Plumbing Service in Dallas: Clay soil is highly involved during the construction of a house, in order to minimize the underground plumbing issues, specialized precautions should be taken. Clay soil tends to expand and contract at will, according to the amount of moisture in the ground at the time. While this movement happens and the ground shifts, cracking can happen in the foundation, driveway, patios, walkways and walls of the house. This movement gives stress to the pipes which are located in the walls and under the foundation of the house. If the pipes are too stiff, bursting may occur. One such city which is known for its clay soil is Texas.
Professional plumbers are well aware of the problems that the shifting clay soil can cause to plumbing. It is important that you have a Professional plumber frequently perform an entire plumbing inspection once or twice a year to assess the stress on your pipes and check for any leaks or POTENTIAL hidden leaks which are likely to occur if no preventative action has been taken. Also, an experienced plumbing professional will make suggestions and recommendations during installation of pipes to help minimize stress on the plumbing due to the moving soil.
One of the most effective way to prevent potential problems with the shifting ground is to use flexible growth couplings and enlargement joints to help avoid leaking or cracking at the joints. Any place where one length of pipe is being attached to another length of pipe, an enlargement/expansion coupling could be used. These couplings slip over the ends of each pipe, connecting them together, yet allowing for some movement. Steel clamps are necessary to hold the coupling and the pipes together. The emphasis here is on using enlargement/expansion couplings, not regular sized couplings. The regular couplings are not designed so that they allow movement, whereas the enlargement couplings are.
Another most effective method for avoiding problems associated with clay soil is to use NEW pipes during installation. If you have no choice but to use existing pipes, then just take care not to switch from one type of metal pipe to another type. For instance, if you have copper pipes, then stick with copper. Professional plumbers having years of experience in working and dealing with clay soil for many, many years, will give your project and your home a personal assessment and will give right suggestions for the best course of action to prevent unnecessary repairs later down the road due to the shifting nature of the soil surrounding your plumbing.
