PIPE REPAIRS

Camera inspections are the best way to pinpoint the source of plumbing problems. Some pipeline cameras are low-quality cameras that can be rented from your local home improvement store. We use the high quality cameras with HD full-color imaging.

If needed, we will use hydrojetting to remove debris and water to produce a clear image. A high-quality video camera inspection is essential for preparing an accurate quote and performing necessary repairs.

After your professional plumber runs a video inspection, you will get a much better understanding of the condition of your pipes and any problems that may exist. Next, you just have to decide on the pipe repair method.

Plumbing maintenance depends on cleanings and inspections. Camera inspections pinpoint the source of the problem while hydrojetting thoroughly cleans pipes.

Whether you have a pipe leak or another type of plumbing leak in your home, it can be difficult to identify the problem until there is significant damage. There could already be damage to the pipes behind your kitchen wall or under your bathroom floor. Our technicians can use their training, expertise and quality equipment to identify a suspected water or gas leak and fix the problem at its source. Bannister Plumbing & Air is available 24 hours a day to find any problem. If one seal is enough to fix the problem, we can make simple repairs. If pipes need replacing, we can get the job done without demolishing your home. Various repair techniques can be used, and we'll walk you through the appropriate options and their pros and cons before you begin. In addition to service quality, our team focuses on the speed and security of each project.

Water Pipes

Water pipes can be made of a variety of materials, including PVC (polyvinyl chloride), clay, iron, polyethylene, and copper. They carry water to all of your appliances, sinks, and tubs. These pipes are normally hidden behind walls, floors, ceilings, or buried underneath slabs.

Water pipes consist of joints, valves, and fittings, all of which can lead to leaks and other plumbing problems. Due to the hidden nature of plumbing pipes, it’s very difficult to find the source of leaks and other problems in the pipes. This is why we use camera inspections to pinpoint the exact source so we can deliver the quickest and most effective fix.

If you notice dirty water, strange noises, gurgling water, septic smells, or leaks, call a qualified plumber as soon as you can. Ignoring water pipe problems can lead to expensive water damage, low water pressure, increased bills, and water waste.

Sewer Pipes

Sewer pipes are used to transfer wastewater (black and grey water) from your kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries into a sewer or septic tank system. The majority of sewer pipes are made of plastic materials such as PVC and polyethylene, however, some are made of cast iron. Old, cast iron sewer pipes have a high likelihood of failure. Contact your local plumber to take a look.

Since most sewer pipes rely on gravity rather than pressure, they aren’t as susceptible to leaks as water pipes. However, there are many joints and fittings that can become misaligned or damaged. Tree root intrusions, channeling, and cracks can be easily detected with a sewer video line inspection. Don’t let your sewer pipes fail!

• There are many signs of an emergency or leak. Indicate that water damage has occurred or that more serious damage can be avoided, including:
• Reduced water pressure from faucets and fittings
• Water stains on walls, floors and ceilings
• Increased humidity in your home
• Formation of mold and mildew
• Increased water bill costs/readings (over 12,000 gallons per month)
• Strange noises from water pipes
• Visibly rusty pipes
• Puddles of water/moisture suddenly form on the floor
• Wet patches are occurring in your garden
• Drop in pool/spa water level

• A pipe leak can occur for a variety of reasons. Many of them are beyond your control and can only be fixed by a plumber.
• High water pressure: Most hoses are designed for maximum pressure; if it is too high, the force of the water can stretch the pipe walls until they burst.
• Corrosion: rust and other forms of corrosion with age; it is visible as discoloration or warping of the tubes. Older, worn tubes should be replaced with newer, stronger materials.
• Broken Seal: Pipe connectors have seals that can wear out over time, which can create leaks that add stress to your piping system.
• Damaged Connection: The connections between your pipes are often the weakest points; Poor pipe sealing can cause leaks and ticking and popping noises, especially when running hot water.
• Cracks: Excessive impact, movement, or normal wear and tear can cause cracks to become weak points through which water can escape.
• Temperature Extremes: Rapid freezing and heating causes the tube to expand and contract, which can lead to cracking.
• Tree Root Intrusion: Water leaks often start outdoors in underground pipes; Tree roots growing toward water sources can puncture and clog pipes, causing plumbing problems and wet patches or holes in your yard.
