Pipe Replacement in Albany
By inspecting your pipes, we can see some damage, such as those under the sinks and ones exposed in the basement. However, some pipes run under your house’s foundation or behind walls, ceilings, and floors, making diagnosis more challenging.
We use specialized cameras attached to flexible rods to find damage. Our plumbers can maneuver these cameras throughout your pipes and see real-time images. The cameras allow us to know the type of damage or clog and its location so that we can take immediate action to repair the issues.
Understanding the signs you may notice if you need pipe repair is essential.
- Lowered water pressure
- Pipe corrosion
- Pooling water
- Water damage
- Higher utility bills
- Discolored water
- Visual cracks
- Wet areas in yard
We’ll use pipe-cutting tools to remove the damaged section and install the replacement. We’ll also test for leaks after attaching and securing the new section to ensure proper flow.
Our team can correct some pipe damage with repiping. There are two main ways to carry out repiping. Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of sewer line repair. Special tools break apart the existing damaged pipe while we pull a new pipe into place.
Cured-in-place pipe repair (CIPP) is another trenchless sewer repair. We insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged area and allow it to harden. CIPP reinforces the pipe without replacing it.
After an assessment, we can determine if you need repair or replacement. These options allow us to repair broken pipes under your home without digging a large trench in your landscape. Our plumbers have undergone extensive training using the latest trenchless repair methods to ensure long-lasting results. When done correctly, these repairs can last 50 to 60 years.
