Whether you’re dealing with minor or extensive damage, you won’t know until our team of licensed plumbers conducts a thorough inspection. Judging by the description of your symptoms and the plumbing arrangement in your home, we will get a better idea of where to begin our search. For example, if you are struggling with stubborn
clogged drains where multiple plumbing fixtures are affected, it’s highly likely that you need sewer line repairs. Dallas, TX, service technicians will offer the following:
Detailed Plumbing Diagnosis and Inspection
A sewer line inspection involves the support of our professional video camera inspection device, which is a small camera attached to a cable that we lower down into the sewer trap. Video inspection is a popular non-invasive, and cost-efficient method of inspecting sanitary sewers on public and private property. Besides allowing your professional plumber in Dallas to inspect your sewer pipe’s overall health, it also helps us locate the affected area that may be clogged. Typical causes of sewer line clogs include years of buildup caused by mineral deposits, sludge, and other debris; but there are also unpleasant natural phenomena, such as tree root infiltration, soil shifting, and severe weather conditions.
However, the sign of a broken pipe is not always determined by a clog, even though it’s the most common. A crack in your sewer piping is enough to cause slow drainage, soggy lawns, and mold growth, so your Dallas sewer line repair team will need additional plumbing tools for effective leak detection. They use thermographic imaging to rely on heatmaps and acoustic listening devices to measure sounds in the ultrasonic region of your pipe.
HydroScrub® Jetting
After detecting and locating the root problem, we will use hydrojetting to clear the pipe's interior. It’s the same high-pressure jet unit we use for routine drain cleaning services, as well as sewer cleaning, except that, in this particular case, we need to clear the path before we begin with our Dallas sewer line repair project. It’s an exceptionally reliant tool that we have ready during each sewer line repair. Dallas, TX, property owners can count on this system to effectively break through tree roots and clear their pipe’s interior.
Reliable Dallas Sewer Line Repairs
Now that your main line is free from clogs and debris, we shall move on to Mr. Rooter’s different methods of Dallas sewer line repair services. Before you picture extensive excavation damage, we have some good news! We use trenchless repair technology to fix underground pipes. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that involves drilling a couple of access holes to reach the affected damaged area.
Pipe Lining
Pipe lining is the most popular type of trenchless sewer line repair in Dallas, TX and occurs on a regular basis, sometimes even when no extensive damage is evident. During this repair method, an inflatable replacement pipe is soaked in epoxy resin before it’s inserted into the existing pipe to the damaged section and inflated. It takes up to 48 hours for the reliner to properly cure in place and recover your plumbing’s functions.
Pipe Bursting
On the other hand, pipe bursting is more common when several damages are present, and you’d get better, long-lasting results from bursting a specific section and replacing it with a brand-new one. This process is somewhat more complex and involves using hydraulics to break down the damaged line. While the broken pieces will be fished out through one access hole, a new section will be fed through the other one.
