How Can You Tell if You Need Pipe Replacement?

        Your drains are taking forever to flush – If neither of your drains in the house is flushing fast, from your toilet to your sink and your tub, there’s a big chance that a clog somewhere is obstructing the flow of the water. A clogged sewer drain line can compromise the plumbing throughout your entire home. In the worse case, you may wind up with raw sewage and murky water backing up out of your drains, even in your toilet. That’s why this problem needs to be looked at by a drain professional right away so they can inspect where exactly the clog is. Taking this for granted will surely leave you with a completely broken sewer line.

        Completely corrosive pipes – Pipe corrosion is a normal situation that happens on metal pipes as they age. In cast-iron sewer pipes, corrosion deposits, also known as scales, naturally form over time and stick to the pipe’s inner walls. Every time you flush the toilet or use the sink, debris can get caught up or slowed down by these deposits, the reason why you’re constantly having trouble with clogs. If corrosion is left untreated, it can weaken the pipe walls to the point that the entire pipeline will need to be completely replaced. 

• If there’s a section of your sewer pipe that is exposed, assess the condition by looking for signs of rust or corrosion. If either of these is clearly evident, chances are corrosion is occurring throughout the entire pipe length and it’s time to replace your pipe. But if there’s no way for you to tell it yourself, seek help from Revolution Pipe Relining.
