Sewer Inspection, Clearing, and Repairs

Common indicators include frequent clogs or backups, foul odors emanating from drains, gurgling sounds in pipes, and unusually lush or soggy patches in the yard. Slow draining sinks and toilets can also signal an underlying issue in the sewer system that warrants a professional inspection.

Sewer clearing typically involves using specialized tools like drain snakes or augers to remove blockages. For more severe clogs, hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water streams, may be employed. The process includes identifying the blockage location, selecting the appropriate method to clear the blockage, and then performing the clearing process to restore normal flow.

Common sewer repairs include fixing pipe cracks or breaks, sealing joint leaks, and removing tree root intrusions. Methods vary from traditional excavation for pipe replacement to trenchless repair techniques like pipe lining or bursting. The choice of repair method depends on the damage’s extent, pipe material, and location.

Yes, regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and cleaning, can significantly reduce the likelihood of severe sewer problems. Preventative measures like avoiding the disposal of grease, oils, and non-biodegradable items down the drain also play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy sewer system. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early on, preventing costly repairs and damage.
