Armor plumbing came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint! They responded quickly with backhoes and camera scan equipment in tow to diagnose a clogged sewer line, then worked tirelessly all day until their task was complete. I highly recommend their services!
Water Heater Installation
Installation of a new water heater can be a complex and time-consuming process, but we’re here to make your life easier by managing every aspect of this project for you – such as taking care of removing and disposing of the old heater, installing and connecting the new one, as well as connecting to your plumbing system. We adhere to manufacturer instructions, local codes, and applicable regulations when installing thermal expansion tanks, pressure relief valves, and disconnect lines. Water heaters can be attached to your home’s plumbing through copper tubing, corrugated flexible metal connectors, or PEX tubing – with PEX tubing being ideal for new construction as well as retrofits due to its versatility, ease of use, and longevity. We can assist you in selecting the appropriate tubing based on its versatility, ease of use, and longevity – our lead-free* alloy ECO BRONZE fittings resist corrosion, mineral buildup, rust, and freeze damage while remaining compatible with PEX tubing!
Sewer Line Repairs
A broken sewer line can wreak havoc on your property, causing extensive damage and costly repair bills. That is why it is vitally important that it be repaired immediately; luckily, there are multiple approaches you can take depending on its severity, such as spot repairs or even total replacements.
At the outset of any repair process, running a camera through your pipes to assess their condition is the first step to taking practical steps against sewer damage. Common causes include tree roots infiltrating pipe joints and ground shifts, as well as seismic activity or age-related changes that compromise drainage infrastructure.
Once a plumber has assessed the extent of damage, they can recommend an effective repair method. Spot repairs usually aren’t suitable for cracks or breaks with multiple cracks or breaks in them – such issues usually necessitate complete replacement instead.
Pipelining is one of the most widely utilized methods for sewer line repair and one that can often be completed quickly – this involves inserting a resin-soaked felt sleeve or tube into your existing pipeline and inflating it before the epoxy hardens around it to form a leakproof connection within its old one. This trenchless repair option can often be completed within a day!
Drain Cleaning
Clogged drains can create numerous issues for homeowners. Clogs may lead to slow-moving water or sewer backups, and they can damage pipes and home plumbing systems. One effective way of avoiding clogged drains is through regular maintenance of both your sewer lines and drains using products such as drain snakes and chemical drain-clearing products.
Drain snakes feature sharp metal blades on a rotating part that cut through and clear away clogs in your pipes. They are available at most home improvement stores. However, this method should only be used to clear minor blockages; more significant or more severe blockages require a professional drain cleaning service.
Chemical drain cleaners can be harmful, damaging pipes and eventually corroding pipe walls over time. There are fewer toxic products available at home improvement stores to keep drains healthy, such as oxidizing and non-caustic cleaners that contain bacteria to convert organic waste in your drain line into water and carbon dioxide for disposal.
Hydro jetting, an advanced drain cleaning technique, uses high-powered water pressure to clear away clogs in drain lines quickly. Compared to drain snakes, hydrojetting offers faster results and leaves your pipes cleaner, so it will be harder for clogs to form again in the future.
