ADP plumbing provides excellent drain services which include inspection, repair and maintenance of the drainage system. Blocked drains can lead to flooding and contamination of the plumbing system causing damage of the building. Thus drain repair should be done at the correct time by reliable plumbers. There are various methods of Toronto drain repair employed by ADP plumbing services, pipe bursting being the most effective one in cases where the entire pipe needs to be changed.

Pipe bursting involves fracturing of the damaged or the old pipe with the help of an expander head and pushing the fragments into the surrounding soil to make space for the new pipe that is inserted there after. Since it does not require digging of trenches throughout the pipeline, it is called “trench less pipe replacement technique”. The expander head applies radial force while it is made to move inside the old pipe. The force causes the pipe to crack and creates enough space for the new pipeline.

Drain repair through this system can be used depending on the soil condition that includes the type of soil, depth of water table and surface load. It is not a good method to be used in areas where there is very heavy traffic. Pipe bursting by the Scarborough plumber as a method of drain repair has recently come up as a reliable technique because it has certain advantages. First of all, it reduces the workload to replace the existing pipe as it does not involve digging of trenches. It requires only two holes- a “launching pit” and a “receiving pit”. As a result the land above the pipe can remain undisturbed and undamaged.

Secondly, larger pipes can be inserted in place of a smaller pipe. Pipes, up to 150% larger than the previous pipe can be installed. On the whole, drain repair by this method saves time and money and is thus very effective and useful.

In cases where replacement is not required, drain repair is done by the Toronto plumber with the help of drain snaking. Sometimes, grease, dust, hair or ant other particle can cause blockage in the pipes that can be easily removed by passing a snake like structure through the pipe.

Drain repair also include drain cleaning services that is done by passing a jet of water under high pressure through the pipe. This technique is mainly used in bath tub drains or to clear septic clogs.
