What is trenchless plumbing and why should I use it?

The trenchless repair method replaces pipes without digging trenches. It’s becoming the most preferred method for sewer and pipe repairs. Instead of digging up your yard with excavations, trenchless technicians access pipelines through designated entry points. This makes trenchless repairs a faster and more affordable strategy. It’s an environmentally-friendly approach that doesn't disturb your property. Trenchless technology replaces old pipes with high-quality ones that can last over 100 years. Environmental Pipe Cleaning offers trenchless repairs to provide property owners with effective, affordable, and dependable plumbing solutions.

Why is my toilet running?

If your toilet constantly runs after you’ve flushed it, there's something wrong in its pipes. You may have a loose fill tube, imbalanced float, or sediment buildup causing blockages. These issues need to be fixed to avoid large clogs or a toilet backflow. If your toilet is constantly running, our team can provide a thorough inspection to diagnose and repair the issue.

How can I tell if I have leaking pipes?

Leaks occur at your pipe’s joints. This is the weakest area of your pipes. Leaking pipes lead to water damage throughout your buildings. Telltale signs of leaking pipes include:

 

1. Abnormally high water bills
2. Mold or mildew growing on your walls
3. Peeling wallpaper or paint
4. Stained or sagging walls, ceiling, or floor
5. Musty smells throughout your business

Environmental Pipe Cleaning performs sewer camera inspections to locate your leaks. This allows for fast, affordable, and effective repairs. The quicker you stop your pipes from leaking, the less water damage you’ll encounter.

What do I do if my drains are clogged?

Backed-up drains are a serious problem. They prevent water and waste from flowing away from your business. Standing water, foul odors, and strange noises in your pipes are common signs of clogged drains. Chemical products harm the environment and are only short-term solutions. A professional can give your drains a thorough cleaning. Hydro jetting services use water to break up clogs and prevent future buildup. If your drains are clogged, call your local pipe cleaning team.

Why do I have low water pressure?

Low water in one area of your business could be a sign of a small clog or leak. Low water pressure throughout your property signifies widespread mechanical problems. Your water meter valve and pressure regulator will need to be checked by professionals. Extensive pipe damage, corrosion, or clogs can be examined using sewer inspection cameras. Once the source of your low water pressure is identified, technicians can make appropriate repairs.

Should I be worried about a tree root invasion?

If an area of your pipeline is leaking, moisture attracts tree roots. As tree roots grow, they clog and crack your pipes. The longer the issue is ignored, the further the vegetation spreads. Common signs of a tree root invasion include gurgling noises, recurring clogs, slow drainage, and low water pressure throughout your property. If we suspect a tree root invasion, our technicians perform a camera inspection to identify where the roots are located. We use trenchless methods like hydro jetting and pipe bursting to flush out clogs and restore cracked pipes. New and improved pipes prevent future tree root invasions.

How do I know if my pipes are getting old?

Old pipes are susceptible to leaks and fractures that cause plumbing problems and property damage. Low water pressure, high water bills, recurring clogs, and discolored water are common signs of aging pipes. Our technicians perform camera inspections to analyze your internal plumbing system. If it’s time for a replacement, we use trenchless pipe bursting to install fresh, new pipes. Trenchless pipe bursting requires no excavation and allows a more durable pipe to take the place of the old one.

What is hydro jetting used for?

Hydro jetting is a trenchless method for reducing clogs in pipes and drains. It uses high-pressure water to wash away waste, debris, and tree roots. It’s strong, effective, and environmentally-friendly. Hydro jetting cleans your pipeline, so you don’t have to worry about lingering residue causing another clog. It’s a highly effective way to clean pipes and drains.

What is pipe bursting?

Old age and corrosion cause pipes to fail. If the pipe cannot be repaired, it must be replaced. Trenchless pipe bursting access the pipeline through a designated entry point. It expands the old pipe, making it burst. A new tube is installed securely into the area. The new pipe is very durable and made from High-Density Polyethylene. It creates faster water flow and is less likely to fail in the future. Trenchless pipe bursting doesn’t require excavation, so the process is quick and non-disruptive.

What does CIPP lining repair?

Cured in place pipe lining (CIPP) repairs different sewer line problems. It builds a pipe within a pipe by installing a cured pipe into an existing one. It doesn’t require excavation. Instead, small access points are used to enter the pipeline. The new pipes are built to last. CIPP repairs pipe damage on roof drains, sanitary sewer lines, storm drains, and industrial drains.

How often should my drains be cleaned?

The key to avoiding a plumbing emergency is to be proactive. Prevent water and sewer damage on your property by scheduling regular pipe and drain cleanings. If you aren’t experiencing plumbing problems, cleaning pipes and drains once a year is sufficient. If your property is large and has a lot of tenants, you may need more frequent maintenance. Drain cleanings prevent clogs, waste backup, and water damage. If you smell foul odors, notice abnormal sounds from your pipes, or experience slow drainage, call our professionals for an immediate drain cleaning. The longer you wait, the more severe your clog becomes.

What is a CCTV Inspection?

A CCTV is the most advanced and high-quality sewer camera available. We use these cameras to perform thorough pipe and drain inspections. They are attached to a camera tractor and lowered into your plumbing system via access points or manholes. Our operators control the camera from their service truck. It’s the best way to get a clear visual of your inner pipeline and diagnose the exact cause of your plumbing problem.
