When a small leak happens in your sewer line, water from it slowly seeps into your soil. This additional moisture entices tree roots to grow and take advantage of. Eventually, tree roots reach and infiltrate the small crack in your pipe, enlarging your small leak and worsening the problem. As time passes, these intrusive tree roots can fill your sewer line. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Jacksonville uses a few different methods to repair sewer system backups, such as the following:
- New Lining for Pipes – Our team can effectively seal all cracks, leaks, and minor damage by inserting a watertight lining into your home’s sewer line. We can apply pipe relining to cover your entire sewer line, or it may just need to cover a compromised section. Best of all, we don’t need to dig trenches or tear up your property for this process.
- Hydro Jetting – Hydro jetting is one of the plumbing industry’s most effective methods to eliminate heavy-duty blockages like tree root intrusion in your sewer line. Our service professionals blast away clogs using high-pressure water jets. This technique doesn’t use chemicals, and it leaves your pipes completely clear of all debris, grease buildup, and tree roots.
- Rooter Work and Drain Cleaning – If your sewer line is clogged but undamaged, drain cleaning may be all it needs. We can break up any current clogs, clear out all your drains, and advise you on services that help prevent clogs in the future.
- Maintenance – Routine maintenance effectively prevents residential sewer system backups before these stressful problems occur. The team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Jacksonville inspects, cleans, and performs other maintenance services on your sewer line to keep it clear and let water and waste flow freely.
- Pipe Bursting – If your sewer line requires a complete replacement, pipe bursting makes installing a new sewer line more straightforward. Service professionals perform this trenchless process by breaking apart your existing sewer line and inserting a new pipe in its place.
