A plumbing company can be a good friend to have. If you experience an emergency where a pipe is leaking or the sewer line is backing up, then you want to call this friend and hope they can come out immediately. However, there are some steps you can take to prevent an emergency, and one of these is having your sewer drain line inspected routinely.
If your home is older, you may have broken galvanized piping that is beginning to form a clog. Or, you may have tree roots getting into the line and forming a clog. They don’t have to be your tree roots since roots can travel 100 feet seeking water, and they will find a way into your line and grow into a sizable clog. The plumber in Memphis can inspect your sewer line with a video camera that runs through the line to the street unless it is stopped by a clog. If a clog is encountered, then the plumber will run a cutter powered by a 3200psi water line. This cutter will chew up the clog and clean the sewer line walls.
Your plumber should check your home for water lines that were made out of bad material in the years 1978 to 1995. These polybutylene pipes are leaking now. Those pipes that are behind walls will cause a serious problem even if the leak is a pin hole leak. This kind of leak will allow black mold to grow which is a tremendous health hazard. Many homeowners have had this piping replaced. The plumber in Memphis can readily detect this material.
The plumber should check for leaks in the wall where you may not notice it. A wet baseboard area is one sign and a damp spot on the wall is another sign. The walls should be opened up and the leak fixed so you will not see your walls crumble.
Every drain in the house should be inspected. Some drains like those in the bathroom will build up hair and clog the drain. Drain Go Plumbing can get rid of these problems quickly. Ask the plumber where the vulnerable areas are in your plumbing since he is probably very familiar with the area.
