Massive Tree Roots
From time to time to catch a great view of what tree roots look like in a sewer line. As you can tell in the picture above these tree roots fully took over the sewer line. When this happens the only way to remove them is to excavate which isn’t a cheap process. It takes a team of good technicians and expensive equipment to solve these types of problems. Once we remove the tree roots depending on how much work needs to be done with the sewer line to get it up to par and functioning properly we recommend cleaning your sewer line yearly.
If you see this image please pass along to a friend so they have the chance to clean and camera inspect their sewer line before they get into this problem.
Tree roots aren’t your friend and they only can harm you’re sewer line.
Don’t Flood Your House
With the melting of snow on it’s way over the next couple weeks it’s crucial to have your sewer system professionally cleaned. Tree-roots that are in the sewer line restrict water flow from getting to the city sewer which means flooded basements. Roots are an on going maintenance that you need to stay on top of. Cleaning your sewer line and camera inspecting it will prove the condition of your sewer line. Making sure you know how to properly take care of your sewer line is essential to home ownership.

Snow Days for Plumbing Companies
Plumbing & drain cleaning is a very interesting field with all the different problems we come across each and every day. Clients ask us if were busier more at one time of the year then others. I think the answer is no, except for very cold winters like this one (2014). This has been an unusual winter being how cold it has been for long periods of time. Any building weather commercial, residential or industrial gets frozen pipes without knowing. It’s to hard to plan for when you might get a frozen pipe. All you can do it once you know you have one address the situation and call a local plumber you might know. The earlier you address the problem the easier it will be to repairs and get your drain flowing again. Same goes for if your water lines are frozen contact a plumber asap cause if the pipes bust you’ll have a bigger mess at hand.
Snow days for plumbing companies can be very hard and frustrating. This goes for any service company that has to come to your house to address the situation. From not having clients shoveled out and tracking through snow to having the roads move like a parking lot (which isn’t fast). Please consider when weather hits us with bad with especially snow to have your driveways and sidewalks cleared so our technicians don’t trip and injury themselves. Remember, your calling us to help you with a problem your having. Were not the bad guys, but only your rescuer.
Thanks again to all our clients that stick with us through good and bad weather.
Sewer Line Excavation Hourly Rate
When planning and gathering all the information you need before excavating is very crucial. The only part of the whole process you can control is who you hire. Making sure you know exactly what will be done is important. Don’t get left in the blind side when your hiring a company to dig and repair a portion of your sewer line. Understand though that more work may need to be done after the first cracked/broken tile is repaired.
These are some reasons you may want to repair a section of your main sewer line system.
1. Two (2) different knowledgeable technicians have spent adequate time cleaning and trying to open your sewer system
2. A camera device went down your sewer line and the picture proved that your sewer line needs repair in that area. Remember just cause a camera shows a cracked tile, this doesn’t mean you have to dig now. Sometimes you should gather 2 different opinions.
3. Your sewer line is holding water and is gradually dipping back towards the inside of your home. Low spots in sewer lines can cause back-ups more often then your think. Following water to the street is very important.
Most plumbing companies that excavate will give you a price for a certain amount of hours and men. After that quote they will charge by the hour. Make sure you know the up front hourly cost before they start. Do your own Due-diligence.
Most sewer lines these days are old but can still last fine with proper drain cleaning once a year from a professional drain technician. Cleaning your sewer line each and every year can make your sewer line last longer. Camera your line every couple years and see the condition of your line. Just cause a company tells you to excavate your sewer line THAT doesn’t at all mean you have to.
Hire a company that’s trustworthy and willing to talk you though the process instead of a rushy plumbing company that just wants your money.
Hire Ken’s Sewer Service to handle all your drain cleaning, plumbing and excavation needs.
Looking forward to handling your next drain issue.

Is your main sewer clean out in a terrible spot?
Main sewer lines sometimes can be in the worst possible spots when having a clogged drain. When houses get built most the time builders don’t think about having a clogged drain to deal with. Placement of a main sewer line should be thought about ahead of time. Stack lines and front floor clean outs should be both easily accessible for cleaning/snaking.
I’ve seen basements built that have stack pipes right in the center of the basement which is great. What they didn’t plan for is that the bathroom would be around the stack and that the opening would face the wrong way.
Cleaning drains is very important. Drains do back up and there’s no way to prevent this. Chemicals is known to be terrible for the drains and pipes. More problems will occur if you use chemicals weather store bought or home made. Snaking drains is the only way to clean and push the clog out the pipe.

People tend not to know the right time to properly clean their sewer line. The answer is obvious, before you start seeing any sort of back-up. Most people aren’t thinking about their sewer line from year-to-year and only clean it when a flood starts. Well that’s entirely wrong. Once a back-up has occurred your already to late. You don’t want to get stuck paying extra for emergency service calls.
Clients that have encountered a sewage back-up in the past end up signing up for annual sewer preventative maintenance. Waiting until a back-up occur ends up taking more time and costing more. The longer you wait, the larger the tree-root growth gets.

The number one cause of sewer line back-ups is due to tree-roots. Tree root intrusion with make their way into your sewer system and keep growing. By performing annual maintenance this will slow down the root growth process from spreading your sewer line apart. Weather you think it or not debris grows in your sewer line. Having a vacant house is even worse then living there. Daily flowing water is great for a sewer system, otherwise you have a chance that your sewer line will dry out.
Sewer lines that have roots will end up shifting your pipe apart slowly. Eventually, breaking your pipe apart.
By scheduling maintenance on your sewer line annually this will slow down the process of your pipe from collapsing. Once your pipe crushes down you’ll be forced to excavate your yard and repair that spot. This typically happens when you least expect it. The price of repairing a sewer line is costly so make sure you clean your sewer system.
