Having general knowledge of how your plumbing system works will help you to diagnose a problem and understand something about what caused it. Some common services you may need from a licensed plumbing company are these:

Burst Pipe Repair

While there are many potential reasons for a pipe to suffer stress which would result in bursting flood damage, a break is usually due to one of these situations:

• Pipe Movement – unsecured pipes often vibrate and move when water is either turned on or off
• High water pressure – the pressure in most homes should generally be at 30 – 50 psi; 60 psi and above is too high and can cause damage
• Pipe corrosion – even the best quality pipes can’t last forever; pipes will start to break down over time. This process will be accelerated if your water has an improper pH balance

A correct diagnosis of the cause of a burst pipe can help to prevent another burst in the future. Most burst pipes can be patched, but it’s simply a temporary fix. Eventually, a cracked or split section will need to be replaced with a new section of pipe. Contact the best Miami plumbers in Miami, at JMK Contractor, for all your pipe repair needs.

Drain Cleaning

If you happen to notice pools of water gathering around your drains, strange and foul odors near the kitchen sink and drains that seem to take forever to drain, you’ve found yourself with a clogged drain. Many clogs are minor and don’t require professional assistance. However, when the problem becomes too much to handle with a plunger, there are other methods:

• Augers (commonly known as drain snakes)
• Commercial chemical solutions
• Water Leak Detection – unlike a burst pipe, an underground or otherwise obscured leak can go undetected for quite a long time. Most pipes in your home are contained within the walls which makes it difficult to find the source of the problem. Even worse, when the pipes are underground you can’t possibly see what’s going on. This is when the time has come to call a professional plumber with special equipment for water leak detection. They can come to your home, pinpoint the exact area of the plumbing leak and do the necessary repairs.

Slab Leak Repair

Slab leaks will undoubtedly require professional assistance. They aren’t visibly noticeable and most likely you don’t have the equipment to find exactly where one could possibly be. When the pipes in either the water or sewer lines under your home break, crack or burst, that is considered a slab leak. It’s important to call a professional plumber when you suspect a possible slab leak. Here are the common signs:

• Hearing running water even when all the water has been turned off
• An abnormally high water bill caused by a spinning water meter when no water is even running
• The appearance of cracks in your walls or flooring
• Noticeable mildew or moisture under carpets or flooring
• Smell of sewage
• A newly developed bug problem due to increased ground moisture

Repiping

Full-home repiping is where all of the hot and cold water pipes in the entire home are removed and fully replaced. Understandably, thinking about the actual cost and your overall comfort during the process can be a bit daunting. However, we employ the best Miami plumbers who can will come out at a moments notice to help you with all your piping needs. There are several situations where repiping your home is necessary. Here are some of the signs:

• Your home is 50+ years old
• You notice rust and/or mineral build up in your water
• A pattern of multiple pipe leaks

Sewer Line Replacement

Much like the other plumbing problems that arise in the house, the same holds true for the sewer lines. Here are the signs that may lead you to call a professional to come out and get you squared away:

Broken Lines

Sewers can sometimes become cracked, punctured or collapsed due to shifting soil or the building settling. They can acquire a “belly” if compressed from above and pushed down which is then at risk of cracking or bursting. Here are some common reasons your sewer line might be at increased risk:

• Sewer Blockages – Foreign objects and grease buildup can often restrict or altogether prohibit proper water flow and cleaning of the sewer line.
• Leaking Joints – The seals between pipes can become decayed or broken over time.
• Tree Roots – Tree or shrub roots can grow through the sewer line.
• Badly made pipes – If the line was made of substandard or outdated material, it is more likely to get damaged.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

If you are in fact need of sewer repair, you can rest easy knowing the days of digging up your backyard like an excavation site are in the past. With trenchless sewer repair, a professional plumber can easily run a new pipe directly through an older one, so the only horizontal excavation necessary is for the holes at the beginning and end of the pipe.
Sewer Camera Inspection – to help diagnose the exact repairs needed, a sewer camera can be inserted into the pipe and will be able to detect: root intrusion or debris blockage, separated, cracked or leaking pipe joints, deteriorated pipes, and any other visible problems all the way from the street to the house.

Toilet Repair and Installation

If your toilet is broken, uncomfortable, outdated or just plain ugly, calling a professional plumber to replace or repair is always the smart move. The signs that indicate a broken toilet are similar to any other plumbing problems: leaking, constant running, foul odor, etc. In addition to providing a better bathroom experience, replacing or repairing your toilet can reduce your water usage by nearly one gallon per flush, which can drastically reduce water and waste costs.

Water Heater Installation and Repair

With water heaters being a central part of your plumbing system, it’s understandable that when it isn’t working it can cause quite a disruption to your entire household. While it’s possible to work your way through some of the minor water heater problems you may encounter, you’ll definitely want to call a professional plumber for major work. Some signs that your water heater needs repair are:

• Water leaking from the top or bottom
• No hot water or not enough hot water
• Water is too hot
• Water takes too long to reheat
• Low hot water pressure
• Dirty, rusty or smelly hot water

Shower and Tubs

If you have a particularly stubborn clog, plumbers have several specialized tools that can destroy clogs quickly. If you’re not able to do a DIY fix or the problem has become too severe, call a professional plumber out to quickly get everything back in working order.

Water Filtration Systems

If you find yourself questioning the quality of your water, a new filtration system might be necessary. There are two kinds of water filtration systems: point-of-use system and point-of-entry system. Point of use would generally be installed under the sink, while a point of entry system would be installed in a basement. A point of entry system will filter all water that comes into the house, while a point of use system is for a specific water supply.

Water Softener Installation

Calcium, magnesium, and certain other metals in your water would cause it to be “hard”. Water softening is when you remove the metal cations which can lead to limescale buildup and galvanic corrosion. Getting a water softener installed will make sure you have the right chemistry in your water supply and you won’t have to deal with the buildup in your shower head and sink fixtures.

Bathroom Remodeling

Since major renovations in bathrooms would involve water, it is always best to have a professional plumber involved. They will be able to assist with moving water supplies and creating an efficient design that saves water and keeps you clean and comfortable.

Backflow Testing and Certification

Backflow is the reversal of the flow of water in your home or when water mixes with other undesirable substances into the distribution pipes of the potable water system. What that means is that it’s possible for water pressures to change in a way that would cause the contents of your indoor system or irrigation system to leak back into the public water supply possibly carrying bacteria or other contaminants. Most homes will have a backflow preventer installed in their home plumbing, but it is possible for them to fail or wear out.
