Pipe Repair and Replacement
Causes of pipe damage include pipe degradation over time, leaks, build-up and obstructions. Pipes are typically made of brass, steel or copper. In many cases, the pipes can be repaired. However, in some cases, the damage is extensive enough that a replacement is needed. Both repair and replacement can be costly depending on where the problem is and what the problem is. If the pipes are located underground, trenches might have to be dug to access the pipes in need of repair or replacement. In some cases, it is advisable to reline the pipes. There are a few different methods for relining pipes and your technician can explain these options to you and make recommendations based on your system and the issues you’re having.
