Most Common Clogged Pipe Emergencies
When pipes are clogged or make a slower move, a professional plumber or drain cleaning service should be called. It happens to all of us at a time in the house. Clogs can be irritating and stressful depending on where it is in your home or business.
A plunger may fix the issue, but it can also make matters worse, and store-bought blockage removers can harm your fixtures, pipes, skin, and clothing.
Burst Pipes
Burst pipes in your plumbing project are the most common problem of plumbing. Burst pipes occur for some reason. A pipe may be dysfunctional due to age, corrosion, freezing or damage. Freezing pipes can occur due to low temperatures and unprotected pipes. A frozen pipe bursts because of the expansion of water when it becomes ice.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are a common plumbing issue caused by dropping cold temperatures and pipes that have not been enclosed. Frozen pipes may lead to burst pipes because of the water pressure that’s built inside. Frozen pipes need to be quickly dealt with to avoid additional damage to your plumbing system.
Clogged Drains
A blocked drain is another reason that can lead to burst pipes. As the water pressure builds in your plumbing system from your clogged drain, any pipe that has deterioration or a defect can burst. If you have a clogged drain, sink, toilet or bathtub, make the simplest solution to fix it immediately.
Backed-Up Floor Drains
Floor drains in basements, laundry rooms, patios, driveways, older bathrooms, and garages can be easily clogged by dirt and debris, preventing them from draining well. As they are designed with a trap to hold water and prevent odours and sewer gas from entering the home, they should be tested regularly to ensure proper drainage. We can ensure that this is happening properly and remove any blockages that occur.
Thermal Imaging
After the plumbing damage has been dealt with, it is important that you perform a leak detection scan to make sure there are no additional water leaks in your plumbing system. An infrared camera may show us hot and cold surfaces and helps us find water leaks quickly and easily behind walls and under floors without having to eliminate them.
Don’t wait for a clog or slow-draining pipes to have your drains cleaned. Drain servicing should be conducted on a regular basis to prevent larger and costlier problems from happening. These larger problems can involve replacements or repairs to pipes and sewer lines, which can become more expensive over time depending on the damage caused.
Calling a professional drain cleaning service technician is a smart decision, as they can ensure that everything is flowing as it should be and stop any problems before they start. Call Shaul’s at 778-397-4850 or schedule an appointment with us through our website.
