Welcome to Bob Smith Plumbing, the Best Tamarac Cast Iron Sewer Pipe Repair and Replacement. Our company specializes in cast iron pipe repair, also known as tunnel, trenchless, and PVC pipe replacement. We service Residential / Commercial / Industrial customers in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
You might be experiencing symptoms like clogged toilets, repeated need to snake sewer lines, and strange smells. Please call us. We are family-owned and operated and have been in business since 1978. We will personally help you solve your old cast iron pipe problems.
The first phase in replacing your cast iron pipelines involves tunneling. Unlike intrusive methods that destroy your floors, we excavate from the outside to safeguard your home's interior and slab integrity.
Bob Smith Plumbing uses an advanced hydro-excavation method to tunnel beneath your residence. Our state-of-the-art equipment merges high-pressure water with vacuum suction, facilitating swift and precise soil removal. Hydro-excavation precision allows our seasoned technicians unobstructed access to your home's pipework.
At Bob Smith Plumbing, we are proud to utilize proprietary hydro-excavation machinery that's both efficient and environmentally responsible. Our system effectively separates soil from water, ensuring a safe and systematic disposal of materials.
Our commitment to tunneling prioritizes our dedication to preserving your home's integrity and structural essence, ensuring your flooring stays pristine and interiors remain intact.
Following the conclusion of our precise tunneling process, we replace the compromised pipes. Re-piping is about giving your sewer lines a fresh start by replacing the deteriorated and damaged cast iron with resilient PVC.
PVC has many advantages, like:
The re-piping process entails the removal of the old cast iron pipelines, installing connectors for the new PVC lines, supported by SS hangers that prevent rust to ensure proper pitch and prevent sagging for a permanent solution, and finalizing the installation with the PVC lines.
With Bob Smith Plumbing, you're fortifying your system for many years ahead.
The final phase of our pipe replacement process is backfilling. This essential step is critical to the integrity of a home's foundation. Proper backfilling restores excavated areas to their original, or often superior, condition.
Bob Smith Plumbing uses specialized techniques and cutting-edge equipment exclusively designed for this critical step. We choose premium crushed limestone for its capacity to yield optimal compaction, ensuring the strongest, most resilient, and safest base.
Other companies may use cement for backfilling, making it challenging to repair or replace pipes in the future. Or they use the same excavated soil to refill the trench, resulting in a poorly finished backfilling job with possible long-term compromises to the foundation. Bob Smith Plumbing only uses crushed limestone to backfill.
Restoring the excavated tunnel to its original state is paramount to guaranteeing a solid foundation beneath your home. With Bob Smith Plumbing's unwavering precision and deep-seated commitment to excellence, you are assured of a fortified infrastructure, granting you peace of mind for the foreseeable future.
With Bob Smith Plumbing, you're not just getting a service. You're investing in the sustained well-being and robustness of your residence's plumbing infrastructure.
Tamarac has many established neighborhoods where plumbing systems have been working for decades. Over time, older pipes can corrode internally and create chronic restrictions that basic clearing won’t permanently fix.
Bob Smith Plumbing helps you get certainty with a video camera inspection that shows what’s happening inside the line. From there, we recommend the right solution—often including cast iron pipe replacement when deteriorating drain and sewer lines are the real cause.
The challenges of plumbing repair often require innovative solutions. An alternative to total sewer line replacement is LightRay Pipelining, which specifically targets and renews only the broken sections of a cast iron sewer pipe.
The procedure involves inserting a specially crafted liner into the malfunctioning section of the sewer pipe. Once positioned, this liner is expertly cured (hardened) with UV light, creating a renewed structural surface within the existing line.
LightRay is only an option when:
Descaling is the process of removing hard mineral deposits, scale, and corrosion buildup from inside sewer pipelines. Over time, these deposits can restrict wastewater flow and cause blockages. Descaling effectively restores the pipes to their original diameter and functionality.
