Drain Plumbing Projects (Problems and Solutions)

Catch Basin Line Replacement Project

Have you ever needed a catch basin line replacement for your home? A catch basin also called a curb inlet or a storm drain inlet facilitates storm-water drainage. When it functions properly, it’s easy to take it for granted, but you’ll know there’s an issue if it malfunctions. If you don’t practice proper maintenance, debris or contaminants can ultimately clog the catch basin. You may, in such a scenario, need to retain a plumber for catch basin replacement in Ottawa.

Problem: Pooling Water

We recently completed a catch basin line replacement project for a homeowner in Ottawa. During a rainy period, water started to pool at the catch basin on his property.

Reasons for Pooling Water: Catch Basin Replacement May be Needed

There are numerous reasons why water may pool at a catch basin. Here are some of the most common ones:

·         Sediment and debris could accumulate and back up the system

·         Older catch basin system could eventually malfunction due to wear and tear

·         Incorrect installation may lead to catch basin failure

·         Pipe failure can permit water to get out of the basin and into the soil surrounding the basin, which can ultimately erode it

Symptom: Leaky Powder Room Faucet

A member of one Ottawa family made a frightening discovery one day when he realized there was a leak in the powder room. Upon further investigation, the family identified the culprit: a leaky sink faucet. Identifying the problem, however, is one thing. Fixing it properly is another.

Bigger Problem: Ottawa Drain Replacement a Must Due to Corroded Pipe

The family in question quickly called us to set up an appointment. When we arrived and assessed the situation for ourselves, we realized that the symptoms pointed to a bigger issue. Specifically, the leak was caused by a corroded pipe that needed to be replaced.

Solution Provider: Dr. Pipe Called in for Drain Replacement

We had a prior relationship with this particular client. Over the past 10 years, he used our services for major jobs. This included replacing lead water lines in his front yard and installing a critical backwater valve under his house. What this did was prevent flooding during heavy rains.

Drain Relining Project

If you experience low water pressure when you turn on the tap, the problem could be a damaged pipe that requires Ottawa drain relining. But leave the guesswork out of it. You need a professional plumber to assess the matter, determine the problem, and rectify the situation. 

At Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services, we’re the first option for many Ottawa homeowners. In one situation where a homeowner had low water pressure, we scheduled a visit, inspected the pipes and drains with a drain camera, detected a serious root intrusion that had caused extensive damage, and repaired the damage with PVC reinforcement liner. Here’s a closer look.

Issue: Low Water Pressure Required Drain Relining in Ottawa

When Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services received a phone call from a worried homeowner, we send one of our plumbers. Low water pressure was the problem, but what was the cause?

Problem: Ottawa Drain Relining Necessary After Tree Roots Damaged Drain

One of our professional plumbers used a drain camera to assess the condition of the pipes. Discovering that tree roots had damaged the drain, he presented options to the homeowner.   

Solution Provider: Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services Does Drain Relining in Ottawa

The homeowner received two quotes, one of which was from Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services. We got the job because our team used their instruments to investigate the problem. This allows us to show the homeowner what was wrong with the drain in real-time. The other vendor did not thoroughly investigate the issue before providing an estimate. Because of this, the homeowner was worried about possible “unexpected” extra costs from the other vendor.

Solution: Drain Relining for Ottawa Homeowner

After assessing the situation and considering the various options, we decided to reline the damaged part of the drain with PVC reinforcement liner. We used a trenchless repair method that did not require digging up the yard to access the damaged drain. This saved the homeowner time and money since they did not have to redo their lawn.

Building Trap Replacement Project

When there’s a problem with your building trap, you need a plumber who is experienced at getting to the root of the issue and handling building trap replacement in Ottawa.

A building trap is connected to the primary drain of a home’s sewer system, and its purpose is to prevent sewage gases and water from getting indoors. When they malfunction, it’s critical to remedy the situation right away. Here’s a look at a building trap project we recently completed.

Problem: Root Intrusion and Old Pipes

The problem stemmed from an old pipe that had collapsed due to root intrusion. Trees can help to beautify a property, offer shade, and even provide food if it’s a fruit-bearing variety, but it’s best not to plant trees too close to home. The reason is that the root systems will spread underground over time, and this could eventually damage underground infrastructure. If the root system extends to the plumbing system, the result could be collapsed pipes and building traps.
