Professional Drain & Sewer Repairs in Lancaster, PA
What Causes Drain Backups?
Having a backed-up drain can be inconvenient and frustrating. There are several culprits for this issue, one of which is clogged pipes.
If items such as tissues, wet wipes, feminine products, soap residue, grease, fat and oil, large bones, or other various foreign objects are put down your Lancaster home’s drains, they can easily become clogged.
Other common causes of drain backups include tree roots, pipe misalignment, partially collapsed pipe or pipe belly, or a fully collapsed pipe. These can all lead to the need for a drain pipe repair.
How To Prevent Drain Backups
Sometimes, it’s possible to prevent drain backups and avoid a repair altogether. You can do so by only flushing the right things down the toilet — just toilet paper and no wet wipes, feminine products, or any other foreign products. It’s also important not to pour grease or any large food items into the garbage disposal.
However, even though we can watch what we put in our drains, a backup is sometimes beyond our control, as it’s rooted much deeper than household tasks.
How To Know if Your Drain Needs Repairing
If you’re having a backup issue with your pipes or drains, a trained plumbing professional can assess the situation and determine what kind of solution is necessary.
Often, a repair will be chosen if the pipe is reasonably accessible, is sized properly for the home’s occupants, and has a reasonably good life expectancy after the cost of the repair.
What the Drain Repair Process Looks Like
First, the sewer pipe and utilities are marked, and the damage is assessed. After the location of the damaged pipes is determined, authorities will then mark the utility lines. For all repairs, we’ll excavate to ensure the new pipe is installed properly and will last for years to come.
