Snaking

Plumbers will often choose to snake the sewer line first, snaking is an excellent way to clear a soft stoppage or free a small blockage in the line. There are many ways and many snakes to snake a drain line.

Clearing a tub drain stoppage is done with a small snake one we like to call the baby snake. Using the baby snake with a 25-foot cable you can clear the clogged drain through the overflow in the tub.

Clogged kitchen sink drain? Clogged bathroom sink drain? No problem, often a clogged bathroom sink drain can be cleared with a top snake and only takes a few minutes to free the line and clear the clogged drain. If that doesn’t work, then the clogged sink has a stoppage farther down the line. No need to worry though these clogged drains can be cleared by pulling the p-trap and using a bit larger snake we like to call the Jr. snake. Once the p-trap is pulled you can use a 50-foot cable to reach the stoppage and clear the clogged drain. We use the same Jr. snake to clear a kitchen sink drain but always try to use a clean-out. There is usually a clean-out located on the outside wall of the kitchen, if not then we pull the p-trap under the kitchen sink and snake from there to clear the line.

Descaling (Picoting)

Lining

Your sewer and water lines that run in and out of your home are extremely important, but they eventually wear out and become damaged. In the past, this meant you would have to dig up your yard, pull out the old pipes, and place in new ones—a process that took days or weeks, tearing up your property. Today, homeowners have a new, better option available that saves money and fixes the problem economically: CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) relining.

WHY RE-LINE YOUR PLUMBING PIPES RATHER THAN REPLACE THEM?

Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) relining is a simple yet effective way to fix your sewer line by using the piping already installed and simply sealing it off using a liquid sleeve epoxy solution. All you need is a small hole in the ground for our machines to access the damaged or broken pipes. The result is essentially a brand-new pipe inside of the old one, extending the life of the system while saving time and money.

Boring

Boring

Advantages of trenchless pipe installation technology

1. It is eco-friendly The device is designed to minimize damage caused by excavating the soil. The mechanism used ensures that disturbance will be minimal, so all you’ll see around your property are results- not hassle!
2. It is quicker. The method is a time-saving and soil-preserving alternative to traditional methods. The pipes are laid as boring continues, reducing the amount of work that needs to be done for them to connect with one another or their destinations on site.

3. Saves on space With trenching, space must be created where the trenches will be dug. Pipe boring, on the other hand, can be done even under existing sidewalks and patios. It is a very economical process.
4. No need to relocate people while installing the pipe In contrast to traditional methods, boring only affects a small area and does not cause significant damage. This means that people in your neighborhood will not have their lives disrupted by construction equipment or other disruptors on site.
5. It is easier to rehabilitate the area. Areas, where trenches are dug, may take months to be restructured. This is not the case with pipe boring. Within a few days or weeks, the area can be back to normal.
6. It is very accurate. The high levels of accuracy attainable with this method make it a popular choice for those who need to ensure a perfect fit.

Pipe Bursting

A trenchless pipe replacement as an alternative to sewer lining is the pipe bursting process. While sewer lining is an excellent option, pipe bursting gives you a brand-new sewer line. This involves creating small entry and exit points above ground, pushing / bursting away the old sewer line and installing a new sewer line at the same time.

Copper & PEX Re-Pipe

What is a Whole House Re-pipe?

When Crandall’s Plumbing Heating & AC quotes a whole house Re-pipe, we start at the main water shut off and replace all hot and cold-water lines for the entire home to the angle stops, hose bibs throughout the house, and connect to all shower valves.

Copper is the most common metal used today for plumbing pipes, and it has been in everyday use from the 1970s onwards. Copper pipes will usually last for around 50 years.

Uponor PEX pipe is not only cheaper than copper but more durable too. Uponor PEX is immune to corrosion and mineral build-up. Uponor PEX is not affected by electrolysis, which can cause small pinhole leaks in copper piping.

While copper is an excellent material, no material is perfect. You can develop some problems with your copper pipes, and Uponor PEX is often a great replacement that can eliminate these problems. Keep hot water hot. Uponor PEX keeps the water warmer as it flows through the pipe so that you get hotter water on the other end; in most cases, when we re-pipe a house with Uponor PEX, you will also get an increase in water volume.

Pipe Leak Detection and Repair

At Crandall's Plumbing Heating & AC, we specialize in plumbing rerouting services. Plumbing rerouting involves finding a new entry and exit point for your pipes and then re-piping from that location. This approach is ideal for dealing with leaky pipes that run under the slabs of your home, as it allows us to cut these problematic pipes from the system. The location where we reroute your lines depends on several factors, such as the size of your home or local building codes. With over 13 years of experience serving clients throughout Orange County, we have established strong relationships with our growing customer base. Our reputation for high-quality work is well known throughout Huntington Beach and the surrounding cities. Whether you need essential plumbing services or more specialized solutions, trust the experts at Crandalls!

Our electronic leak detection and pressure testing systems will keep you safe.  These systems are the best methods for locating and isolating gas leaks underground.

Detecting slab leaks is your first task before you can address the problem at hand. Slab leaks occur when the pipes under your home burst, allowing water or gas to leak under your floor. If you notice any common symptoms, then calling a Professional Plumbing company like Crandall’s Plumbing Heating & A/C should be your next move. Once our slab leak detection technician has pinpointed the leak, we will immediately provide an estimate for repairs. If the entire line underground is compromised, we re-route the water line in question, ensuring we eliminate the possibility of any future leaks underground on that line.
