Pipe press in Redmond Oregon and pipe repair

Irrigation goes hand in hand with a pipe press in Redmond Oregon. Pipe repair is popular on farms and in residential/commercial ground plumbing. There are several types of pipes. PVC (Polyethylene) and metal. Well, two – lol. You can use wood if you are interested in rustic designs (Asian art), but most use PVC and metal in Central Oregon. The weather here permits sturdy pipes because of winter freeze.

PVC Pipe Repair

Repairing PVC pipes for sprinklers takes time and energy. It’s easy to spot when there is a leak because of bubbling and area water, but in a lot of cases, you will need specialized ground microphones and headphone to find the actual leak without ripping apart the entire surface area. After finding the leak, you need to dig around the pipe to expose the problem. After shutting off the water main, you will need to mark, cut and remove the broken section. Then measure the two ends where the new pipe needs to be connected. Cut a piece just a half inch shorter than the original length (broken part that was cut out) to save room for couplings. Apply cement solvent and then cement and let dry. Here is a good article explaining this process in better detail.

Copper or Galvanized Pipes Repair

Corrosion or earth movement can break metal pipes. Repairing is a little more difficult than PVC. You will need to use the same ground microphone and headset as well to locate the exact spot. Unfortunately, you can’t rent this so most call an expert, but if you happen to find the leak through bubbling or see a pool of water, you know where to fix. Dig around the pipe like above and turn off the main water valve. Using a hacksaw (reciprocal saw), cut out the damaged area. Like above, cut a new piece of pipe a half inch shorter to make room for the couplings. Just like above, follow the same procedures but with pipe thread compound and PEX adaptors. Here is great article explaining the how-to’s.

Pipe press in Redmond Oregon is easy to find. Pressing is the joining of two pipes by circumferential compressive force creating a liquid tight connection. They are used more often than soldering tools so you don’t have to carry flux and paste. Since there are millions upon millions of different fittings in the plumbing world, pipe pressing tubing tools is/are used quite often. Pipe press tools are expensive and one cannot buy just for a one time job. Usually when someone has a leak on their property from underground plumbing, they have no choice but to call experts to fix.
