sure sign that a leak has sprung somewhere in your plumbing.
  • Odd Smells in Your Drains – Your plumbing system is designed so you never have to smell anything. If there is a smell coming from your drains it can be due to anything from a dried out drain trap to a backup in the sewer line. If pouring a fresh gallon of water down the drain doesn’t solve the problem, it’s time to call for help.
  • Slow Flushing or Draining – When clogs start to form in your drains and sewer line, one of the first symptoms is a universal slowing of the drains in your house or business. It could be something minor like a clog in a single pipe but if you notice every drain suddenly moving much slower, possibly combined with odd smells in the drains, you may have a much larger clog in the main sewer line.
  • Consistently Wet Lawn – If you spring a leak in a water line or sewer line under your lawn, the only way you’ll notice (short of watching your water meter like a hawk) is when the water pools up above your lawn. But, usually before that happens, dampness will form. If it hasn’t rained in a week and the ground is still wet to the touch, combined with any of the other symptoms on this list, it may be a water or sewer line issue.

When you have a problem in your sewer line or water line, it can grow slowly over time, so if you pay close attention and catch one of these issues early enough, it will be much easier to fix the problem right away.
