A Cape Coral plumber can be called upon to deal with the installation and repair of water, waste and any other plumbing system. There is a wide range of plumbing services that are available; the more common services include emergency leak detection, the unclogging of drains and sewers and the replacement of water heaters, garbage disposals, etc. Plumbers have the proper equipment to remove tree roots that have grown into drains and reroute pipes. Many plumbers offer 24 hour emergency service but it is typically more expensive that routine services that are provided during the day.
It is not uncommon for a homeowner to see a noticeable increase in the water consumption; this can often be traced back to a faulty meter or a leak. Finding a water leak can be quite time consuming if it is buried behind a wall or under a floor. A Cape Coral plumber provides services to clear blocked drains of food, hair, soap scum and foreign objects. The plumber has tools at his disposal that makes this task quite straight forward; tools such as rooters, snakes and hydro jets are often used.
A rooter is a plumber’s tool that consists of blades which are located on cables, the cable turns and the blades turn with it. For less difficult clogs the plumber will often turn to a plumbers snake, it works similar to a rooter but is manually powered and comes in different diameters and lengths depending on the location of the blockage. Some plumbers have cameras that they introduce into the pipe to give them an accurate fix on the location and magnitude of the clog. Hydro-jetting is the use of high pressure water to basically blast the clog free and flush it into the main sewer.
Water heater replacement is often done on an emergency basis and often is the most common problem when an emergency call-out is made. Replacing a water heater is a specialized service that is best left to a professional Cape Coral plumber, water heater installation must comply with specific building codes as there is a potential of a serious problem if done incorrectly.
If the plumber finds that tree roots have grown into the sewer pipe it may be better to reroute the pipe that to attempt to clear the roots. Rerouting is also often done when the homeowner is making a major renovation to the bathroom or kitchen which involves relocating the fixtures.
