A leaking outdoor spigot or an underground water leak?

Have you ever noticed an outdoor leaking spigot? Most of the time it could be just a simple leak. Other times, it ends up being a much bigger issue. How were our technicians able to tell that there was much more to this than a leaking outdoor spigot?  When our technician checked the spigot, he couldn’t find an issue such as a broken part or a leak. Upon further investigation he heard rushing water echoing in the basement of this home. The leak turned out to be a 4ft deep water leak at the foundation. As you can see in the pictures it took quite a bit of digging to repair the leak, but our technicians are always up for the challenge.

Additions, Additions, Additions…

Sometimes we just want to add space. Maybe it’s because of a young growing family, or because we combined families, or maybe it is time to bring the elderly family members home. Either way, it often times means adding an additional room or two. And perhaps even a bathroom.

In this case, we are helping to add a master bedroom and bathroom, creating Master Suite. This addition, required also installing a lift station, due to the grade of the sewer being higher than the addition. But, we’re here to help make it happen.

This is just the underground rough. But as you can see, once the grass grows back, it will be like it was always here. We even avoided a plant that was ultimately in the way, but the homeowner wanted to save. That’s who we are. This is why folks trust us to do the job. This is what we do. And we leave it better than we found it. <3

Keep watching for more updates on this project. We are partnered with JKL Construction on this one.

It’s a Dirty Job…

…And we’re here to do it.

Water line breaks can create quite a mess.
You are almost always going to get dirty to some extent, if not just flat out muddy. But our guys are up for the challenge and we do appreciate them.

This leak ended up being much more involved than we anticipated. We could have used to have equipment on hand. But our guys got right into it. And one of them even left literally covered in mud, and with a wet seat to boot.

Water Heater Maintenance

Is having your water heater inspected yearly important? The answer is: yes! It’s important to have your water heater inspected and flushed yearly, especially tankless water heaters. Why is this important? Age and moisture over time can cause corrosion. What issues can moisture corrosion cause? Moisture corrosion can cause several different issues; one being water leaks. Leaks/flooding can cause further damage to your home especially if your water heater is in an attic or in another area of your home. Hot water failure as well as electrical fires can be caused by moisture corrosion. Gas water heaters should also be checked yearly to ensure proper ventilation. Proper ventilation is a must to ensure that you avoid possible carbon monoxide from entering your home. Take a look at the photos below. These are examples of water heaters that have corroded or have started leaking. Call our office at 704-857-1600 to schedule your yearly water heater maintenance.

Old Sewer Lines Create Sewer Backups

Some older homes still have red terra cotta clay tile piping for their sewer drain system. This can create quite a problem as the piping deteriorates with age. Also, with so many joints, it leaves gaps for roots to grow in continuously. This home had just such a case. Just about every joint on this clay sewer line was filled with invading roots. Thankfully, we now have products like PVC piping that has a lifespan of up to 100 years!!

That’s exactly what this customer received. A new PVC sewer line. Problem free for years to come!

Corrosive Water & Your Water Lines

Do the water lines in your home look like the ones in the photos below? If they do, your water has corrosive properties and the PH is probably off. You definitely need to address the problem by installing a filtration system that will neutralize the water. You also need to replace the already corroded piping in your home.

Here at Cain’s Able Plumbing, we can address this issue for you. We can replace all the water lines in the home, and we can install a filtration system to prevent this from being a problem in the future. Give us a call at 704-857-1600 or 336-351-1602, to schedule your evaluation appointment today.
