When the Drains Should Be Replaced

If there is slow drainage, mold or mildew smell, or water discoloration on the walls, it's a clear indication that it's at least time to give us a call. Our Los Banos drain and sewer technicians can perform a thorough inspection of the entire plumbing system to diagnose the problem accurately and determine the best steps to move forward. 

Cracked pipes may require complete replacement or, at the very least,  a longer-term solution than patching the old pipes together. The owners of properties that are more than 50 years old need to be particularly cognizant that the lifespan of their pipes may be at its end. 

Frequent drainage problems are a noteworthy sign that a full-scale replacement may be necessary. Just like cars, constantly going for repairs can make it more cost-efficient to get a newer model. Investing in a new system can help save money in the long term. 

The consequences of neglecting an inadequate drainage system go beyond the costs and inconvenience of frequent repairs. Failure to address plumbing issues can cause significant damage to the property and adversely affect the health of those living in the home or working in the commercial space.

When water is not adequately carried away, it can start to pool and damage the foundation. Mold and mildew that grow due to substandard drainage release bacteria into the air, causing respiratory problems for individuals. People who already have respiratory damage may experience immediate adverse effects, while others may have hidden, long-term health damage.

Our skilled technicians can help you determine whether a complete replacement or a more efficient upgrade is necessary for your plumbing system. 

Common Sewer Line Problems

The sewer line connects the private plumbing system of a home or business space to the broader municipal sewer. As such, problems that arise can be significant. 

An important sewer line issue that property owners can control directly is a blockage. Flushing improper items like paper towels or diapers down the toilet can block up the line, resulting in the need for a call to our office. 

Tree roots can also cause unexpected blockages, particularly if the sewer line, which may be running through an outdoor lawn, is in close proximity to trees. The roots grow and extend, infiltrating the piping, and obstructing the water flow.

Older pipes are more prone to damage that can significantly affect the function of the sewer line. Corrosion, cracks, or shifts are natural wear and tear consequences that can lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed.
