Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance and prompt repair of sewer lines are crucial for preventing sewage backups and other costly plumbing emergencies. These proactive measures ensure the efficient flow of wastewater, eliminating the risk of health hazards and property damage.

• Regular Inspections and Cleaning: Regular camera inspections can detect blockages and potential issues, while routine cleaning prevents the accumulation of debris and grease that could lead to clogs.
• Pipe Repair and Replacement: Damaged pipes can cause leaks, backups, and significant water damage. Professionals can diagnose the issue and determine if repair or replacement is necessary.
• Root Intrusion Control: Tree roots can penetrate and damage sewer lines. Regular cutting and removal of roots prevents blockages and ensures the integrity of the pipes.

How do you remove a sewer cleanout?

Removing a sewer cleanout requires expertise and proper safety measures:

• Locate the Cleanout: Identify the access point typically located outside the house near the street or in the basement.
• Uncover the Cleanout: Clear any debris or dirt covering the cleanout cap.
• Remove the Cap: Using a wrench, carefully unscrew the cap and lift it off.
• Clear the Blockage: Insert a drain snake or auger to locate and remove the blockage.
