Sewer Issues Trenchless Pipe Relining Professionals Can Fix Without Waiting Long Days

  • Did you know that fixing severe sewer problems can really take time to the extent that it can extend to weeks and months? It’s because not all sewer problems are the same. Some just terribly require more work than the others. Luckily, with the help of plumbing professionals, fixing sewer issues big and small are now easy and less invasive. We’ve gathered some sewer issues here for you that trenchless pipe relining professionals can fix in a short amount of time.
  1. Broken Sewer Line – When your sewer line has damages, the higher the risk for sewage and sewer gas entering your home. The reason this problem should be treated as an emergency. When it’s not fixed in time, not only will your family’s health be at risk, but as well as your home’s foundation. It will develop cracks overtime that will make it lose its structural integrity. Trenchless sewer relining can address damage to existing pipelines. Instead of digging a 20 foot trench from your home to the curb to repair the broken line, we can reinforce fabric layers that are saturated with resin to coat or seal off the damaged areas of pipe. There is usually no excavation involved at all. This means faster job completion as there’s no need for reinstatement works to fix driveways, walls, landscapes or other assets or services near or above the repair area.
  2.  
  3. Tree-root Affected Pipe – Sewer problems always have a way of wreaking havoc when you least expect it. Oftentimes, the damage may already be too severe for temporary solutions or to wait longer, just like the damage caused by tree roots. 
  4.  
  5. With our years of experience of fixing damaged pipes, we’ve found growing tree roots inside the pipe to be the cause of broken sewer lines. Thanks to the no-dig pipe relining services, we only need to use air to push the new pipe in the older sewer piping to close gaps or seal off broken sections. If your sewer happens to be in a dense area with lots of valuable structure, underneath a building or landscaping then this method is perfect for you! With this method, we don’t need to dig up your property to clear roots. The resin hardens and is ready to completely protect your pipe against potential tree roots. The new pipe is also stronger than the original and because it’s seamless, it can withstand years of beating and heavy loads. 
  6.  
  7. Aging Sewer Line – One of the biggest plumbing headaches settles in when aging sewer pipes start cropping up some problems. If your home is more than 40 years old, it is recommended that you consider pipe relining solutions. It is because most of the antiquated plumbing systems still have old sewer lines made up of clay pipes that are prone to collapse with age. Relining aged sewer pipings improves its efficiency and extends its lifespan to decades. If we determine more work is required to completely restore your sewer to good condition, we can definitely provide options for you.
  • Sewer leaks – There are many good reasons to consider trenchless pipe relining in Sydney and sewer leaks is one of them. Frequent clogs can lead to leaks in your sewer line over time. This happens when the current pipe is not large or efficient enough to accommodate the plumbing activity of the entire household. If the water has nowhere to go but sits on the pipe, it will put pressure on the pipe or find other ways to escape, causing cracks or breaks in your pipes. When they do, it’s important that you repair them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the problem will only get worse to the extent that the damage will be impossible to repair with just sealing off the leaks. 
  • Why Hiring a Trenchless Professional is the Best Way to go?

  • As with other home repairs, different materials and methods can be used to work best with the situations. It is because of a number of factors and the nature of the problem. Most often, one of two things can happen if a professional is not handling the job. Either the resin mixture is incorrectly put together or some source of water has washed away the resin before it has fully served its purpose – to harden and cure the pipe. 
  •  
  • Unfortunately, sewer problems can happen where they are sometimes hard to detect, let alone fix. But when you hire a professional like Revolution Pipe Relining, we can inspect and diagnose the problem correctly with our high-end tools. You can sleep at night knowing your sewer are restored to optimum efficiency. 

  • We can fix a wide variety of sewer problems without making a mess and making you wait for many days, so it’s certainly worth looking into if you need to resolve sewer issues quickly. Call us now for free inspections and for pipe relining cost estimates.

How Compromised Sewers Affect More Than Just Your Plumbing

  1. Did you know that when your sewer system is not working in your home, it can affect more than just your plumbing? Sewer leaks can occur at any point in time with or without warning. The first thing that may come to your mind when it comes to sewer leaks is the inconvenience they cause, but certain types of leaks can quickly lead to health risks and damages in your home that you should also take into account.
  2.  
  3. If you are in bad luck to experience a sewage leak in your home, there are serious threats that make the need for an immediate and effective solution a priority. We will take you through each of these risks and give you recommendations on what you should do to avoid them.

HEALTH RISK

  1. While the possibility of further damage and repair costs is something to worry about, the health risk caused by severe leaks is an even greater cause for concern. A person’s health is at risk in cases of sewer leaks for the reasons below;
  1. GAS
  2. The most common sewer gas emitted from a sewage leak is hydrogen sulphide. Also known for its signature name, rotten egg smell. A person exposed to this naturally occurring gas in high dosage can experience sickness, disorientation and even death in the worse case. Due to its heavy-than-air characteristics, it can collect in confined spaces such as sewers and manholes. Sewer drains that have dry traps can become a portal for this gas to enter the home, and where leaks are present, this gas can easily escape through it. Relining sewer pipes will best address this problem to make your home sewer-gas proof again.
  • CHEMICALS
  • In an attempt to clear a blocked sewer or slow-emptying drain, homeowners usually pour chemicals down the sink or toilet. While this proves effective at clearing minor clogs, they can also become hindrances in the event of a leak. If the drain or sewer pipes are damaged during the process and they start leaking, these chemicals will leak into your homes. Chemical drain cleaners are not just harmful to plumbing but also pose risks to anyone who uses them. The high toxicity in drain cleaners like peroxide and bleach proves fatal if swallowed, inhaled or if they come in contact with the skin.
  •  
  • PATHOGENS
  • Humans catch diseases from wastewater in many different ways. Pathogens that are present in wastewater may be transmitted by direct contact with sewage or by drinking water or consuming food contaminated with sewage. Contact with contaminant carriers – humans, insects and animals is also another way where pathogens can be transmitted. If you walk in a yard with a failed sewer, there is a potential that transmission might accidentally occur. Pathogenic organisms that exist within us are not harmful, but when they left our bodies and are ingested again, they become a threat to our health. When a sewer has leaks, pathogens have a great chance to enter your homes, where they can easily contaminate food and surfaces. The most common illnesses that a person can get when exposed to pathogens are typhoid and cholera.
  •  
  • INSECT INFESTATION
  • An insect infestation can also become a concern for those who have broken sewer lines. Cockroaches have a knack for getting through even the tiniest sewer cracks into your home. These crawling insects have many negative consequences for human health because the allergens found in their feces, saliva, and body parts can cause allergic reactions or triggers asthma symptoms. Getting rid of them by pest control may help prevent their threat. However, if you have a compromised sewer line, these bugs will never stop making an appearance in your home. If you suspect these insects are entering your home through cracks in your sewer lines, call the sewer relining contractors to permanently seal off the cracks
  •  

PROPERTY DAMAGE

  • A compromised sewer line does nothing but creates a terrible mess, cause contaminated water to enter your home and encourage damage to your foundation, your floors, ceilings, walls and personal property.
  • Foundation damage – Home foundations are those load-bearing structures that hold up your home, typically built below ground; They are often installed above sewers running beneath your home and are always at the risk of damage from even the tiniest leaks. When a sewer that goes through the foundation cracks either due to age, tree roots or environmental conditions, it will likely leak and cause significant damage to your foundations. People often notice signs of foundational problems such as sagging walls, uneven floors, shifting doorframes, windows don’t properly closed, and recurrent plumbing problems. If you notice these signs in your home, a broken and leaking main sewer line may be a contributing factor and you should immediately call a sewer pipe relining specialist.
  •  
  • Indentation in the lawn or under pavers – Another troublesome problem of a broken sewer line is an indentation in your lawn, or under pavers. A cracked sewer line that is consistently soaking the ground may cause the soil to dissipate. It will cause your lawn to develop an indentation or sink above where your sewer runs. If left unaddressed, this problem may escalate into a sinkhole problem in your yard. A sewer pipe relining in Sydney specialist like ourselves can investigate this problem further, remove the pavers and patch or reline sewer pipe sections that are compromised.

What should you do?

With a compromised sewer line, the least you could expect is unstable foundations and health that are at risk. If you don’t want to suffer from these consequences in your home, call Revolution Pipe Relining for a sewer pipe relining cost estimate or to get a free sewer inspection.

Is It Okay to Leave a Blocked Toilet Overnight?

  1. If you had a long day and ended up with a blocked toilet, we understand the urgency to hit your bed and leave the headache until the morning. No one wants to bother a plumber for a clogged toilet at night. But is it okay to leave your toilets in bad shape? It may not be. Like any problem you wait to fix later, there are also potential consequences of leaving your toilet as-is for extended hours, which, while it is unlikely to cause worse things to happen immediately, are not worth the risk.
  2.  
  3. If we’re talking about an interval of 2-3 hours, you may be fine, but if it has been more than a few hours that you haven’t asked a plumber to look at the problem, there is some risk. Here are a few consequences you should be aware of before you decide to leave the toilet in a dreadful state.
  • Why it’s Not Okay to Leave the Toilet Clogged Overnight?

  1. You’ll end up with a sewage backup – A clogged toilet is no laughing matter. You could be waking up to a bigger mess than you expect. When you wait it out, there’s a great chance that the water will overflow along with other things swimming in the drain because it has nowhere to go. Leaving you with a contaminated home. When this happens, you need to do more than just scrub the floor and collect the waste. You need to disinfect the area, or your entire home to make sure the dirty water won’t leave any traces of dirt and toxic materials that can put you and your family’s health at risk. At this point, you should call a professional for a blocked toilet fix and investigate the problem further. 
  2.  
  3. Your home will stink – Homeowners are used to the fact that when they flush, everything goes away. But, you probably might not realise just how much of a mess and smell a clogged toilet will leave you after a few hours of leaving it untreated. When a toilet is severely blocked or reaches a point of sewage backup, it releases air-borne contaminants from bacteria growing on the waste sitting on the blocked toilet drain. These contaminants can lead to symptoms like cramping, dizziness, fever and vomiting. In the worst case, a person can experience gastroenteritis. This problem is unhealthy and makes dealing with the clog the following day more unsanitary.
  4.  
  5. You’ll worsen the problem – If you leave a clogged toilet longer, you’re only making the problem worse. When you clear a clog, for the most part, only those parts of the clog that are water-soluble are dissolved and flushed away. The rest will fill in sections of the toilet drain with fissures, making the clog worse. Human error can also come into play. The problem might slip your mind until the next time you flush, leading to immediate sewage backup. It is also right this time when some homeowners can get cranky and reach for chemical drain cleaners in the hope of clearing the clog right away. But it will only do more harm than good to your plumbing. This product rarely works as promised, especially on stubborn clogs, but only causes damage to your pipes.
  6.  
  7. You’ll end up with a completely non-working toilet – If you have another bathroom to use in the morning, leaving a clog may not be much of a problem, but if this is not the case in your home, don’t wait any longer to get a blocked toilet plumber to come and fix the problem. A toilet that is acting up might be a random annoyance, but it can also be a warning of a more significant issue lurking down the line. In addition, the longer you allow the clog to sit in your toilet drain, the more opportunity it has to put pressure on the wax ring leading to leaks. 

Warning Signs of a Serious Clog

  • There are many reasons why a toilet could clog. Identifying the major issues causing the blockages is the best way to avoid future problems.
  •  
  • • Poor flushing power
  • • Gurgling sounds
  • • Toilet Bowl Full or Overflowing
  • • Persistent odours
  • • Overflowing gully trap

What should you do?

A clogged toilet is a ticking bomb. So it is never a good idea to leave it on a bad note at night or at any point in time, especially when you’re beginning to notice the warning signs above. Action the problem head-on! If you have a plunger or an auger that can do the job, that’s a great start rather than doing nothing. But, only do it when you know what you’re doing. Reckon with, making mistakes on a clogged toilet will only worsen the problem.

 

If you don’t want to end up with a toilet full to the brim of filthy sewage or a completely malfunctioning toilet, advise the professionals right away. We can save you from the potential expensive repairs and associated risks when the problem worsens.

 

The wisest decision is to call Revolution Pipe Relining right away, although the situation is not as bad as you think. We can inspect the toilet further for other problems and fix your blocked toilet for good!

7 Subtle Signs Your House May Have a Major Plumbing Problem

  1. Your plumbing is made up of a complex network of pipes so it’s sometimes hardly noticeable when there’s something going on unless you have trained eyes for plumbing. That means you know the real situation down the line or in your entire plumbing at the first sign of damage. Call yourself lucky then because you’ll unlikely need to bear with the consequences of a bad pipeline, but if you’re like many who can’t even make a wild guess of what is and whatnot keep reading on.
  • How to Know Your House May Have Major Plumbing Problem

  1. 1. YOUR HOUSE STINKS
  2.  
  3. You get home or wake up with a foul smell in your home, like rotten eggs even when you have home fresheners, you may be in bad luck for having a major plumbing problem in your hand. This could mean that there’s a weak link somewhere in your plumbing system. Possible reasons could be lack of proper drainage, loose seals around the toilet, dry P-trap, improperly installed vents, or worst, broken sewer lines. This funky smell is harmful to health especially when you’re exposed to it for an extended period of time. As it’s tricky to determine the source of the smell, you’ll need to call Revolution Pipe Relining so we can come out, and diagnose the problem. If we find out the smell is caused by a sewer pipe that has damage and can still be fixed with relining, we can carry out a Sydney relining solutions to fix that part.
  4.  
  5. 2. YOU SEE PAINT DISCOLOURATION/WALLPAPER PEELING ON YOUR WALLS
  6.  
  7. Discolouration of paint in your walls or deterioration of wallpapers is a result of a long-time hidden water leak. Unfortunately, leaks don’t cause a sudden gush of water all the time. Oftentimes, they start with just a trickle that viciously crawls onto other surfaces like your walls. As water collects and is absorbed into your wall or wallpaper, you’ll see black, brown or yellow spots and wallpaper peeling in places. The water causes the paint to loosen and the wallpaper to weaken. Other signs of a hidden water leak behind a wall also include paint peeling or bubbling. This problem is hard to tell, especially if the damage appears behind furniture or wall hangings.
  8.  
  9. Clogged water and sewer lines are what cause pipes to leak, water damage, and broken pipes. If leaks go undetected for a long time, your house can suffer not only from physical damages but as well as foundational damages. Damages that have reached this point would mean thousands of dollars in repair costs.
  10.  
  11.  
  12. 3. YOU HAVE AN UNEXPECTED PUDDLE IN YOUR YARD
  13.  
  14. It’s normal to find a puddle in your yard, especially after torrents of rain, but if you haven’t had any recent rain and notice standing water that seems to never go away, a soft spot or a sunken spot, then there’s a big chance that you have a sewer pipe that has either partially or completely collapsed. Rainwater shouldn’t take long to be absorbed on the ground but when there’s a leak, dislodged part, or a collapsed sewer line, the water running through your sewer pipe will escape and crawl into your yard and form a puddle. If either of these is the case, you will need to have your sewer pipe replaced or relined by a sewer pipe relining professional to seal off these damages.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. 4. YOUR WATER METER NEEDLE KEEPS SPINNING FOR NO REASON AT ALL
  18.  
  19. Your water meter’s needle should only spin if there’s water activity in the house, but if you notice it moving even with all the water-using fixtures are off, you should seek a plumber’s help right away. This problem is an indication of an invisible leak somewhere in your system. A leak is bad in so many ways. If the problem is not addressed, you will not only lose money from wasting water, but you also risk your home from different sorts of water damage. So don’t compromise waiting for another day without calling a pipe professional like Revolution Pipe Relining. We’re pipe relining Sydney experts and we can locate and repair leaks for you. 
  20.  
  21.  
  22. 5. YOUR WATER BILLS HAVE INEXPLICABLY SKY-ROCKETED
  23.  
  24. If your water bills are increasing exponentially from one month to another, but your water usage remains the same, it is likely that a hidden leak is causing the problem. In this instance, it is best to call our plumbers in Revolution Pipe Relining so we can come out to your home and check the problem further. You don’t want the leak problem to remain unaddressed for a longer period of time. The longer you wait to fix a leak, the more it spikes up your water bill. But the worst part is water leaks can risk your home from mold growth, flood and other possible damage in your home.

  27. 6. YOU NOTICE PART OF YOUR FLOOR FEELS WET, SAGGING OR CREAKS
  28.  
  29. If no one has slopped any water on your floors and you notice wet spots in your carpet or that your floor seems creaking or sagging when you step on it, you might have a slab leak. In homes with concrete slab foundations, the water pipes and drain lines run directly under and through the slab. If one of those pipes has damages, the water collects on your floors from underneath your home. If the problem goes on completely undetected, it will not only damage your flooring but also your entire home’s foundation. The consequences of a leaky pipe is just so damaging that you should treat the problem as an emergency as soon as you notice these signs.

When water seeps out in walls or in your ceiling, you may notice a musty smell that gets stronger as days pass. This is your indication that a leak has worsened.

Plumbing Activities That Can Cause the Most Damage to Your Plumbing System

  1. Have you been having problems with your plumbing but you can’t figure out why? Did you know that embarrassingly those devil-may-care plumbing habits you’re doing make you the worst enemy of your plumbing system? The good thing is, you can avoid most of the plumbing headaches and repair costs by just knowing each of them and how it can wreak havoc in your home. Let’s check out each of them.
  • Plumbing Activities That Can Cause the Most Damage to Your Plumbing System

  1. NOT BEING MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU TOSS DOWN YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL
  2.  
  3. Garbage disposal should have no problem breaking food scraps, but when you’re not mindful about what you put into it, problems will start to come about. Unfortunately, despite your high expectations, the reality is, that no garbage disposals can handle all sorts of food scraps. That means, it has limitations. Fruits and vegetable peels, meat bones, eggshells, stringy foods like pasta, and other food items that are solid or slippery enough to escape the disposal are just some of the food scraps you should avoid hitting the drain. Simply because they neither break down completely nor dissolved. You might not notice it but the scraps from these foods only get through the disposal and down your drains. If you also throw greasy items and used cooking oil in your kitchen drains, these items can all the more make your drains choke when food scraps come in contact with it and form lumps and ball of blockages.
  1. TOO MUCH RELIANCE OF CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS
  2.  
  3. If you’re like other homeowners who can’t resist the quick fix promise of a chemical drain cleaner, then expect your plumbing to only hold up a shorter year. It is a misconception that chemical drain cleaners are powerful enough to clear clogs. When you pour this harsh chemical down your clogged drain it will eat through the blockage and won’t leave your pipes untouched. The corrosive acids will stay on the joint first, then they will continue to work their way to the pipes. This process unfortunately only slowly eats your pipes away but doesn’t guarantee a complete remedy to any blockage. The vicious cycle continues when you keep using harsh cleaners until your pipe will reach a point of complete failure. It’s best to steer clear of this remedy, but If you think you have been using chemical drain cleaners for ages, call Revolution Pipe Relining right away. We’ll run a drain camera through your pipe to check for damages caused by harsh chemicals and recommend pipe relining or pipe replacement when the damage is bad enough for your pipe to still hold up.
  1. POURING GREASE DOWN THE DRAIN
  2.  
  3. Oftentimes, when a kitchen drain refuses to let the water or food scraps through, build-up of grease, fat and oil are to blame. You might be surprised to know that even a drip of grease poured down daily can greatly affect how your drainage system operates in the long run. When you pour grease into your sink, it doesn’t all easily travel down your pipe and into the sewers where they meet up with other waste. They slowly crawl down your pipes or stay on the pipe surface waiting for the right time to come in contact with other food waste to form a clog. When this happens, flushing water will become difficult to do. So, the next time you’re cooking greasy foods, don’t be tempted to pour them down your kitchen drain. It may be a small favor to do, but it does have a long-term impact on your drains when you perpetually resist it.
  1. DISREGARDING SIMPLE PLUMBING PROBLEMS
  2.  
  3. There’s really nothing wrong with fixing a simple plumbing problem later when you have time to do so, but remember, it is also this time that you’re giving the problem an opportunity to worsen. What you might think is just easy to fix is already a sign of a major problem. For instance, a blocked toilet. It is so common that hardly anyone can tell could be a red flag of a serious problem down the line. This happens when there are build-ups of food waste or tree roots blocking the pipe. If you notice your toilet is sluggishly flushing even after you’ve adjusted the water pressure, then you really have a blockage problem at hand. Don’t waste time reaching your plunger. You must have fixed a block with a plunger the first time, or the second, but that doesn’t mean you will continue to have a stroke of luck the next time. The key to working plumbing all the time is to not ignore any problems, despite how easy it is you might think.
  1. FLUSHING UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TOILET PAPER
  2.  
  3. Nothing is done excessively can do good. The same is true with your plumbing, specifically your toilet. They do have limitations to the amount of toilet paper they can take and when they reach that point, they can become a problem. Therefore, the next time you take a leak or dump, think before you drop. Make it a habit to try to be conservative in the amount of toilet paper you use. It may be hard to believe, but toilet papers are made to maintain their form, even when dissolved in water. You can never find toilet paper that rots in a flash the moment it gets flushed down the toilet. They take time to dissolve and when used excessively more than what seems reasonable, can terribly clog your toilet and may completely block your sewer line. When it gets to this point, it will require a lot of work and a professional sewer pipe relining professional to do.
  1. RESORTING TO DIY
  2.  
  3. There’s nothing wrong with applying what you’ve learned on YouTube or over the internet. But, only when it won’t do more harm than good in your plumbing. Home remedies are good to try, but make sure you won’t end up calling a professional plumber to fix a botched job you did. Keep in mind that even a simple repair when done wrong can in turn into a costly mess, like leaks. So, don’t compromise. Avoid being lured to the money-saving promised by DIY fixes. They are nothing but just a hit and miss solution. If you want to have long-term working plumbing, call the pipe relining in Sydney experts as soon as you encounter a problem instead. We guarantee a complete fix to damaged pipes whether it’d be cracks, leaks or dislodged parts.

What should you do?

Sometimes it only takes a few changes in plumbing habits to keep fully-operational plumbing, but if you have been doing all of the above for a while now, we recommend you speak to our team urgently. Your plumbing is already compromised, so don’t take chances anymore if you don’t want to risk paying a hefty sum for major plumbing repairs down the road. Call Revolution Pipe Relining right away and we’ll send someone to your home to inspect the system further. 

 

We offer a competitive pipe relining cost for our drain relining, sewer pipe relining or pipe relining. All of which will restore your damaged pipe to full functionality.
