Berkeley is a fairly old city that surged in growth between 1906 and 1909. Berkeley locals need to know that the older their home or business looks, the more likely it is to have a historical plumbing system. When you have an old general plumbing system, it's especially important to ensure it's well-maintained and that repairs are taken care of immediately by a qualified plumber.
Berkeley locals should know that some of the most common problems in older homes are copper pipes with lead solder. These pipes can cause health problems, corroded pipes (due to the materials they were made of in the past), clogs, leaks, and sediment buildup caused by outdated or improper installations. Most of these problems can be solved quickly and easily by local plumbers. Berkeley residents who are experiencing any of these problems in their homes should not hesitate to call our highly skilled and licensed plumbers.
Our highly qualified plumbers in Berkeley can provide a wide range of services for your plumbing system. Find out more about these essential services below.
Drain Cleaning: Plumber Berkeley
When your sink or toilet has become backed up, you may begin to worry about the repairs needed to fix the problem, but sometimes, all you need is a thorough drain cleaning from a professional plumber. Berkeley's local plumbing and drain experts can help you there. Our drain cleaning process entails the following:
Video Camera Inspection: Before we start drain cleaning, we will perform a video camera inspection to check the condition of your drain line. We will feed this camera into the heart of the pipe to take note of any obstructions that may be causing backup, and we'll also be able to see any repairs that have been done in the past. Once the inspection is complete, it's time to clear those drains!
HydroScrub Jetting: For our drain cleaning service, we employ a method called hydro jetting. This involves using a high-pressure water jet, operating at up to 4000 pounds per square inch, to clear the area of dirt, buildup, debris, or blockages. This jet is powerful enough to blast away cement. Once the cleaning is completed by a local plumber, Berkeley professionals will be able to determine if repairs are needed.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
A key indicator of sewer line issues is when wastewater begins to back up into your plumbing fixtures. When this happens, you'll need sewer line repair or replacement from our trusted plumbers. Berkeley plumbing experts will employ one of two methods, depending on whether you need repairs or replacement.
For repairs, we will use our pipe relining method. Pipe relining involves inserting a resin-coated inflatable tube into the interior pipe. Once this is in place, we will inflate the tube and cure it in place using UV light, hot water, or steam. Once cured, voila! Your pipe is like new.
When your pipe has suffered more extensive damage, you'll need our pipe-bursting service. This replacement method uses hydraulic equipment to burst and expand the current pipe while dragging a new pipe into its place. For severe damages, such as collapse, we may need to employ an excavation to replace the pipe.
Sewer Compliance Checks
Are you in the process of buying or selling a home? Or perhaps you're in the midst of extensive renovations. Whichever of these applies to you, you must ensure you're up to date on sewer compliance. The Oakland-Berkeley area must adhere to the East Bay Municipal Utility District Private Sewer Lateral Program, or (EBMUD PSL) Program. Not sure where to start? Simply call in the plumber Berkeley residents can trust to take care of it for you. Ensuring you're compliant with this program will help with root growth, water intrusion, sewer backups, leaks, and more.
