Sewer problems often require the urgent intervention of a specialist to repair or replace different types of pipes.
Fixing sewer malfunctions and damages must not be delayed. The more time you let go, the worse things can get. Water leaks may occur, pipes can clog causing floods as well as many other inconveniences. In addition, if you live in an apartment building, the neighbors on the lower floors will also suffer because of your sewer line problem.
It is best to look for a professional and experienced HVAC Denver sewer specialist very soon after experiencing the problem, who is ready to start fixing your sewer. Services offered by a professional do not compare with those of an inexperienced craftsman or with the works of the Jack of all trades, master of none that probably exists in every neighborhood. The risks you expose yourself to by calling on a non-professional craftsman for such works are too big to consider, so do not make this mistake.
Authorized Denver installers can help you in case of quick interventions, but also with inspections and regular maintenance. In addition, an authorized installer will offer you a free consultation prior to the purchase of materials necessary for the intervention.
Changing and replacing your sewer line does not only involve choosing the right materials, but also the solution itself for performing the work. The principles of ergonomics, efficiency and cost are taken into account, when it comes to remedying the situation.
Here are a couple of other common mistakes you should avoid when getting your sewer line replaced.
Ignoring the signs that tell you that it is time to replace your sewer line
Old and rusty pipes are the main cause of problems in sewerage systems. If they are out of date, the problems can be even more serious. Whether it is the hot or cold water installation or the drainage installation in the bathroom or kitchen, the typical signals transmitted by an installation with old sewer pipes are the following:
- Rusty, brown or yellow tap water
- Strange taste and smell of water
- Flowing pipes
- Low water pressure
- Rapid change in water temperature
- Rust stains on washed laundry
- Rusty or blocked taps
- Periodic clogging of the drain pipes
Opting for low cost material and implicitly low quality
The domestic sewerage installation must evacuate all the wastewater from all the sanitary objects in a house, in normal safety conditions. The installation and the sewer pipes will be installed in such a way as to be protected against blockages, to have adequate cleaning components and to be easily cleaned whenever this operation is necessary.
Sewer pipes must be made of materials with smooth surfaces, resistant debris build-up, abrasion and chemical actions of wastewater. Pipes that are less resistant over time must be as protected as possible from shocks, be easily accessible and easy to replace.
The right materials for sewer pipes can be:
- Metal or various alloys, such as: cast iron, drain, steel, copper, brass or lead.
- Plastics, such as: polypropylene, PVC or PE.
