Plumbing Inspection And Diagnosis
Before any drain repair in Calgary, our professional plumber must take the necessary steps to determine the best course of action for fixing your broken pipe. Sometimes a collapsed pipe may be found in one location along the pipe network or there may be fractures in multiple areas. Conducting a thorough assessment of your home’s drainage pipes gives us a ballpark idea of how to proceed for the most results-oriented outcome. We will troubleshoot your plumbing fixtures, including toilets, bathtubs, showers, sinks, faucets, and water-based appliances such as your water heater. Moreover, we will check out the draining and venting systems and measure water and temperature levels on any filtration system, including your water softener. Finally, we will test out emergency mechanisms such as the main shutoff valve and sump pump to ensure your home won’t accidentally flood.
Upon completion of the inspection, your Calgary plumber will provide you with what’s causing the need for drain repair and will continue to the next step in the process.
Video Camera Inspection
Many Calgarians perhaps wonder what is truly brewing inside the deep lagoons of their drainage pipes, yet they are always unnerved after they happen upon a clog. Mostly, clogs crop up after we have flushed down food, personal hygiene, and solid objects that should have been disposed of in the garbage or compost. Eventually, the leftover residue amasses into a tough clog that lurks deep within your drain line.
One way to suss out the location of a clog for a drain repair is a video camera inspection. This advanced technology helps uncover where a clog is located and provides information on how we can best remove it. Our trained plumber will insert a small waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable and bright light into the cleanout pipe attached to the sewer line. The camera illuminates any debris in its path and is navigated through twists, bends, and slopes to record footage that is displayed in real-time on a CCTV monitor for our expert plumber to observe. As it travels through your drainage pipes, it transmits a signal receiver whose purpose is to decipher smaller clogs from bigger ones, allowing your local plumber to decipher how to tackle your drain repair in Calgary.
With the help of a video camera inspection, you will find that a drain repair service will be more effective. Our plumber can use valuable clues to determine the whereabouts of a clogged drain and uncover any cracks or fractures that may have resulted in a hidden leak and require the following drain repair or replacement service.
If we have decided after a drain camera inspection that you will inevitably require a drain repair in Calgary, we will recommend the best course of action.
Pipe Relining
After the drain camera inspection, your Calgary plumber may conclude the damage is fairly minor, consisting of minor cracks or holes. In this case, pipe relining is the best fit, and you can expect us to utilize cutting-edge, non-invasive methods to access drainage pipes. This is a trenchless method so you won’t need to fret about a big, muddy trench being dug across the outskirts of your backyard.
We will insert a flexible tube that spans the entirety of the affected pipe. The tube itself contains a flexible and inflatable pouch, which, once aligned to the old pipe, will be blown up enough so that it pushes up against the walls of the old wastewater drainage pipe. Eventually, the lining itself will cure and harden in place and, once removed, leave behind a robust and durable new lining without any damage. Exactly how durable is this new epoxy pipe? This pipe replacement tactic is infallible and won’t collapse again anytime soon.
Pipe Bursting
Sometimes, a nasty clog has wreaked too much havoc on your drainage pipe and your drain line will require a bit more elbow grease. If our footage illustrates extensive damage, our plumber will opt for a pipe bursting for your drain repair to replace the old pipe with a brand new one. To do this, the plumber needs to dig access and exit holes and thread a new pipe atop the old one. But first, they will get rid of the damaged parts of the old pipe using hydraulics, breaking apart bits and pieces to make space for new piping. Thankfully, this process isn’t as messy as it sounds and can be completed within a single day.

Plus, those who remain extra vigilant about what they are tossing away won’t ever have to sheepishly fess up that they contributed to a clog in the first place.
