Making the Needed Repairs

It’s important to make the necessary repairs as soon as the leak is discovered to prevent the damage from spreading. The following tips will help:

• Look at your blueprints to find out exactly where your water pipes are located
• Have the water company perform a pressure test
• If possible, isolate the damage and make spot repairs
• Spot repairs can be made by using epoxy coating to thoroughly seal the pipe
• If spot repairs aren’t possible, reroute the piping, making it more accessible in case another leak occurs in the future

While the perfect remedy would be a spot repair, there are times when that just isn’t possible. If that’s the case, redirecting the water pipes around the concrete slab may be your best bet for making long-lasting repairs. Read more at Pipeline Restoration…
