Sewer Line Repair and Inspections

If you want cleaner pipes, have a stubborn clog, or want to prevent plumbing issues, your plumbing system may benefit from professional hydrojetting in Tucson. This revolutionary cleaning method uses an advanced water-based system to naturally and effectively clean plumbing pipes for preventative and prescriptive purposes. It's environmentally friendly, beneficial for your entire plumbing system, and will give you peace of mind about your home and pipes. Hydrojetting in Tucson: A Revolutionary Cleaning Method Hydrojetting is a form of drain cleaning that's key to treating and preventing clogs. Over time, foreign objects, debris, hair, grease, and other types of buildup can accumulate within your plumbing pipes and create blockages or clogs that prevent water from flowing through freely. When this occurs, your entire home can be affected; the clog can become so severe that your main drain line no longer functions as it should, and your whole system is rendered inoperable. That's where professional hydrojetting comes in. This unique plumbing service utilizes high-pressure water jets to clear and clean your pipes, eliminating grease, tree roots, mineral deposits, and anything else preventing water from freely flowing through them as designed. What Are the Benefits of Hydrojetting? First and foremost, this service effectively cleans your pipes and removes any buildup, bacteria, and debris contributing to a clog or increasing the likelihood of one. It can also help prevent future clogs, so you don't have to deal with plumbing issues and the associated costs. Hydrojetting is also an effective solution for a pipe with a blockage that won't respond to traditional methods like plunging or plumbing snakes. It's also a preventative treatment that can keep your pipes in optimal condition and extend their longevity so you don't need to replace them sooner than necessary or spend money on costly plumbing repairs. Hydrojetting Versus Other Pipe Cleaning Methods Hydrojetting is superior to other pipe cleaning solutions because it doesn't negatively impact the environment, can extend the longevity of plumbing pipes, and can clean them to remove buildup without putting them at risk. Some plumbing tools and solutions designed to clear clogs cause harm to the environment, specifically those that use harsh chemicals to break down clogs. These harsh chemicals can also infiltrate your home, polluting your internal air quality. Hydrojetting is eco-friendly because the system relies on a powerful jet stream of water to clear pipes without negatively impacting your internal or external environment. Additionally, because the device uses a powerful stream of water, it can accomplish the most work without damaging the pipes or increasing the risk of other issues. Whether you're dealing with a stubborn clog or you want to prevent one so that you can feel confident about the state of your plumbing system and can prevent the need for costly plumbing repairs and inconveniences, we can help. Our team is committed to providing quality, eco-friendly service to all our customers. Contact us today at Economy Plumbing Service LLC in Tucson, AZ, to schedule an appointment.

A major pipe burst can flood your Tucson, AZ home in minutes. Stay calm, act fast, and call an emergency plumber once you've stopped the flow. How to Deal With a Major Pipe Burst, Fast Protect Your Family If you've got small children or pets nearby, get them out of the affected area right away. Either the water itself or an electrical issue could endanger them, and they won't know how to stay out of your way or keep themselves safe. Shut Off the Water Head straight to your home's main shutoff valve: don't worry about assessing the damage or grabbing any belongings yet. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops. In most homes this valve is in the basement near the water heater, by the front foundation wall, or where the main line enters from the street. Turn Off the Electricity If the burst is near any outlets, lights, or appliances, turn off power to those areas at your breaker box. Only do this if you can reach the panel safely without stepping in deep water. If it feels risky, leave it alone and wait for help. Drain Remaining Water from the Pipes With the main water supply off, open all the cold-water faucets in the house and flush the toilets once. This relieves pressure and empties the lines so there's less water to keep spraying from the burst spot. Leave the faucets open until the flow slows to a drip. Document Everything Before Cleanup Get photos and videos of the damage right after you've stopped the water. You'll want evidence of the burst pipe, your wet floors, any affected walls and furniture, and damage to any belongings. You will need this for your insurance claim later, and the insurance companies will need proof that the damage came from this burst pipe rather than something else. Move Belongings and Contain the Water Lift rugs and move electronics, furniture, and important papers out of the wet zone. If the water is spreading, roll up towels or use plastic sheeting to block doorways and keep it from reaching other rooms. Work fast but safely. Don't carry heavy, soaked items if they're too heavy for you, and focus on irreplaceable items first, like photos, electronics, and documents. Call a Tucson, AZ Emergency Plumber Don't wait if water is involved, because every minute you lose is another minute for mold to grow or a new problem to develop.  A good emergency plumber can isolate the problem, make a temporary repair if it's after hours, and plan for a permanent fix as soon as possible while coordinating with a restoration team. Start Removing Standing Water While you wait for the plumber, use mops, towels, a wet/dry vacuum, or buckets to get water off the floor. The faster you remove it, the less it soaks into subfloors or walls. Open the windows and run fans to improve airflow if the weather allows. Your aim is getting the area as dry as possible. You've got this. Act fast, and call us at Economy Plumbing Service, LLC at 520-885-3510 for the best emergency plumbing service in Tucson.

We rely on our gas lines in Tucson to heat our homes, give us instant hot water, power our stoves, and more. Keeping your gas line safe is a serious responsibility, because the dangers of a problem in the gas line can be deadly. Here's some warning signs to look out for. Warning Signs That Gas Lines in Tucson Are in Trouble Emergency Signs Some warning signs are emergencies, and you cannot ignore them. Call your gas provider or emergency services and leave the area immediately if: You smell a sulfurous odor in or immediately around your house People in the house are suddenly and inexplicably experiencing headaches, dizziness, nausea, or shortness of breath If gas is escaping into the house, it can cause you and your family serious physical harm. The gas, as you breathe it, begins to displace the oxygen in your blood. You gradually asphyxiate or suffocate if you are exposed to too much for too long. Non-Emergency There are other warning signs that are less immediately serious, but you need to pay attention to them, regardless, as they could quickly turn serious: Corrosion Always inspect your pipes regularly, and if you see rust or other corrosion on them, be sure to call a qualified contractor right away. There may also be an issue if you notice flaking or bubbling of paint near your gas lines or a lot of dampness and residue around the fittings. A professional can seal joints and even replace a bad section of pipe if needed. Hissing If you hear hissing near a gas appliance or a meter, it likely means that gas is escaping. Even a little bit of a leak can increase your bills, of course, and indoors, it can create a very dangerous condition. Contact a professional contractor right away to take a look. If it's a single appliance, turn off the gas to that appliance. Bigger Bills If your habits haven't really changed, but the cost of your gas bill keeps going up, try turning off all your gas appliances and writing down the meter reading. Then, wait for an hour or two and check the meter again. If it has gone up, you have a leak. Low Pressure If the flame on your stove or in your furnace doesn't have the power it should have, then you could have a leak somewhere in the line leading to that appliance, or there could be a blockage. There also could be a faulty regulator in the appliance itself or corrosion in the piping. If several appliances seem to be affected, then the issue could be farther down the line and could be either your responsibility or something that your utility company needs to deal with. A contractor can investigate the situation and help you figure out what's going on. If you're noticing any issues with your gas line, schedule an appointment with us at Economy Plumbing Service LLC in Tucson or call us 24/7 at 520-885-3510.
