Sewer Repair, Cleaning and Installation

Sewer repair and sewer installation are some of the larger projects that we take on at Appleton Campbell. Appleton Campbell has the professional plumbing experience to know the legal requirements for piping and what permits are needed for sewer repair. We use the newest pipeline video inspection tools. This non-destructive method of assessing root and other damage allows us to find the exact location of the problem and fix it efficiently and with minimal digging. So don't call just anyone, call the local plumbing professionals at Appleton Campbell. We understand local sewer repair better than anyone.

How Do I Know That I Need Sewer Repair?

Sewer repair is needed when your sewer is backed up or starts leaking. This is probably one of the most unpleasant plumbing situations you can encounter, and since this is a much more complicated problem to solve than something like faucet repair, you want a qualified technician who knows what he is doing. This is because, depending on the condition of your sewer pipe, a section of sewer pipe may have to be replaced. To determine if you need to replace a section of sewer pipe or the entire sewer pipe, a video inspection is performed to assess your sewers condition.

Video Inspection

Sewer repair that is performed correctly requires a video inspection. A camera that is inserted into the interior of the sewer pipe sends back live video of the  blockage in your sewer line. Our video inspection equipment is also equipped with locators to determine the location and depth of the sewer line damage from above ground. This allows for spot repairs if possible. Video inspections can tell if you have root intrusion, separated pipes, offset pipe joints, or a broken pipe. The pipe must be draining to be able to see within it, so that may be part of the sewer repair that is required.

Common Sewer Problems

Sewer repair is necessary to remedy certain common problems in older lines. Generally speaking, unless there is some kind of accident, sewer line damage happens over time. One of the main causes of sewer line damage is roots that grow through cracked lines. One small crack in an old sewer line will make it the target for a root system to take hold and block or destroy the pipe. You can use sewer line cleaning to remove roots, but this is only a temporary solution if you have older pipes. Sewer line cleaning may actually destroy older pipes. In this case, you will be looking at sewer installation with other materials like plastic.

Sewer Installation

Sewer repair might not work for some old pipes, so sewer installation is the next step. We offer complete solutions for your sewer needs, and this includes the entire sewer installation. As always, we promise fast and dependable service, minimal disruption of your residence, and flat-rate, honest pricing. There is no need to call anyone else because Appleton Campbell can do it all. This includes pipe material recommendations and delivery, root removal, video inspections, spot sewer repair, as well as complete sewer installation. We also fix under slab water leaks.

Water Lines

A water main is the principal pipe in a system of pipes for conveying water, usually referencing underground installation. When a water main breaks, it is essential to have it repaired quickly, since this is the main source of water for a business or household and can feed into multiple residences.

Water main repair is not an easy job and requires the knowledge and expertise of a skilled local plumber who is familiar with local plumbing codes. This is because in the construction, rehabilitation and repair of a water main, there is the potential risk of contamination to the water supply and the entire distribution system. At Appleton Campbell our qualified technicians know how to safely and effectively repair and replace water mains so your water supply can be reinstated with minimal interruption and without the threat of contamination to the water.

Water mains should be designed in such a way that adequate separation from potential sources of contamination is maintained. This includes separation from sewage pipes, storm water, and reclaimed wastewater. Pipe material, joint type, soil conditions, and repair or installation space are all factors in the repair and replacement of water mains.

At Appleton Campbell we follow local and state regulations for proper installation and repair practices. Standards for cleanliness and safety are maintained and no harm from contamination comes to you, your family, or your employees.

If you have a blockage or a break in the water main leading to your home, contact Appleton Campbell for fast, reliable service from experienced plumbing technicians. We will have your water running clean and safe again in no time.
