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.

Signs of a Broken Water Line Outside Your Sharon Hill House

Monday, December 26th, 2011

If you have a leaky pipe inside your Sharon Hill house, chances are you will notice it pretty quickly. Water seeping through the walls or the ceiling is a good indication that something is wrong and it is a hard thing to ignore. However, if there is a leak in your pipes or water line outside of your home, it can be a bit harder to detect. Fortunately, there are some things you can keep an eye out for that will alert you if this does become a problem.

One of the first places to look for signs of a leak outside your home is your water bill. While your bill may not be exactly the same every month, chances are that it generally stays within a certain range. And if you use a ton of water one month for some reason, you will probably be aware of it. But if your water bill suddenly goes up for no reason that you can discern, there is reason to suspect that a leaky pipe somewhere is the culprit.

Keep in mind that unexplained puddles in your yard can also be an indication that a pipe underground is leaking. If you notice something like this, it is a good idea to call a professional plumber right away. Fixing underground pipe leaks is a challenging chore and requires special equipment that you most likely do not have lying around your home.

There are several reasons that leaks in your outdoor pipes can develop. For one thing, the pipes may be old or they may have been defective to begin with. Improper installation or shoddy workmanship can all lead to problems later on. As frustrating as it is, there is very little you can do except have the leaky pipes fixed.

Another possibility is that extreme temperatures have been damaging the pipes over time. Particularly if you live in an area with harsh winters, it is very possible that your pipes have frozen or come close to it from time to time. This constant exposure to freezing temperatures will take its toll even on the highest-quality pipes and eventually they will need to be replaced.

No matter what caused the problem, though, or how you realize that it exists, it is important to get leaky outdoor pipes fixed right away. The problem will only continue to get worse if you do not act.

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.

Common Scotch Plains Water Line Problems

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Everyone needs water in Scotch Plains. It keeps us clean, provides us with a clean drinking source and helps us cook food and wash clothes. So, when a problem occurs with the water line, it can be disruptive to every aspect of everyday life. Here are some common water line problems and solutions you can implement to solve them as fast as possible:

  • Burst Pipe – The biggest problem you can have is a burst pipe. This is a major problem and one that needs to be solved immediately. If your pipe bursts or starts to leak, turn off the main water supply immediately and call an emergency plumber. You’ll want to have it patched as soon as possible to return normal water service to your home.
  • Noisy Pipes – Noise in the pipes is a slightly less disastrous problem but it can lead to bigger problems down the road if not dealt with. Usually, it is due to air in the pipes which can create a loud banging sound. If your pipes are vibrating or banging, the easiest solution is to turn off the water supply and drain your pipes completely, then fill them back up to remove the air build up.
  • Water Pressure – Low water pressure can be due to a number of problems, from a small leak somewhere to an issue in the incoming water supply. If you notice water pressure dropping in your home, call a professional to inspect the problem and offer potential solutions.
  • Sediment in the Pipes – If suddenly you are seeing excess sediment, rust, or other debris in your water it is probably from an aging pipe. While this doesn’t necessarily signal that your pipe is about to burst, it can be a sign of potential problems in the future. Build up from hard water or erosion can both be major problems if not fixed right away.

Water line problems can range from small nuisances to major disasters that threaten your entire home, but they should all be treated with equal import. If something happens to your water line, don’t waste time trying to track down a solution. Turn off the water supply and call a professional and ask about trenchless water line replacement.

What is Trenchless Technology? A Question from Medford

Monday, November 21st, 2011

Many years ago, if you had a problem with your water line or sewer line, the only way to solve it was to dig a massive trench in your Medford home’s lawn, ripping up trees, shrubs, flowers and even concrete to access the problem. Thankfully, technology has solved this problem with trenchless repair options. But, what exactly is trenchless technology and will it solve your plumbing problems without costing a fortune?

Video Inspection

Well before anything is replaced or repaired, inspection is needed to know where the problem is located and how much of the pipe needs to be replaced. Video inspection allows a plumber to look inside your pipes without digging a massive trench in the ground, and is used whenever a clog or blockage is suspected in any of the water lines or sewer lines under your home.

Pipe Relining

For those that cannot afford to replace an entire length of pipe (especially if the affected line is extremely long), pipe relining is another option. Using a resin liner, this process repairs the existing pipe, making it effective for up to 50 years against root infiltration and leaks.

Pipe Replacement

If it turns out your water or sewer line needs to be replaced, trenchless pipe replacement is the next step. Instead of digging up the entire pipe and simply pulling it out to replace it, trenchless pipe replacement involves digging only two small holes on your property, on either side of the affected length of pipe.

Your plumber can then use a winch to pull a new length of pipe through the existing pipeline. A burst cone is placed on the tip of the new pipe to break apart the old pipe as it passes. This method allows the replacement process to take place without removing any parts of your lawn and in many cases the cost is less because of it.

Do You Need These Services?

A sewer or water line problem is often immediate and gives you little time to consider which solution is best for your needs. So, keep a close eye on your plumbing. If you notice even a small problem, have it inspected for potential repairs early so you can have a video inspection done and use the trenchless technology now available to fix the problem.

Components of Trenchless Water Line Replacement: A Tip from Mt. Holly

Friday, November 18th, 2011

Trenchless technology is a relatively option for pipe repair and replacement, allowing your plumber to replace main water lines or sewer lines under your Mt. Holly property without digging a massive trench in the ground. Cost effective and environmentally friendly, this process is designed to minimize the impact on homeowners who are worried about losing their favorite trees or disrupting their neighbors.

But, what exactly is involved in trenchless water line replacement? Here is a quick look at the process and the components involved in each step of it:

  1. Puller Unit – The puller unit is responsible for pulling the new pipe through the space between the two access points. A cable is attached to the new pipe to pull it through. The size and type of puller unit used will depend on the type of pipe being replaced.
  2. Bursting Cone- A bursting cone is often attached to the head of the new pipe to break apart the old pipe as the new one is fed into the hole. This makes it possible to feed new pipe without having to remove the old pipe.
  3. New Pipe – There are a couple of options here including a brand new line of pipe replacing the old one or a liner being fed into the old one to patch cracks and leaks. The repair method used will depend on the severity of the problem, length of the affected pipe and recommendations from your plumber.
  4. Access Points – Two access points will be dug on either side of the affected pipe line. One pit houses the hydraulic pulling unit, the size of which will vary depending on the equipment used by your plumber and the power needed to pull your new pipe. The second pit is used to feed in new pipe, which means it needs to be slightly larger.

How the trenchless replacement process works depends largely on the pipe being replaced and which repair method you select. If you have a sewer line that has cracked along a five foot length, trenchless pipe replacement may be the best option. However, a smaller problem in your water line like a small crack may be fixed without a full replacement or relining. The best way to know for sure is to call a professional and have them inspect your pipe line. Video technology makes this easier as well.
