Spigot and Hydrant Repair Des Moines

Before we start in on your spigot or hydrant repair, Des Moines plumbers will inspect the unit for visible damages, leaks and corrosion. Next, we'll perform an operation check by opening and closing the hydrant with a wrench to check for smooth operation. If there is water in the barrel, the hydrant may have valve seat issues. Finally, we'll ensure compliance with local standards by pressurizing the hydrant and inspecting for leaks.

To prepare the hydrant for repairs, we'll need to disassemble the unit so we can access its internal components. We will then remove any parts that are damaged and show signs of wear, corrosion or visible damage, such as O-rings or seals. We will clean all the components of the hydrant, especially those in contact with gaskets or O-rings.

After disassembly and cleaning have been completed, we will replace any worn or damaged parts, such as cotter pins, valve rubbers, O-rings, or gaskets, and lubricate these parts to ensure optimal operation. Following replacement and repair, we will reassemble the hydrant, ensuring connections are aligned and securely in place.
