If you’re looking to buy a house, consider having your sewer line checked!

Here are some real good reasons to have the sewer system inspected prior to purchasing your new home: If there are problems with the system, the repairs, replacement, or possible sewer connection can be very expensive if it is not in good condition. Another reason, If you are in escrow and discover that the system is not in good condition, it raises the level of stress to have to negotiate the repairs or credit. However, if you have the information from the inspection, then you can make an informed decision when determining your purchase. Most importantly, If you know the condition of the system, then you will also be aware of what ongoing maintenance may be necessary as well as the costs associated. Lastly, if your considering doing an addition to your new home you will definitely want to know what the upgrade or improvement costs will be to accommodate the proposed addition.

Clay pipes are pretty strong under pressure, but they are not flexible! This means that clay pipes are an easy target for cracking or shattering if they are in contact with blunt impact or ground movements.

Cracked clay pipes can lead to leaks and could eventually mean the collapse of your sewer system!

The best way to find out if your clay pipe sewer system has any cracks is to perform a specialty sewer inspection using a high-optic camera. Not only will you see the cracks on a screen, our technicians can locate precisely where the cracks are located on your property. Call us today to schedule your sewer inspection (323) 295-1156.

Nothing is more disgusting than sewage backing up your drain and leaking into your home 🤮!

Tree roots can find your pipes vulnerable places and widen them, causing your pipe to crack. Clay pipes in older plumbing systems are especially susceptible to tree root damage.

Suspect that you may have roots in your sewer line, give us a call and we’ll provide a free inspection (323) 295-1156.

Clay sewer pipes are not flexible nor root proof!

Roots of trees or nearby shrubs can easily take hold of a clay pipe. As the root grows, it forms a conduit that transfers groundwater, soil and other materials, creating a sinkhole surrounding the pipe. Clay cracks or collapses under this sustained pressure, putting your home plumbing at risk.

Questions? Call us (323) 295-1156.

In Los Angeles, it is common to still find older clay and cast iron sewer/drain lines. Out of the ordinary, we find sewer lines that are made up of a concrete material.

Concrete sewer lines were used broadly in urban areas of Los Angeles. The advantage of concrete pipes was that it allowed for steel reinforcement to be placed within the pipe.

Concrete pipes do erode when used for sewer lines. The cement in this kind of pipe begins to break down leaving loose and exposed rock in the place of solid structure. It actually begins to lose its ability to hold together and crumbles when it has eroded too much.

In January of 2007 concrete pipes were eliminated from the permissible materials for sewer line installations in Los Angeles. The City can sometimes require a video inspection of the your sewer line before issuing building permits. Examples of this might be adding a guest house to your property or adding a new bathroom. The Cities inspector may require concrete sewer lines to be replaced if this should occur.

Here we have a concrete sewer pipe that starting eroding and a large section of the pipe had disintegrated, causing sewage to leak out in the surrounding soil. Call us today for a free quote to repair a concrete sewer pipe you may have (323) 295-1156.

Before and After of a Cast Iron Sewer Line Replacement in Los Angeles.

Cast iron pipe was originally a very reliable option for sewer lines. It is a strong pipe however it does rust over time. Cast iron has an expected service period of between 50 and 80 years before it will usually begin leaking. Cast iron pipe can clog at any time in its service period, even long before it requires replacement. The inside of this type of pipe is very rough and can catch and hold onto paper towels or wet wipes. Anything which does not disintegrate easily can catch inside a cast iron pipe and eventually cause a temporary clog.

Repair your sewer/drain line without the expense of damaging your landscape and wallet!

A sewer trenchless pipe liner is a cutting-edge solution designed to rehabilitate and reinforce existing sewer pipelines without the need for extensive excavation or disruption to the surrounding environment. This innovative technology has revolutionized the field of sewer infrastructure repair and maintenance.

Traditionally, repairing or replacing damaged sewer pipes required significant excavation, leading to disruptions, environmental concerns, and higher costs. However, the trenchless pipe lining technique eliminates these challenges. It involves inserting a flexible liner coated with a specialized resin into the existing damaged pipe. This liner conforms to the shape of the host pipe, effectively creating a new, structurally sound inner pipe within the old one

If you have a leak coming from the ceiling beneath your shower/bathtub, it could mean you have a leaky shower drain.

The shower drain trap and pipes are connected to the drain at the bottom of the shower with a shower drain assembly. The assembly usually consists of a strainer and a strainer body or fl**ge that are visible from inside the shower. A bead of plumbers' putty or silicone caulk is run around the bottom lip of the strainer fl**ge to seal it against leaks.

Common reasons for a leaking shower drain include a worn or damaged rubber gasket, a cracked fl**ge, plumbers' putty that has become dry or brittle or not enough plumbers' putty or silicone. Some drain repairs can be fixed from inside the shower, while others require opening and working inside the ceiling under the shower.

Call us if you suspect a leaking shower drain. Call (323) 295-1156. We are here to help!
