Q&A
What does a plumbing inspection from Dick Welker Construction involve?
Our plumbing inspections go beyond a simple visual check. We use specialized camera equipment to conduct a detailed video assessment of your pipes, identifying cracks, blockages, or root intrusions that aren't visible otherwise. This is often combined with cleaning and pressure testing to give you a complete picture of your drainage system's health. With our background in construction, we can assess how your plumbing integrates with your home's overall structure.
My laundry hose burst and flooded the utility room. Can you help with this kind of emergency repair in Albany?
Absolutely. Sudden hose failures and pipe joint leaks are common issues we handle for Albany homeowners. We respond promptly to contain the water damage and perform the necessary repair or replacement. For recurring issues or older plumbing, we often recommend a follow-up camera inspection of the connected lines to ensure there's no hidden corrosion or weakness that could lead to another leak, providing a more permanent solution.
You mention pipe bursting on your site. What is that, and when is it needed?
Pipe bursting is a trenchless method we use to replace severely damaged underground drain lines without needing to dig a long trench across your yard. We pull a new, durable pipe through the old one, simultaneously fracturing the old pipe outward. It's ideal for homes with recurring clogs, collapsed pipes, or root-damaged lines. This technique, part of our suite of rehabilitation services that includes CIPP spot repair and chemical grouting, minimizes landscape disruption—a valuable benefit for Albany properties.
