When do You Need a Drain Repair?
Repairing Drain Smells
Drain problems don’t always come in the form of water not moving, they can often come as lingering smells that travel all throughout your home. The reason for these foul odours can be many and varied, but all of them are as unpleasant as the smell itself, and that reason is often lodged deep in the system. The most effective way to deal with these odours is to call in drain plumbing professionals. Plumbers at Absolute Draining and Plumbing have specialized equipment and training to deal with the problems lodged deep inside your plumbing.
Flooding Due To Blocked Drain
Water damage is some of the most expensive damage that can affect your home. Unlike other kinds of damage, it can seep into almost anything, and lead to a myriad of ongoing problems all over your home. Flooding is perhaps most common in basements during floods and ice storms outside of the home, but clogged and broken drains can also lead to water damage. If your drain is causing water to seep out, wither by overflowing the sink or because the drain itself is broken and leaking, call in a professional and stop using that sink. The plumber can help mitigate the water damage, seek out the root cause of the issue, and fix it in no time.
Recurring Drain Clogs Repair
Perhaps the single most frustrating experience with drains doesn’t come when they break down for the first time, but when they keep breaking down or clogging at seemingly random times.
The reasons for recurring blockages are many and varied, but almost all are impossible to detect without help from professionals. Professional plumbers regularly provide drain cleaning services and use heavy-duty drain cleaning equipment that can get rid of stubborn drain clogs in a matter of minutes. They also have diagnostic equipment to determine why the clogs keep happening. These can include fancy drain cameras and devices that can detect the presence of blockages in pipes without having to open up your walls and take apart the actual piping. Ultimately, a drain inspection is the best way to proceed, discovering the root cause of the issue allowing the right work to be carried out preventing the clog from coming back.
Drain issues are some of the most frustrating plumbing problems that homeowners face. On top of the inconvenience of having a drain no longer work, the problem can often resurface at seemingly random intervals. For these types of drain issues, your best bet is to call a professional and certified plumber.
Drain Lining Process
- Drain camera inspection
The closed-circuit television camera permits to identify all visual defects inside the designated pipe (blockage, collapsing, water infiltration, etc…), also, it is used after the rehabilitation process.
- Drain snaking
Snaking is the most effective method of pipe cleaning and it allows to remove debris and/or tree roots from the sewer system.
- Insertion of a bladder into the felt tube
The tube consist of a layer of laminated, flexible, needled felt capable of caring resin, withstanding installation pressure. The bladder is made from reinforced PVC membrane and can bear pressure up to 30 PSI.
- Preparation of epoxy composition
An appropriate amount of resin and hardener are measured according to the length of the liner and carefully mixed to form a homogenous substance.
- Saturation of a fibrous tube with epoxy
The pre-measured amount of resin is introduced into the liner’s front end and a vacuum is drawn from the opposite end. The vacuum and rolls are assisting the resin penetration into the liner fabric.
- Insertion of a liner into the old drain pipe.
The liner/bladder assembly is inserted into the old pipe through the access point – a small excavation or a clean-out. The pushing rods inside the assembly are capable of delivering a liner up to 30 feet long.
- Inflating the tube with air.
The liner is typically held in place at 10-12 PSI for 3-4 hours and cured at ambient temperatures. Once the liner has cured, the air pressure is reduced and the inflation bladder is reverted away from the cured pipe by pulling back.
- Cutting the liner to get a new drain pipe.
To confirm the quality of the installed liner second camera inspection is performed and the new pipe is connected to the existing sewer system.
