Cracked Pipe Repair Services in Stafford & Stoke on Trent

Metro Rod Stoke know that sometimes it can be difficult to know what is happening within your drainage system. To help with this we want to provide a quick and easy guide on cracked pipes so you can arrange a repair as soon as possible. Drainage systems are not invincible which means over time they will be subjected to natural wear and tear, so its likely you may have to deal with a cracked pipe at some point. By knowing what to look for you can catch the problem early on and have it repaired before it becomes more serious.

What Causes a Pipe to Crack?

There are a few reasons why the pipes might crack, often due to the exposure of the elements, the ground and the waste they carry away.

One reason which will become more prevalent as we move into winter is the freezing and thawing of water in pipes. As the water freezes it will expand which can fracture the pipes, then when it starts to defrost the water will begin leaking out the pipes.

Tree roots are another problem as they can grow down and into the smallest cracks or joints of the pipes and continue to grow bigger until they end up splitting the pipes to make a bigger problem.

Often one crack can cause more cracks as the structure is compromised, so it is always a good idea to have your pipes checked out quickly if you think there might be a crack or leak.

Signs of a Cracked Pipe

With most of the pipes hidden behind walls and even underground it can be hard to know when you have a problem. However there should be some symptoms that you can notice in your property as the cracks will lead to leaks, so you should look out for:

• Damp walls or ceilings
• Foul smells
• Low water pressure
• Increased water bills

You should try and be aware of any changes happening around the home that may be caused from a cracked pipe so that you can have a professional check it out as soon as possible.

High Pressure Drain Jetting in Stafford & Stoke on Trent

High-pressure water jetting is the preferred method we use to unblock drains as it provides a long lasting solution to the problem. We spray highly pressurised water directly at what is causing the blockage within the confines of the drainage pipe, the power of the water then breaks up the mass into smaller pieces which can then be flushed through.

Electro-mechanical cleaning uses a rotating tool which is fed through the pipes and drains by one of our engineers, the tool rotates and breaks up the mass blocking the drain so that it can be pushed through clearing the pipe and drain.
