    Roots in sewer pipe to main, Hydro-jet??

    I agree Totally, obviously they aren't using the Hydro Jetter properly or don't have a very good one!

    What to expect - Roots in the Drain

    Hi Litleclay, not sure who told you that the water would go right back into neighbours drains but this is false. Or should I say in 99% of cases this shouldn't happen especially if the company knows their stuff. Not sure what you mean by Pipe Lining only repairing up to the T section but any...

    What to expect - Roots in the Drain

    Companies will charge different prices and also have different Guarantees. For instance we offer 20 years and have been Lining for over 20 years. I do disagree, there is no evidence that it is worse nor doesn't last as long as replacing in PVC. Here in Sydney Australia the PVC we use is not as...

    Bad liner mix

    Thanks, and I can't speak highly enough of it. Really saves the customer money and more importantly -time. Our hardest task is trying to let customers know there is an alternative to digging and replacing and in most cases more economical. Unfortunately, Plumbers here either haven't heard of...

    What to expect - Roots in the Drain

    Lining can be used on a "T" Junction and beyond and if you are afraid of the water backing up into the neighbours(obviously the pipe doesn't run down), then get their permission and Jet from their access. or just keep Eeling and use the Root X (we do not advise this sort of method -...

    Roots in sewer pipe to main, Hydro-jet??

    You can Patch line it where the problem areas are, but eventually the whole pipe will need to be replace and in answer to Drainit comment - if you "Line" the pipe and it is done properly (by a company that has over 10yrs exp) then it will last in his lifetime anyway. The product has at least a...

    Bad liner mix

    Hi, we've been Lining pipes for over 20 years and trust me it takes years to perfect. Even now we sometimes hit obstacles but thankfully very minimal. There are many suppliers now out there. I would suggest investigating them all. Good luck

    What to expect - Roots in the Drain

    A High Pressure Water jet usually gets a better result in removing the roots. ALL the roots should be cleaned out if done by a Professional company that focus's only on unblocking drains and repairiing them. If the plumber puts a camera down the pipe they should give you a copy. In some cases...

    Dirt in sewer cleanout

    Yes I recommend you hire a company which specialises in blocked drains and carry High Pressure Waterjets, cameras to clean and advise you on the best way to repair since you will have cracked and collapsed pipes no doubt.

    Under-slab sewer leak

    Definitely go with the $300 guy, you will not find many Plumbers who will not charge for fee to do this. Clarify with the plumber that the only charge for finding the problem is only $300 (so no labour, tax on top). Then make sure they put it in writing. Also before he commences ask him if you...

    Under-slab sewer leak

    Oh and yes - it is possible to LINE a pipe that is PVC - any type of pipe depending on the diameter. Also, if you have 2 access points then your floor will not have to be dug up if you choose PipeLining, however we are in Sydney, Australia so not sure on the quality of your 'Lining' Companies...

    Under-slab sewer leak

    I agree with everything this guy says except the part about the cost of Ads. As a small company (10 employees) we pay BIG $$$ads so we can create awareness and beat the shonks out there. BIG $$ads also mean that the company have the resources to fix any problems that they may incur. "YOU GET...
