A sewer repair can be a daunting thing. No matter where you live, or who you are, no one wants to hear that they need to have work done on their sewer line. This being said, if you do a little research about the process of sewer repair in Tacoma, in can make this diagnosis seem a bit daunting. Repairing a sewer line is definitely a large task, so you need a plumber who is qualified for such a large job. Aside from that, here are a few other things you might need to know.
1. SOMETIMES YOUR SEWER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED.
If you have a leak or break in your line that cannot be located, your sewer may need to be completely replaced. The upside to this is that you know your new sewer line should last you about 50 years, or much longer. In some cases, replacing a sewer might even be cheaper than repairing it. This is especially true for breaks in extremely hard to reach areas.
2. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE OPTION AVAILABLE.
Choosing the right repair option all depends on how bad the problem area is, and where it is located in the sewer line. Our consultants here at Harts are experienced enough to be able to give you a few options, and let you weigh the pros and cons of each one.
3. SPOT FIXES, PIPE BURSTING, AND PIPE LINING ARE ALL ALL OPTIONS.
When our consultants come out to you for a free estimate, they will be able to weigh the situation and suggest the right method of repair to best suit your needs.
4. SOMETIMES YOUR ENTIRE HOME NEEDS TO BE REPIPED.
In Tacoma, there are a lot of old homes which means there are a lot of old sewers. When these homes were built, cast iron, clay, and orangeburg were all completely viable pipe materials. As we know today, these materials do not hold up very well. By today’s standards pipes should be made of either PVC or HDPE pipe. If your system is having constant problems, it may be recommended that your entire system be replaced with up to date piping.
5. DIFFERENT MATERIALS MAY BE USED DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION.
Sometimes more than one material are needed, or are just possible to use on one job. This is especially true for sewer systems that are encased in a concrete slab.
6. YOU SHOULD ONLY HIRE AN EXPERIENCED PLUMBER WHEN DEALING WITH BIGGER JOBS.
A sewer repair is not a job for the faint of heart, nor is it a job for a beginner. A sewer repair or replacement is definitely not a starter job, so you should be sure that the plumber you are hiring is completely experienced. Here at Harts, our consultants are fully trained to take on even the biggest sewer repair jobs. They will be able to properly diagnose and resolve any sewer issues you may have.
