Sewer Repair 411-
A Consumer Quick-Start Quide
For about
20 years plumbers installed polybutylene
pipe, which was once considered cost-effective and seemed to be
very durable. As time passed, Chlorine (Cl) was added to our domestic
water supply and in turn broke this material down.
Problems with
leaks led to a class action lawsuit, Cox vs. Shell Oil, that was
settled for one billion dollars. For more info see the Consumer
Plumbing Recovery Center.
Atlanta water and sewer
supply systems build up pressure with higher psi during the times
that usage is low (e.g., at night). As the psi rises at night or
during times of low usage, the polybutylene material eventually can
not withstand the pressure due to the sewer
lines
being broken down by the Chroline, causing
small holes in the polybutylene.
This causes
leaks. It takes a special kind of dedication on the part of the
repairman to identify these kinds of leaks. It also takes a dedicated
contractor- one who is not bound by a franchise- to accurately and
honestly identify and correct.
 Tip:
Choose a Sewer Repair Contractor
who is not bound by a franchise. Many of the so-called
"Rooter" plumbers work on a commision basis and routinely
charge hundreds -or even thousands- more than otherwise fully
licensed, experienced and fully capable independent Sewer Contractors.
Sewer
Repair is serious business that is best performed by
qualified engineers who understand plumbing mechanics through
experience and who personally enjoy the unique challenges that hard-to-fix
sewer repairs present.
Sewer
Repair can be very expensive, especially if done wrong. It is
therefore paramount
to make the distinction between General Plumbing Contractors rather
than those who are
Licensed Sewer Line Contractors GA.
It
is important to remember some Licensed Atlanta Plumbers
are in the industry solely for money- while
a select few Licensed Sewer Repair Contractors GA are dedicated to
Sewerline Repairs.
 Info: Sewer
Repair Plumbers in Georgia are required to obtain a License by
passing a series of exams- and thereafter maintain Licensed Plumber
status by fulfilling CLE requirements. Insist on verifying license
status BEFORE agreeing to any repairs. The State of Georgia has a
free online service for verifying you are hiring a Licensed and
Insured Plumber Here.
Tip:
Look for a plumber with Proper Equipment- NOT a shiny logo. Ask for
references.
Try
to determine if you have found a Qualified Sewer Repair Contractor
by asking questions. Plumbers usually enjoy sharing "success
stories" with customers and will be happy to answer any
questions you may have.
