Shower valve repair

The shower valve had lost all pressure. When the valve was turned to the ON position the pressure would be only for a second and then it would idle to nothing. We proceeded to remove the trim as you can see in the picture. We then shut down the stops and replaced the cartridge.

After testing the valve again it all worked perfectly. Don’t you wish that every job was this easy! Shower valve Granted, we did not have the cartridge with us and we had to return a second day but still we are happy that it turned out to be so straight forward.

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.
