What are the signs your drains need repairing?

Several indicators suggest your drains might be malfunctioning and require professional attention:

• Backed-up water: This includes slow drainage, pooling water around drains, or even water flowing backward.

• Strange noises: Gurgling sounds from your drains indicate trapped air struggling to escape, a sign of a clog.

• Foul odors: Unpleasant smells coming from drains point to decomposing organic matter trapped in the pipes.

• Moisture problems: Unexplained moisture around drains or leaks in your foundation could be caused by clogged drains.

• Pest problems: Rodents and other pests might be attracted to clogged drains, looking for easy access or food scraps.

What types of repairs can be done?

Although the choice of repair method depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the type of pipes, accessibility, and budget, there are a number of ways we can use to repair your drains:

1. Probiotic Drain Cleaning

This eco-friendly method involves using probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria, to clean and maintain the health of your drains. These bacteria can break down organic matter, such as grease, food particles, and biofilm, thereby preventing clogs and eliminating odors. Probiotic drain cleaning is a preventative measure that enhances the longevity of pipes and reduces the likelihood of blockages, making it a sustainable choice for regular drain maintenance.

2. Hydro Jetting

This is an advanced cleaning method where high-pressure water is used to scour the interior surfaces of the plumbing pipes. Hydro Jetting is highly effective at removing stubborn blockages, build-ups of grease, sediment, and even tree roots that have infiltrated pipes. The intense pressure of the water jet not only clears the immediate blockage but also cleans the pipe walls thoroughly, helping to prevent future clogs. This method is powerful and can restore pipes to a nearly new condition, ensuring optimal flow and function.

Other methods we can use to repair drains are:

3. Pipe Relining

This is a method where a new lining is installed inside the existing pipe. This lining hardens and acts as a new pipe within the old one, which is less invasive and often can be done without digging up the yard.

4. Pipe Bursting

If the pipe is severely damaged, pipe bursting may be necessary. This technique involves breaking the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. It’s more invasive than relining but is effective for extensive damage.

5. Internal Pipe Coating

Similar to relining, this method involves applying a coating inside the existing pipe to seal leaks and prevent corrosion, essentially creating a “pipe within a pipe.”

6. Patch Repair

For localized damage, a patch repair can be an effective solution. This involves placing a patch over the damaged area within the pipe, which is then sealed in place, often with resin.
