Pipe relining for sewer lines can repair cracks without having to completely replace them or destroy the area around them. If your sewer lines are beneath trees, near extensive landscaping, sidewalks, driveways or other semi-permanent features, total sewer excavation can cause a great deal of damage and expense to the surrounding area. Pipe relining is a great alternative.

Relining pipes can be done using a variety of methods and is determined first by the type of leak that is found. Epoxy coating is perfect for a partial leak. To prepare the area for treatment, drain the pipes will be completely drained to get rid of any water. Then, a thick layer of epoxy coating is sprayed on the inside of your pipes to permanently seal the leaks and cracks throughout the pipeline. Pull-in-place is the best lining method for pipes that have larger gaps and cracks. The material is fixed into the pipe using heat, like steam then pulled into the area of the pipe that needs repair. Air is then introduced into the pipe to open the sleeve and hold it against the inner walls of the pipe until it dries in place.

These are just a few methods we use for relining pipes. Skilled professionals will use inversion or CIPP liner, spray liner, or blown-in coating. All of these pipe relining techniques leave behind a smooth, seamless pipe that is designed to last for generations.

I need to replace a Delta shower cartridge which should not be a problem in itself as long as I can find the correct part. The trick is, what should be a $50 job for a new cartridge plus my time and a few choice swears, will blow into a $450 job because I live in a condo building that has no separate water shutoff valve for each unit (great design, right?) so the condo's plumbing contractor has to come on site in the morning to shut the water to the entire building, back a few hours later to turn it back on, for a handsome flat rate of $400. But my shower cartridge has what seems to be a little water valve on each side with a flat slot to shut the water off with a screwdriver. Being wary of old water valves that haven't been used in years, I wonder if I should take the chance and do the repair myself. What is the worst that could happen?

To give you some additional information, We’ve lived in the house for about 2 months and the shower in that tub has been used almost daily since. We are on City services (no septic) and the smell shows up in the garage sometimes as well which is roughly below that bathroom. I was thinking of filling the bath right up and letting it drain to flush what ever is in there away, but if it is a leak, I don’t want to make things worse.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hello -

2 story house. New construction, 6mo old, 1yr warranty. Absolutely nothing has been flushed or down the sink drain that would cause a clogged like this suddenly. No septic tank. Leads out to city sewage.

Yesterday our guest bathroom downstairs had water & waste come out from tub, toilet & sink. When turning on the upstairs bathroom it does cause water to come out of the downstairs bathroom.

Plumbers were out trying to rod from the clean out from 7am-7:40pm tonight. Left about 2 times to get longer snakes & they were still unsuccessful. They think that the clog is towards the rear of the house going towards city sewer line.

They are suggesting getting a high powered commercial grade snake with a thicker width to push it through or break it up. Plumber feels like this is the best bet before having to dig. We also can’t find an access point to the sewer line from the alley.

Since the plumbers are our warranty for the house, they are working with the builder on this. The owner of the plumbing company called us to let us know that even if they can’t find evidence of the cause that we would be held liable for labor today, the rental of the high powered snake & the labor with that. Is this normal?

Any advice? Feel free to ask further questions.

If you are a plumber in the Nashville area we would like to get a 2nd opinion or chime in.

Edit: when we 1st made the service call the plumber told us that if they find evidence that it came from us we are held liable, if they don’t it’s on the builders to correct. The tone of the conversation has changed since it became a bigger project.

I hope this goes here. I bought an old house (1966) two years ago and has a deep septic tank. We are continuously having backups into our tubs and water not draining properly. We have had the tank drained twice in the time we lived here and it works great for about two days. Any suggestions??? I am desperate and don’t know what to do

Help! So the shower is not heating up so I was going to adjust the anti-scald valve however it is stuck! There’s no name brand, and the only screw hole has no screw in it!! Any help is appreciated!

How do you know if you have a water leak? With the rising cost of water in San Diego due to the drought, it’s one more reason to know how to detect a water leak in a home as soon as it begins. Whether it's a leak in the kitchen or bathroom or perhaps a leak in the main water line, knowing how to determine if a leak exists can save you gallons of water, and tons of money.

On average, a faucet that appears to have only a minor drip can eventually waste more than 1,000 gallons of water during a year without repairs. Rather than let this happen, contacting a plumber for an evaluation and repairs can benefit you financially. Following is a 3-step guide to aid you in the determination of a leak.

1) Water Meters

A home's water meter is an excellent way to find out if you have a leak. First, turn off all water in the house and prepare not to use any for at least 30 minutes, including the toilet. Second, look at the meter and note the current numbers. If after seeing the beginning number go up 15-30 minutes later despite being turned off during that time, then you definitely have a leak. If the increase is small, the leak may be as simple as a dripping faucet or toilet that won't stop running. However, if the increase is large after only a limited period of time, the problem could be in the home's cooling system or main water line.

2) Cooling Systems

Did you ever think to look into your AC for a leak detection? Even if your cooling system is modern, it can also be the source of a water leak. If water is continually found near a furnace or around ductwork in the basement, the problem could be a broken refill valve that is letting water find its way out of the cooling system and on to the floors or walls. If you have determined there is a leak in the cooling system, a professional plumber will need to examine the system to determine if it can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

3) Underground

Increased water bills, water noise running in your walls or a hot spot in your flooring can all be signs of an underground water leak. Don’t ignore these critical signs. Slab leaks are typically pinhole leaks that occur within or underneath your foundation as the concrete begins to deteriorate. These pinhole leaks can evolve; pushing water toward the path of least resistance leading to foundation cracks, water discoloration, warped flooring, mildewed carpet and other expensive damage.

If you suspect a slab or any other water leak, the sooner you act, the less costly it will be. To learn more visit http://www.bestsandiegoleakdetection.com
