Pooling in your yard is one major sign that something is wrong. If there is a burst pipe underground, the water will collect on the ground above it. And if your home’s water is rusty or discolored, you should definitely give your trusted water and sewer system repair experts.

Another sign is poor water pressure. Have you been experiencing drops in water pressure? It might be time for a water pipe repair or replacement. Over time water pipes experience wear and tear such as corrosion that can impact your water pressure.

Has your water bill been higher than usual? This is another huge sign you may have a leak in your water line and require water pipe repair.

Leaks are a common issue with older pipes. The professionals at Gene’s Water and Sewer can inspect your water system and determine what repairs you may need.

It is important to note that there are a few different types of water pipe repair; the most popular being trenchless water pipe repair. The first step of trenchless water pipe repair is to completely clean the inside of the existing pipes you have. This is done with pipe line cameras and a specialized cleaning technique. The pipe lining inspection cameras are used to view the cause of the problem and the general condition inside of the pipes before we begin repairs. Trenchless water pipe repairs use “no dig” technology, which cuts down on costs and labor and how long the job takes to complete. During this process, joints are eliminated, which means the smoother pipe can increase flow. There is less of a service disruption to you, plus there is less destruction to your home’s landscape. We use a pneumatic tool or “hole hog” to pull the pipe into place. This minimizes the amount of digging, which can save customers from additional labor and provide the minimum amount of disruption of service.
