Common Questions

How does Smelly Mel's handle slab leaks, a common issue in Pacifica homes?

We understand slab leaks are a major concern for Pacifica homeowners. Our team uses specialized electronic listening equipment and pressure tests to pinpoint the exact location of the leak with minimal invasive probing. For repair, we often utilize trenchless pipe lining methods where possible, which repairs the pipe from the inside without the need for extensive excavation that can disrupt your foundation and landscaping. This approach saves time, preserves your property, and provides a durable, long-term solution.

What sets your trenchless sewer replacement apart from traditional methods?

Traditional sewer replacement requires digging a long, deep trench across your yard, which is disruptive and costly to repair. Our trenchless sewer replacement, a service we've specialized in for years, involves creating just one or two small access points. We then pull a new, durable pipe liner through the old, damaged pipe. This method is typically completed in a day, avoids destroying your lawn or driveway, and results in a jointless pipe that resists future root intrusion and corrosion.

Do you offer plumbing inspections for older homes in the Bay Area?

Yes, we highly recommend regular plumbing inspections for older homes. Our thorough inspections check for signs of corrosion in water pipes, assess water heater age and efficiency, test water pressure, and inspect for hidden leaks, including around foundations. This proactive service can identify small issues like a worn faucet washer or a slow drain before they turn into major emergencies, helping Pacifica homeowners maintain their systems and avoid unexpected repair costs.
