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 reasons for these foul odors 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, water damage can seep into almost anything, leading to a myriad of ongoing problems throughout your home. Flooding is perhaps most common in basements during floods and ice storms outside the home.
However, clogged and broken drains can also contribute to significant water damage. If your drain is causing water to seep out, whether by overflowing the sink or because the drain is broken and leaking, it’s important to contact a professional for effective drain blockage solutions. 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: A Frustrating Experience
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 identification of all visual defects inside the designated pipe (blockage, collapsing, water infiltration, etc.…). It is also used after the rehabilitation process.
- Drain snaking
Snaking is the most effective method of cleaning blocked pipes. It allows debris and tree roots to be removed 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
Technicians measure the appropriate amount of resin and hardener based on the length of the liner. They then carefully mix them to form a homogeneous substance.
- Saturation of a fibrous tube with epoxy
Technicians introduce the pre-measured amount of resin into the liner’s front end and draw a vacuum 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.
Technicians insert the liner/bladder assembly into the old pipe through the access point, which is 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.
Technicians typically hold the liner at 10-12 PSI for 3-4 hours and cure it at ambient temperatures. Once the liner cures, they reduce the air pressure and pull the inflation bladder away from the cured pipe.
- Cutting the liner to get a new drain pipe.
Technicians perform a second camera inspection to confirm the quality of the installed liner. They then connect the new pipe to the existing sewer system.
