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.

Sewer rooting is the service of removing roots from your sewer line or floor drain. Roots tend to grow anywhere and everywhere. There is no stopping root growth. The only way to keep roots from getting into your sewer line is to excavate. 90% of the time that’s not needed and very pricey. Once tree roots enter your sewer line there is no getting rid of them. Tree roots grow and grow. By cleaning your sewer line annually you will slow down the process of roots growth from spreading. Most our clients have never had to dig/excavate if they maintain cleaning on their sewer line.

Never dig unless you get two opinions. Remember the service of excavating your yard is not cheap. Don’t just let any company talk you into digging unless they can 100% prove your line needs it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ken’s Sewer Service would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Leaking around your Kitchen Sink?

Whenever you come in contact with a leak, right away a trigger should turn on in your head telling you to turn off your water. There are two places normally to turn your water off. Either from under the sink or at the main water supply to the property. After turning off your water call a neighbor or friend and ask who they have used in the past for plumbing problems.

Next, call the plumbing company and tell them your problem. Once they calm your nerves the hard part has passed. Finding a leak can be very obvious or can be a major headache. Water can develop a leak from many different sources near the kitchen sink. Don’t let water fool you. Water is always on the move, figuratively speaking. Having water in one spot doesn’t mean that the leak is coming from there. A water leak in the kitchen can be coming from the dishwasher, garbage disposal, instant hot dispenser, water filers, kitchen sink faucet, water lines, drain pipes and more. Have the plumber take a look and let him decide what needs to be fixed.

Look what we found in a sewer line

Everyday our company cleans several main sewer line throughout the city of Minneapolis/St. Paul and suburbs. Today we found a massive root build-up in a new customers house. At the beginning we thought they needed to camera and locate a broken pipe. After some time we ran 6″ blades through the line and pulled out this huge root. In our professional opinion any line that has roots should be inspected with a camera to see the condition of the pipe and should be set up on annual cleaning.

Waste water treatment plants

Easy to read map of a waste water treatment plant. People are sometimes curious as to where debris goes when it exits their homes. Some people might think once they flush and put something down their drains it’s magically gone, well think again. Lots of hard work goes into separating sewage and water. Water that we use is recycled and we eventually use it again.
