It’s easy to believe that burst pipe repairs only involve repairing water pipes, but your sewer line and household drains are also susceptible to bursts. Unless the water leak you experience is from a leaky faucet or water stains on your ceiling, other types of pipes bursting that occur behind walls, concrete, or underground are much harder to detect.
Plumbing Diagnosis and Inspection
During a professional inspection service, you can expect your experienced plumber in Dallas to have their advanced tools ready, including a video inspection camera and leak detection devices, such as acoustic listening and thermographic imaging. Since pipe bursting in Dallas typically occurs due to sediment and deposit buildup inside your supply and drain lines, we’ll need to locate clogs, detect leaks and check for corroded pipes. Once we have determined the underlying issue, we will explain to you our findings and what we believe is the best cause of action.
Dallas Burst Pipe Repair
Unfortunately, pipe bursts aren’t always just caused by loose joint fittings, but by clogs, high pressure, and corrosion, whether it’s in your water line or sewer line. If your busted water pipe is behind concrete walls, we’ll perform a trenchless pipe repair service to recover your plumbing system. There are two main types of trenchless repair techniques that we regularly use, of which both are minimally invasive and don’t require excavation.
- Pipe Lining: During this method, a couple of access holes are drilled into the wall, allowing your licensed plumbers to access the damaged line. Then, an inflatable replacement pipe is soaked in epoxy resin before our technician pulls the tubing through one of the access holes. Once the tube reaches the affected area, it will inflate and cure in place, covering the damage.
- Hydraulic Power: This method is commonly referred to as “pipe bursting.” During this type of repair, your Dallas plumber uses hydraulic pressure to break the affected pipe section into pieces before installing a brand-new section in place.
The trenchless method is a cutting-edge technology that helps protect your home from property damage and other costly damage. It’s also capable of completing full replacement services of underground systems.
