Backups in drains and sewers can adversely affect your pipes and ultimately require expensive repairs. Professional plumbers use the latest techniques and products to clear troublesome clogs.

Clogged Drains Ultimately Require Expert Attention

Clogged drains are a fact of life. When you are faced with one, your first reaction is to try a household drain cleaner. This works to some extent, but the problem is likely to recur. Save a good deal of stress for yourself and serious problems for your pipes and call the professionals. They use advanced technology and the most effective products to fix the problems and keep your drains running freely.

Powerful Solutions for Blockages

Your trained and certified plumbing technician is experienced at inspecting drains and sewers and locating stoppages, leaks, root intrusions and collapsed lines. A high-speed, high-pressure hydro-jetting system is often used to clear blockages. There’s also safe yet powerful drain-conditioning products that break down and eliminate organic waste like food particles, grease and sewage. The right products even kill roots that have invaded your pipes.

Signs of a Sewer Drain Clog

A sewer drain clog is a serious problem that often results in an emergency call to your plumbing company. When a blockage exists, water backs up into the household plumbing. There are a few strong indications that the sewer is in trouble. One thing to look out for is if several plumbing fixtures in your home have backed up at the same time. Also try turning on the faucet in the sink nearest the toilet. If the water in the toilet bubbles or the level begins to rise, this is a red flag that there is a backup in the main sewer line.

Consider a Trenchless Sewer Line

When underground pipes need to be replaced, excavating them can be expensive and problematic. The labor-intensive work makes a mess of your lawn. Consider slip lining as an alternative. This process of installing a smaller pipe inside the existing pipe is an example of trenchless sewer line repair. Another option is pipe bursting. This utilizes a device that breaks the damaged pipe into small pieces while a new pipeline is being pulled through. Your plumbing professional uses many techniques like these to ensure that the drains and sewers in your life stay trouble-free. Taking care of your pipes for the long run allows for a long, useful life of all your home’s drains and pipes.
