The issue was a small leak in the basement that just started; I only noticed a few drops of water on the basement floor. TE Certified was the first call in the morning. Having a Home Care Maintenance plan helped with getting a plumber out to my house that afternoon. Cory and Tyler arrived within the arrival window and found the leak in 5 minutes. It was from a washing machine in the laundry room immediately above. They stopped the leak by shutting down the water input to the washer. Then they did an inspection of the rest of the plumbing in the house (Home Care helped). They flushed the water heater and gave me a quote about upgrading the valves feeding the laundry room. Having Home Care was very helpful in stopping one potentially serious problem, in performing some routine maintenance, and in helping me identify a needed upgrade. Thanks TE for another job well done, and for staffing such professional and friendly people!
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
Trenchless Sewer Services Near Atlanta, GA
Before having your sewer line replaced, it’s good to know a little about the different methods used for sewer pipe repair in and around the Atlanta area. There are two main categories. Dig-and-replace and trenchless sewer line replacement.
Traditional excavation, the “dig-and-replace” method, is straightforward and sometimes the only option for repair. Using an excavator, a plumber will dig along the entire length of the broken sewer line and replace it with new pipes. It’s effective and, like other sewer line replacement, offers a long-term solution. There is, however, a downside to the dig method. It requires your yard, and sometimes sidewalk and driveway, to be dug up to expose the pipeline. Fortunately, there are several trenchless methods used by local plumbers.
Trenchless technology allows your plumber to repair or replace your sewer line without the inevitable damage incurred by using traditional excavation methods. Before recommending a sewer replacement method, your plumber will assess the condition of the existing pipe, including construction and previous repairs, the potential for ground settling, and the location of utility lines.
Whenever possible, your plumber will suggest a trenchless solution like pipe bursting.
