Drainage System | Plumbing Arlington

The drain pipes and sewer line are an essential component of your homes plumbing in Arlington carrying waste away from the home. By providing periodic cleaning of the home’s drainage system, it will function efficiently, avoiding most drain clogs, sewer back-up and a great deal of frustration.

Unfortunately, homeowners may face the issue of drain and/or sewer line replacement when drain cleaning alone will not restore flow to damaged or aged pipes. The following are some indications that drain and/or the sewer pipe will require replacement:

• Outdated and Aged Pipes: Older homes may have drains made of galvanized pipe which means corrosion is likely. Replacing of failing pipes with modern materials will restore the efficient drainage your home’s plumbing in Arlington requires.
• Tree Root Infiltration: When tree root infiltration damages the sewer pipe, replacement of the damaged section will be required. If the existing pipe is clay or other outdated pipe materials replacement of the entire sewer line will be the wisest decision. Roots seek out a source of water, and a sewer line is a convenient target. Tree roots infiltrate the pipes through weak points, such as leaking joints. While in many cases, a plumber may be able to clear the roots from the pipe, an aged sewer line may be fragile and unable to withstand the process. Pipes in a deteriorated state should be replaced with modern plumbing in Arlington.
• Leaks: Frequent leaks may indicate deteriorated and aging or poorly installed drain pipes or sewer line. Leaking sewage poses obvious health hazards to you, your neighbors and the water table, including nearby lakes, streams and rivers. Sewer leaks require immediate replacement of leaking plumbing in Arlington by a qualified and licensed plumber.

Drain Issues

Gurgling Drain

If your drain(s) are making unusual noises it may be a warning of potential drainage problems. A common cause of a gurgling and bubbling drain is a clog. Try the proper use of a plunger before calling for the services of a plumber in Arlington. If a plunger doesn’t clear the clog it is time to call the plumber.

A blocked drain vent can cause a gurgling drain. Drain vents are designed to allow for the release of sewer gas through pipes to the roof. The vents can become blocked because of animal nests and debris such as leaves.

Signs of a Clogged Drain or Sewer Line

• Slow drains progressing to no drainage.
• Plumbing gurgle (occurs when an appliance such as a washing machine empties, and water bubbles up from a nearby drain).
• Sewage backup.
• Leaking drains or water pooling on the lawn over the area of a sewer line.
