Sometimes, drain cleaning is not enough to solve a plumbing issue. Some situations call for a full drain replacement.
At Arnold & Sons, we have provided Peoria residents with reliable drain replacement services for many years. Read on to learn about common drain issues that can be addressed through drain replacement.
Signs You May Need Drain Replacement
Drain issues are easy to brush off–until a serious problem occurs. Here are some common signs that you need drain replacement:
- Lush, Green, or Damp Lawn Patches: Unusually lush or damp areas of your lawn may indicate a leaking underground drain pipe.
- Slow or Backed-Up Drains: If your drains are slow or frequently backed-up, you might have a serious drain issue.
- Gurgling Sounds: Frequent gurgling noises from your toilet suggest trapped air in the drain line (likely due to obstruction or damage).
- Sewer Gas Odors: The unmistakable odor of sewer gasses clearly indicates a drainage problem.
- Foundation Cracks: Cracks appearing in your foundation can be a sign of underlying drainage issues affecting the structural integrity of your home.
Drain repairs are sometimes enough to address these issues. We will help you determine if you need drain repairs or drain replacement.
Issues that Require Shower Drain Replacement
Bathtub and shower drains are prone to several issues that may require replacement, including:
- Hair and Soap Scum: Hair and soap scum can form a sticky, tangled mass that clogs the pipes.
- Personal Care Products: Bath oils and other products can contribute to blockages over time.
- Mineral Deposits: Hard water can leave mineral deposits that restrict water flow and cause blockages.
Our team addresses these issues by thoroughly inspecting the drain, removing blockages, and replacing damaged pipes with high-quality materials to ensure long-term functionality.
Issues that Require Sink Drain Replacement
Sink drains are susceptible to several problems:
- Food Particles: Kitchen sinks often get clogged with food particles and soap scum.
- Grease Buildup: Grease can solidify inside the pipes, causing severe blockages.
- Hair and Toothpaste: Bathroom sinks frequently clog because of hair and toothpaste residue.
- Pipe Damage: Corroded or cracked pipes can lead to leaks and inefficient drainage.
Our plumbers will inspect and clean your sink drains, replacing any damaged parts to ensure smooth water flow and prevent future issues.
