Installation Services Required for Chicago Home
The team found a two-inch drain line leaking in the basement. The problem was, there was no clean-out access and the drain line was connected using epoxy glue and rubber couplings. Clean-out access in plumbing refers to designated openings or access points that allow for easy maintenance, inspection, and clearing of blockages within the plumbing system.
The absence of clean-out access, along with the drain line being connected using epoxy glue and rubber couplings, led to a leak.
Connecting a drain line with epoxy glue and rubber couplings is not advised due to potential issues with the reliability and longevity of the seal, as well as the potential for breakdown and leaks over time. Additionally, the drain line was clogged, causing issues with the exterior catch basin.
An exterior catch basin is essential because it collects and diverts excess rainwater or drainage from the property, preventing flooding or water damage.
Successful Installation from Plumbing Business
The next day, the plumber came back and got to work by starting to remove the section of the leaking drain line. The licensed plumber installed a new pipe drain line with a new clean-out access. After that, the plumber performed some drain cleaning services to fix the blockage.
Once the clog was resolved, the plumber used a sewer camera to inspect the drain line from the newly installed clean-out access to the exterior catch basin. The camera inspection showed the drain line was clear. So, all the leaks and the blockage were taken care of with emergency plumbing and quality workmanship.
