Determine What Caused Your Sewer Problems
When we visit your home to investigate a sewer system backup, we'll do a sewer line inspection. Our innovative plumbing video camera inspection uses a small camera that we feed through your sewer line. This allows us to identify the location of the sewer problem and diagnose the cause of your sewage issues. The most common causes of residential sewer system backups are:
- Tree root intrusion in your sewer pipes
- Collapsed or damaged pipes
- A municipal sewer system backup
- Heavy rains or storms
- Soil erosion, sinkholes, or earthquakes
- Damaged pipes due to heavy traffic or nearby construction
- Old and worn-out sewer pipes
- Lack of maintenance or sewer line repairs
Review Our Methods to Repair Sewer System Backups
Once we've completed our sewer line inspection and confirmed you have a sewer system backup, we'll walk you through how we repair sewer system backups. We use trenchless sewer system backup repair methods, saving you time and money. We also won't need to dig up your yard or remove walls. Here's a look at how we repair sewer system backups:
- Drain Cleaning and Hydro Jetting – Before we repair a sewer system backup, we'll get rid of clogs or blockages in the sewer pipes. We use hydro jetting services to blast stubborn clogs and buildup on the walls of your sewer pipes. These water jets are so powerful that they can remove decades of sludge from your pipes.
- Rooter Work – If your sewer system backup is due to tree root intrusion, we’ll use drain rooters to break apart the roots and other organic matter.
- Pipe Relining – We offer pipe relining for minor cracks and leaks in your sewer line. We will insert a special sleeve into your sewer line, which creates a seal as it hardens. This repairs leaks and breaks and prevents future problems from occurring.
- Pipe Replacement – For extensive damage to your sewer line, we'll recommend pipe replacement. We'll use hydraulics to break apart the old and damaged pipe. Then we'll insert a new sewer pipe that can last up to 100 years with proper maintenance.
Prevent Future Sewage Issues
Once we’ve repaired a sewer system backup, we’ll provide tips for preventing future sewage issues and sewer problems. With preventive plumbing maintenance services, you can make sure you don’t have another sewer system backup. Our Advantage Plan makes it easier for our customers to keep up with sewer line maintenance. We offer routine sewer line inspections, sewer line and drain cleaning services, and hydrojetting services. Being careful about what you flush down your toilet and rinse down your drain will also prevent sewer problems. You shouldn’t flush tampons, condoms, cigarettes, wipes, facial tissue, paper towels, or other trash down the toilet. You should never rinse fats, oil, grease, paint, or chemicals down the drain.
