Sewer Replacement & PVC Leak Repair in Palm Beach & Broward
Sewer Replacement and PVC Leak Repair: Practical Help from Raptor Plumbing
At Raptor Plumbing, we’re committed to keeping homes in Atlantis, Greenacres, and Wellington running smoothly—plus the rest of Palm Beach and Broward counties. Two issues we’re called for most often are sewer line replacement and PVC leak repair. Here’s what homeowners should know and how we can help.
Sewer Replacement: When and Why It’s Needed
Your sewer line quietly handles all your home’s wastewater. When it struggles, you’ll usually see the signs before a major failure. If we suspect a problem, we start with a camera inspection to pinpoint the issue and recommend repair or replacement.
- Frequent backups or slow drains throughout the home
- Gurgling toilets or floor drains after using water
- Sewer odors indoors or near the yard
- Sudden wet spots, sinkholes, or unusually green grass over the line
- Older clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg piping, or root intrusion
Depending on pipe condition and location, solutions may include a targeted spot repair or a full replacement. We handle utility locating, permitting, and code compliance. Where feasible, we discuss trenchless methods (like lining or pipe bursting) to minimize landscaping disruption; where not feasible, traditional excavation ensures a reliable, long-term fix.
PVC Leak Repair: Fast, Clean, and Code-Compliant
Leaks in PVC piping often stem from movement, improper primer/cement, or stress at fittings. Our team repairs leaks in drain, vent, and cold-water PVC lines and uses CPVC where hot water is involved to meet code and performance requirements.
- We identify the true source of the leak (not just where water shows up)
- Cut out compromised sections and replace with properly primed and cemented fittings
- Secure pipes with correct supports so joints aren’t stressed
- Pressure or flow-test the repair and verify no additional hidden issues
If you notice a drip inside a wall or ceiling, shut off the water if safe to do so and place a container under the leak. Avoid covering or sealing the area until it’s inspected; good airflow helps dry surrounding materials and reduces damage. Pipes should run neatly alongside framing within walls—never exposed on finished surfaces—so we open walls surgically, repair, and leave the area ready for patch and paint.
