Atlanta Plumbing Leak Repair Sewer Lines

If you are looking for sewer line repairs, then Plumbing Leak can help in the Atlanta area. During a sewer line replacement, many tasks must be performed in order to ensure a properly-flowing, problem free line for many years to come. There is far more to sewer line replacement than simply digging up your yard and ripping out the old piping. If certain precautions are not taken, even a new sewer line can present problems in the years to come, often leading to more costly repairs and warranty calls. We employ only the most experienced and professional sewer line experts, therefore eliminating any need for worry after your installation.

Two things that are done at the end of each installation by Plumbing Leak, are the pipe must be sloped properly, and it must be bedded in. Sloping the pipe refers to giving the sewer line enough angle, or fall, to facilitate proper drainage and flow. The code requirement is 1/8" of slope per every foot of 3-4" sewer line. This is only the minimum, however, and more slope is never a bad thing. Bedding in the sewer line consists of placing hard material or substrate beneath the completed sewer piping to ensure that it does not bend, or belly, over time. A belly is a dip in part of the sewer line, allowing water and waste to collect in the lower part, causing blockages. Bedding in the sewer line is an extremely important part of the complete installation, and is often overlooked. The material used can be gravel, hard earth, sand, or any other material that will support the weight of not only the sewer line itself, but also all of the earth above it to the surface. Bellies are common problems in sewers that have not been bedded properly.

If all these procedures are followed correctly, you will be left with a quality sewer line that will last for decades to come. We guarantee a top-level installation conforming to these regulations, and back it all with a 5-year warranty. Contact Plumbing Leak in Atlanta today for your sewer line treatment today.
