When you experience plumbing problems, Loyalty Plumbing is here to provide pipe repair in Centennial Hills, NV. A leak demands your immediate attention, but there are many other issues you shouldn’t ignore.
Slow drainage, for instance, can worsen into a clog that’s more expensive to remove. In some cases, pipe replacement is the better path forward. Replacing older pipes can cost more initially but will typically save money over time.
"Always reliable! The only company I trust with our home's plumbing." - Jonathan C.
Often, a homeowner will need to decide whether they should repair or replace a pipe. The right answer depends on the condition of the pipe and the scope of the problem. You must also weigh the cost of pipe repair against the cost of pipe replacement. When you’re dealing with relatively inexpensive materials, such as PVC, it’s usually best to replace. With metal pipes that are in reasonably good condition otherwise, a repair can make sense.
It may just come down to replacing connections that have worn out over time. It’s also possible to replace valves, washers, O-rings, and so forth. If the pipe has a puncture, spot welding is often the most durable solution. Repair clamps can be effective. There are also tapes and other sealants that are effective but maybe not as durable.
Not all pipes are easy to access. Sewer lines, for example, are underground, and some homes have plumbing under the slab. Excavation is often an option for sewer lines and the like. The problem is that digging can be expensive, disruptive, and time-consuming. This is why plumbers will usually opt for trenchless pipe repair whenever possible.
One popular form of trenchless repair is a cured-in-place pipe. CIPP involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the pipe. A plumber then inflates it to restore the pipe’s inner lining. If trenchless pipe replacement is necessary, pipe bursting is also effective. This is where a plumber uses a bursting head to break up the old pipe while positioning the new one.
Watch for these other signs you may need pipe replacement or repair:
Low water pressure
Odd noises from your pipes
Visible rust or other corrosion
Sudden increase in your water bill
Discolored water or water that tastes bad
