FAQs
What modern plumbing techniques do you use in Reliance homes?
Our team employs a range of cutting-edge methods, including trenchless pipe repair, hydro-jetting for drain cleaning, high-definition video pipe inspection, and smart water-monitoring devices. These techniques let us locate problems quickly, minimize digging or wall removal, and deliver repairs that last longer than conventional fixes—all while keeping disruption to your Reliance property to a minimum.
How does trenchless pipe repair work and is it suitable for my property in Reliance?
Trenchless repair allows us to rehabilitate or replace underground pipes without extensive excavation. Using small access points, we insert a flexible liner coated with epoxy or pull a new HDPE pipe through the damaged line. The method eliminates large trenches, protects landscaping, and typically takes less than a day. Most clay, cast-iron, and PVC sewer lines in Reliance qualify, and we confirm suitability with a video inspection before starting.
Are your modern plumbing solutions eco-friendly and water-efficient?
Yes. We prioritize environmentally responsible options such as low-flow fixtures, pressure-regulated valves, and leak-detection sensors that shut off water automatically. Hydro-jetting uses only water—no harsh chemicals—to clear drains, and trenchless repair prevents soil contamination by avoiding open trenches. These solutions reduce water waste and lower utility bills for Reliance homeowners.
Can smart leak-detection devices be integrated into my existing plumbing system?
Absolutely. We install Wi-Fi-enabled sensors at strategic points—under sinks, near water heaters, and on main supply lines —that monitor flow rates in real time. If a leak or burst is detected, the system sends an alert to your smartphone and can automatically close a shut-off valve. Integration usually takes just a few hours and works with nearly any modern or older plumbing system found in Reliance residences.
How quickly can you diagnose and fix issues using video pipe inspection?
A typical inspection takes 30–60 minutes. We feed a high-resolution camera through the pipe to capture live footage of blockages, cracks, or root intrusions. Because we can see the exact problem and its location, we eliminate guesswork, propose a targeted solution on the spot, and often complete the necessary repair the same day—saving you both time and labor costs.
Do modern plumbing techniques cost more than traditional methods?
The upfront price can be slightly higher, but modern methods often prove more cost-effective overall. Trenchless repair, for example, avoids landscape restoration and reduces labor, while smart leak detectors prevent major water damage. Faster diagnostics mean fewer billable hours, and eco-friendly fixtures lower monthly utility expenses. Most Reliance customers recoup their investment through reduced repair, water, and energy costs within a few years.
