When your home’s main sewer line needs to be repaired, the best solutions will depend on the situation and the extent of the damage. If your sewer line is severely damaged or the structural integrity of the line is compromised, we might recommend sewer line replacement. In simpler cases, we may be able to clean out a clog with high-powered hydrojetting. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Shasta County always offers you a range of possible sewer line repair options, explaining the pros and cons of each during your appointment. Some of the solutions for a sewer system backup include:
- Hydro Jetting – Hydro jetting is an excellent solution when you have a particularly stubborn clog. This method involves a high-pressure stream of water capable of blasting away nearly any blockage from things like tree roots, grease buildup, or other debris.
- Pipe Relining – Relining your pipe is an appealing long-term solution for sewer lines with cracks and leaks. We can insert a sleeve into your existing sewer line, which will harden and form a new watertight surface for the inside of your sewer line.
- Maintenance – The most convenient way to deal with sewer system backups is to prevent them. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Shasta County offers maintenance services that can identify sewer system backups early and prevent them from disrupting your daily life. Routine maintenance is also an effective way to avoid many other plumbing problems.
- Rooter Work and Drain Cleaning – Some blockages can be fixed by simply cleaning drains and removing clogs with a rooter (otherwise known as a snake). This can be a quick and easy solution, but it may not be enough if there is damage to your sewer line.
- Pipe Replacement – In the most severe cases of sewer line damage, we may recommend replacing your sewer line. Sometimes, a sewer line is compromised beyond the point of repair, and replacement becomes the wisest option.
