What We Check and Fix Inside the House

A drain pipe repair service Summerville SC homes rely on starts by proving where the water goes.

• Leak test: We fill and watch the line, run fixtures one at a time and note which one lets water escape.
• Camera look: A small camera follows the pipe through a cleanout or fixture opening and shows the split, loose joint or rotted spot.
• Repairs beneath the house: Where the pipe sits in open space under the floor, we replace the bad section and strap the line so it stays in place.
• Lining or reroute under the floor: When a break sits below concrete, we price a liner or a new path around it, so the floor may stay intact.
• New pipe joined to old: Repairs use PVC or ABS, joined to the old line with approved fittings.
• Water test after: We run the fixtures again and watch the line, so you know the leak is gone.

Why Drain Pipes Give Out Inside Homes

A drain failure usually has a story. These are the ones we find most.

• Old cast iron rotting from underneath: Waste sits along the bottom of the pipe, and that is where iron rusts through first.
• Damp air under the house: Warm, wet air keeps pipe, straps and fittings damp for months. Hangers rust and the line sags.
• Settling ground: Soil under a home shifts a little at a time, and pipes below the floor take the strain until a joint gives in time.
• Past DIY repairs: The wrong glue or a loose coupling often fails a year or two later.
• Moisture and wood damage near leaks: Long term dampness feeds rot and termites in nearby wood.
