If your buying a new home have your realtor call a drain cleaning company like ours and have the sewer line camera inspected. Sometimes will find sewer lines that will make you consider other homes and sometimes we can help you negotiate money towards repairing your sewer line depending on it’s condition.

Depending on your sewer line you should minimally clean it once a year. Pick a time normally Spring or Fall and have your sewer line cleaned. Besides tree roots that grow inside your sewer line there are several other reasons to clean it as well. Lines also build up scale and other hard debris that sits and hardens over the course of the year. Cutting tree roots out of your sewer line is no different that getting a haircut several times a year. Once you leave your barber your hair starts to grow right then, just like when we stop cleaning your sewer line tree roots keep growing as well (even in the Winter).

Call us and schedule your main sewer line cleaning and camera inspection today. Sewer lines that have been neglected for years might even be in need of hydro water jetting. Get your sewer line cleaned and looked at before you may need excavation as well.

Main sewer lines can get obstructed and or clogged for several reasons. One being caused by tree roots that get through your line weather its clay, cast iron, or plastic. No matter what roots grows with water and tree roots will find their way to a water source. Another, reasons sewer lines can clogged is from foreign products that get flushed or accidentally put down drains.

Our company is here for you when you clog your own sewer line and these days we also have camera technology to view your sewer line and see the condition it’s in.

Sewer lines can be repaired meaning excavated if necessary but this is at last resort. Before digging up a broken line you must be 100% sure it needs to be repaired. Lots of times properties have horrible access’s or small clean-outs to properly even clean their sewer main line. After a company cleans your sewer line they can camera it and see the condition and pitch the line is in. If the camera shows that a repair is needed then that the time to install an outside clean out to properly be able to clean in the future. Weather your line needs snaking or jetting to clean the line outside is where the mess should be.
