Our Broken Pipe Repair Process
Here is a breakdown of our broken pipe repair process so you know what to expect:
- Shut-Off Water Pipes: After talking with you to find the general location of the problem, our first step is to find the shut-off valves for any water that might go through to that drain.
- Inspection & Diagnosis: Then, we must detect leaks and find the root cause. How was the pipe damaged? Was it unsecured, corroded, bumped, or frozen?
- Repair Options & Transparent Pricing: Weโll then give you upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect when it comes time to pay the bill. Weโll explain your different repair options as well as the benefits of going one way or the other and what that work will entail.
- Efficient Repairs: We then repair the pipe, which involves getting access to either end of the damaged pipe, making a cut, and then connecting the new pipe piece to the rest of the pipe.
- Clean Up: Our plumbers then clean up after themselves, tidying their work area.
Whether you have a burst water pipe or a leaking drain, the expert plumbers at Apollo Home can fix it. Schedule an appointment with us today!
Preventing Broken Pipes
You can help prevent broken pipes and minimize water damage by taking a few precautions:
- Insulate Pipes: Ensure any pipes close to the exterior of your home are well insulated. Preparing your home for winter will help protect your pipes from the cold and prevent bursting from expanding frozen water.
- Secure Piping: Pipes should be secured to walls and joists to prevent too much movement. Pipes can be damaged when bumped, moved, or put under strain. If you hear rattling when you turn on the water, this is likely unsecured piping moving around. The water pressure can also damage piping if it is not secured properly.
- Know Where the Shut-Off Valves Are: If your pipes do get damaged and start to leak, it is important to know where your shut-off valves are located. The handle of a shut-off valve can look like either a flat lever that you turn 90 degrees, a round handle you turn clockwise to close, or a T-shaped handle that you turn 90 degrees to close. Try looking in these locations:
- Main Shut Off
- Sink Faucet
- Shower
- Outdoor Spigot
If you need help protecting your plumbing system, Apollo Homeโs expert plumbers are happy to help. We can insulate your vulnerable pipes, ensure they are secured to the wall, and show you where all the shut-off valves are and how to operate them.
