Benefits of Sewer Camera Inspection Before Winter

Snowed in cars, icy roads, freezing temperatures, and cabin fever are all things people in colder regions have to deal with. While salt on the roads or extra sweaters may take care of some of those problems, there are no simple tricks when it comes to your pipes.

Are My Pipes Too Big to Be Relined?

Revolutionary, though it may be, trenchless repair technology has been around for some time. Seeing your place turned into an excavation site for a simple repipe has been elegantly avoided for a few decades now. However, as with every new technological stride, the question of its limitations inevitably rise. With the no-dig pipe repair, they form a question of size or whether a pipe is indeed too big to be relined.

The short of it is no, our plumbing experts can reline a pipe of any size, anytime. The long one follows.

Los Angeles Storm Drain System Tested

If you’re planning the big pipes repair in Los Angeles, chances are that we’re talking about sewer lines or storm drainpipe. And there’s something strange going on in L.A.; after a 5-year long bone-dry weather, this year will probably go down as one of the wettest in the county’s recorded history. National Weather Service sounded the alarming news that January precipitation levels weren’t quite normal, a trend that followed suit during most of the winter. More rain means more sweat for your drain, and we can help your face all that precipitation prepared.

Relining Large Pipes

There are two ways of dealing with big pipe problem: the first is traditional, it involves digging out the Earth’s bowels and turning your property into a dust fest for at least a week.

The other way to deal with a large pipe problem saves you the trouble by a way of trenchless relining of the damaged pipes. All it takes is an access point through which an epoxy resin impregnated tube is inserted and then inflated until the content hardens creating a solid pipe inside the corroded one. The whole process takes a significantly less time and is in effect a lot more cost effective. The fiberglass tube insertion is preceded by cleaning out any debris that may have populated the pipe.

After a new pipe is cured in place, our technician will check whether the lining went smoothly enough. The end-result is a brand-new sewage or stormwater system that will help you deal with the Los Angeles unpredictable weather.

Pipe Size Really Doesn’t Matter

Rarely is this statement more true that in the case of trenchless repair. No matter the pipe size, be it anywhere from 6″ to 72″, we can successfully cure one inside it. And there is hardly a more pressing need to repair than with the storm systems, given that their reinforced concrete is extremely susceptible to deterioration. Make sure to at least do a preventive video check-up before it’s too late.

No pipe is too big for us to reline. Dedicated to quality, the pipes we put in place are guaranteed to last. Contact us today and become part of the Los Angeles improved effort to make the city a better place to live.

How Does Trenchless Pipe Repair Actually Work?

Driving past a scene in your community where there is an excavation process going on, people might tend to think “Yuck, sucks to be that person.” Well, guess what? You’re not in the clear or immune to a major plumbing issue striking your home or commercial property. No, we are not trying to scare you or intimidate you. What we are really trying to do is motivate you into educating yourself. And again, no, we are not trying to pressure you into becoming a professional plumber or execute your own do-it-yourself project on your sewer lines. Leave that to the pros like us here at Angel Plumbers.

Our message to our clients is to drive home the idea of not having to rip up your entire yard, property or home structure just to get to your pipes to evaluate, clean, repair or even replace them. There is a better, easier, more effective way to skip the excavation process and avoid being that person that you drove past and felt so bad for because of the huge trenches in their yard, ruining their property and leaving a major mess to deal with in the end.

Here at Angel Plumbers, we offer what is known as trenchless pipe repairs. Trust us, this is the way to go with plumbing repairs and replacements. Why opt in for the traditional way of digging trenches to access the pipes directly? It sounds noneffective or not realistic, but it’s very real that total pipe repairs and replacements can be done without the need of accessing the pipes from the surface.

So how does trenchless pipe repair actually work?

It’s done through a cured-in-place-pipe process. Our technicians are able to access the pipes from within and, based on the old pipe’s conditions, are able to apply a strong, durable lining to the interior of the sewer line system. This lining is set to last for nearly 50 more years, leaving you with peace of mind for decades to come. This is all done with the use of one high-tech machine, a better alternative to the manpower and heavy machinery that it takes to perform an excavation process.

The new lining will prevent the need for any premature fixes or maintenance. And did we mention that opposed to the days (and sometimes weeks) that it takes to complete a traditional plumbing project? This only takes one to two days, tops. No more digging for a day to get to the pipes, spending days replacing each portion and then more days refilling the trenches. Access the pipes internally, clean them, reline them, done. All in a day’s work.

We are keeping Los Angeles as beautiful as it always has been, regardless of the sewer work that needs done. Use this no dig method to handle your sewer repairs today.

Get the Devil Out of Your Pipes and Let Angel Plumbers Drain Pipe Clean at Your Home

When the devil builds a stronghold in your sewer pipes, Angel Plumbers is your only hope! Imagine you’re having a good time at a party or some other occasion with friends or family then suddenly, your bathrooms backup. This can be a really big deal if no one can use your bathrooms during an event! More so if the sewer begins to give off bad odors.

It’s a good thing that we at Angel Plumbers are always ready to respond to these emergencies!

What to Do If It’s Too Late

If you do not make the call on time, you may try a few things to get to solve the clog problem. Here are some solutions you can try on your end:

  • Make sure your toilet does not overflow or you get yourself another disaster and a big mess to clean up.
  • A plunger will come in handy if the obstruction is not as serious as having to dig up the whole pipeline.
  • Use your toilet cleaner. It is made up of chemicals that essentially cleans and melts solids before they get into the drain. But you need to be cautious in using these excessively, though, as the chemicals can cause damage to the pipes.
  • It is also said that a half gallon of hot water poured into the toilet will help unclog it. This may work if the obstruction is not too hard or big to break with hot water.

Prevention Will Save You Money, Time and Frustration

To prevent the devil from making itself comfortable in your drain pipes, proper maintenance is advised.

Here are some of our recommendations:

  • Always clean the areas around the drainage whether it is in your bathroom or your sink. This will prevent hard objects getting into the drains without you noticing.
  • Do not flush away used cooking oil as they may cause buildups in the drainage path and will eventually cause blockage.
  • It is also effective to run hot water once in a while or after every use of your sink. This will break beginning buildups before they become harder for hot water to break.
  • Once a week or once a month, your choice, conduct a general house cleaning that involves cleaning the pipelines or inspecting for possible damages. This may require the assistance of experts. Feel free to reach out to us if you are near our area.
  • Teach your family members how to probably dispose of particles that do not fit into the drains. If you have to write some rules and post them around the house, then do so to remind everybody, including yourself, about taking care of the house without excluding one of its most important parts – the sewers and pipes.

Keep your Drain Pipes Clean

Don’t allow poor maintenance or a drainage clogging to stop you from having parties at home or from inviting some friends over! If you know how to prevent bad things from happening, then you are all good to go! Let the devil out of your pipes and be the angel of your own home with the help of Angel Plumbers!

Septic Tank Cleaning and Your Home

Imagine leaving for a weekend getaway and coming back to find a pungent smell of rotten eggs has taken over your home.  Or worse, your yard is swamped in pools of sewage.  If not properly maintained, your septic tank could fail and leave a huge mess for you and the environment.

Take Luxemburg Wisconsin for example. Up to 60 percent of sampled wells in a Kewaunee County study contained fecal microbe, the type that are capable of causing illness and even fatalities for humans and calves.

According to the La Crosse Tribune, they study found “microorganisms including Cryptosporidium, a parasite that comes from both people and animals. Researchers estimated Crypto in drinking water is likely infecting 140 of the county’s 20,000 residents each year.” The cause of this contamination is bovine and human waste that enters groundwater through cracks in failed septic systems.

Even in Santa Maria, California, where the water report came back as overall safe, they found certain contaminants that cause residents to avoid the tap entirely.

“Definitely no, we would not drink the water out of the tap,” Santa Maria resident Agkash Lakshmanan said.

Big Problem

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, septic tank failures are one of the main causes of water contamination in the United States. In fact, approximately one in four homes in the United States rely on septic tanks to dispose of their waste, so while one broken septic tank may seem like a non-issue, the spills add up. The EPA states that when a septic system is improperly sited, designed, constructed, or maintained, it can contaminate ground water with bacteria, viruses, nitrates, detergents, oils, and chemicals.

Fortunately, there are key measures you can take to avoiding septic tank failures. First, conserve the amount of water you use. By reducing your showers and using water-saving fixtures you can reduce the amount of water the soil has to absorb.

You should also never dispose of anything down the drain or toilet that doesn’t belong there, such as chemicals, solvents, cleaning fluid, orange peels, coffee grounds or paint. These could clog the drain and potentially kill the good bacteria in the tank. In addition, you should make sure the drainfield is covered well with grass to prevent soil erosion and keep gutters and other drainage systems away from your drainfield and septic tank to avoid excess water.

Finally, regularly pump your tank. This prevents solids from clogging the drainfield. Your tank should be pumped every 2 to 4 years to properly maintain your system.

Septic Tank Cleaning for your Home

At Angel Plumbers Inc. we can help you pump your septic system, or fix any other plumbing problems with ease. We work 24 hours for emergencies, so if you ever do come home to a swamp of sewage in your backyard, you can trust us to be there.

Pipe and Sewer Drain Replacement How To

How long does a residential sewer line last?

The answer depends on several factors, such as the location of the sewer line and if it has been maintained well over time. But usually a sewer line can last a family decades before it needs to be replaced.

While that may be reassuring for some homeowners who have recently purchased a new home, it can be nerve-wracking for those who know that a replacement is in their imminent future.

Homeowners often panic when they notice signs of a bad sewer line. That could be because they have heard the horror stories from their friends and neighbors about how expensive the process can be or how the company they hired left their yard in a mess after digging a trench.

But there is no need to worry about either of these common issues when you contact a professional plumber who specializes in trenchless sewer pipe replacement.

What is a Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement?

Trenchless sewer line replacement is a technique that has been around for over 15 years, yet there are many people who have never heard of this innovative way to repair your sewer lines.

With this method there is no need to dig a trench in your front yard and disrupt your landscaping. Instead, a solution known in the industry as CIPP (cured-in-place pipe), is either pulled into the damaged sewer pipe or inflated. This creates a new durable pipe inside the old damaged one.

Even if an inspection shows that you have large holes, rust damage, or other severe issues with your pipes, you can still use the trenchless method for an easy and hassle-free repair.
