What Kinds of Plumbing Issues Cannot be Fixed by a DIYer?

Many plumbing issues can be resolved using basic tools and instruction. Unclogging kitchen and bathroom sinks for instance, is usually easy with a plunger or chemical pest, and may even only require hot water. Other jobs, however, such as broken pipes, sewer repairs or poor water pressure, are difficult to repair, and often require a trained professional to get the job done right.

What Steps Should Property Owners Take to Prepare for Plumbing Repair?

Before any repair is conducted, property owners should take the following steps:

• Be aware of the location of the trap and main shutoff valve.

• Clear a working space for the repair, such as a garage or driveway.

• Bring in digital photos of the plumbing concern so the plumber can assess the damage.

• Clear out any clogged drainage or pipes.

• Have a clear list of expectations and objectives that need to be addressed.

What Technologies Are Used To Diagnose Plumbing Concerns?

At Abacus, we use a variety of technologies to diagnose plumbing concerns including closed-circuit television inspection (CCTV), sewer line camera inspections, smoky and dye testing, and reticulation testing. These tools allow us to accurately locate and diagnose complex plumbing problems, working with minimal disruption to property and landscaping.

If a Plumber Needs to Cut Into Drywall or Partition, Is This Part of the Service?

Yes. Depending on the severity of the plumbing issue, Abacus technicians may need to do some minor cutting and patching to assess and repair your pipes. In most cases, these cuts are small and efficient, and do not require a complete replacement of the wall or partition.

How Long Can I Expect a Plumbing Repair to Take?

The length of time required for a plumbing repair will depend on the severity and complexity of the issue, as well as the number of renovations, materials, and procedures needed to complete the work. On average, a typical repair can take anywhere from 2-4 hours, however more in-depth repairs may take longer.
