Even if you get nowhere trying to clear a clogged sewer drain, we usually have no trouble with it. That’s not bragging, it’s just saying we come equipped to do the job you hired us for.
But then there’s another kind of drain problem. One that could become a major problem before you’re even aware of it.
We’re talking about root blockage in your underground sewer line. Roots from trees and shrubs, to be exact. You see, the same liquid waste you flush is “mother’s milk” to roots, loaded with the kind of nutrients that help your greenery thrive.
So, the roots push, shove, poke and do whatever it takes to get inside your sewer line. If there’s a crack, they’re in. If not, they can create their own. Once inside, roots can grow and multiply to the point where you have a complete blockage AND a broken or cracked pipe. That can turn out to be a major mess and a costly repair.
Here’s How to Prevent Serious Drain Problems
Sewer blockages can be prevented with regular maintenance. We can perform a very affordable main line clearing and, at the same time, inspect the inside of your drain with a video camera and monitor designed for that purpose. If there’s even a small amount of root invasion, we can remove it with our high-pressure water jetting service. That, in turn, helps protect the drain line from cracking or breaking.
Another good time to request a main sewer line clearing and inspection is before you buy the home you’re ready to close on. It’s not part of the normal inspection process, but no less important in helping you avoid a major expense that could be waiting for you after you’ve already moved in.
