Plumbing is normally a trouble free system in the home, but it can become a nightmare. Two serious problems can occur, and they are the sewer line backs up, and the plumbing line leaks behind the wall or in some other not so obvious place. An inspection of your sewer line by an experienced plumber is the best way to have a trouble free sewer line. An experienced plumber can also find leaks in your home.
The sewer drain line can be inspected by an experienced plumber using a high definition camera that winds its way through the sewer line sending pictures of everything back to a monitor. While yo may not have any trees and, therefore, would note expect roots to grow in your sewer line, your neighbor’s tree roots can travel 100 feet. These roots will find their way into your sewer line and form a large clog which eventually and without warning will completely block the line. The result is instead of everything going forward, it comes back into the house.
If the clog is found in time, then the plumber can cut it up with a Hydro-jett machine that functions with 3200psi water pressure. This device will also clean the walls. Make sure the plumber uses a cutter which is the same diameter as the walls of the sewer line. This will enable the walls to be cleaned as well.
Sewer lines are made of cast iron pipe in older homes and these lines do break up. The camera will show this also. Plumbing Stockbridge GA has a fix for this problem.
Plumbing leaks inside the home are hard to detect unless the homeowner is looking for wet spots on the wall or ceiling. If water is leaking under a slab, wet spots will be noticed eventually. However, Plumbing Stockbridge GA has a method for detecting water leaks in the walls. A pin hole leak will over time will cause a drastic problem. It will grow black mold behind the walls and the wall board will be ruined. This condition is also an invitation for termites to come in and build nests if your area is known to have termites.
