Commercial Water Pipe Repair

Pipes are used to carry water, sewage, natural gas and other fluids. They usually become worn out after a certain period of time and need to be repaired or replaced.

There are two different methods of pipe repair:

1) Pipe lining or liner installation – This is where the pipes are enlarged by inserting a new and usually thicker pipe inside them. This will allow the old pipes to carry fluids without any problems for many years.

2) Mechanical trenchless rehabilitation – This is when the soil around the pipes is excavated in order to repair them. The old pipe is cut out, cleaned up and a new one inserted into it for better flow.

The pipes which are used in homes are mostly of the type that are threaded and connected together by joining them. The threading is done by a person who turns the threaded end of one pipe over the threaded end of another to join them.

Pipes with this type of connection are not expensive, but they have to be joined very carefully so that there is a good seal. If this is not done properly then water will leak from the joint and may lead to flooding or even damage the floor.

Repairing Water Pipes

There are a number of factors which might cause the water to leak such as burst pipes, frozen pipes, broken pipes etc. However, if the water leak is not noticed in time and the water starts leaking in your home or office building then there is a high chance that it might cause significant damage.

In order to accomplish this, professionals must first locate the problem in the pipeline and determine if it needs to be repaired or replaced. They then dig up the necessary area around the pipe and cut away any damaged sections before installing new pipe sections and putting back all of the top soil and gravel. In some cases, they may have to replace a section of pipe that is not yet installed underground.

Types of Water Line Pipes:

  • Copper

    Copper water pipe repair is a complicated process that requires a lot of knowledge and skill to complete successfully. If you need copper water pipe repair in your home or office, you should consider getting it from one of the top rated plumbers

  • Plastic

    Water pipes can be a serious hazard if they break. If you have a plastic water pipe, you should know what causes it to break and how to fix it. In general, most plastic water pipes will not burst due to internal pressure unless there is a blockage in the system, sediment build-up in the pipe, or an internal rupture.

  • PEX

    Repairing a PEX tube in your home can be a painless process. A crimp or clamp connection system and using copper, stainless steel-brass fittings with copper or stainless steel crimp rings is the cheapest way to go.

  • PVC Pipe

    PVC pipe is a standard flexible pipe used for all types of plumbing, including drain, waste, and vent. It is widely used in homes and commercial buildings. PVC pipes are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. PVC pipe can be repaired by cutting out the damaged part and replacing it with a new one. In order to prevent further damage, you can close any pinholes or grind off sharp edges on the pipe ends if they have been cut by a blade.
