Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance and prompt repair of your sewer line are essential for preventing clogs and other issues that can lead to sewage backups. These services are typically performed by professional plumbers.

How Do You Clean a Clogged Main Sewer Line?

If your main sewer line becomes clogged, it’s important to seek assistance from a reputable sewage cleanup service. Skilled technicians utilize specialized equipment to remove blockages, unclog pipes, and restore proper drainage.

Common Methods for Cleaning Clogged Main Sewer Lines:

• Hydro-Jetting: High-pressure water is used to blast away blockages.
• Snaking: A long, flexible cable with an auger head is inserted into the line to break up clogs.
• Camera Inspection: A camera is used to locate the exact location of the blockage and guide the cleaning process.
• Excavation: In severe cases, excavation may be necessary to access and repair the affected section of the sewer line.

Preventing Clogged Sewer Lines:

To minimize the likelihood of sewer line clogs, consider the following measures:

• Avoid flushing non-biodegradable materials (e.g., wipes, paper towels, dental floss).
• Dispose of grease and cooking oil properly (e.g., in sealed containers, not down the drain).
• Regularly maintain your septic tank (if you have one).
• Schedule routine sewer line inspections and cleanings.

By diligently adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure the optimal functioning of your sewer line and prevent costly repairs down the road.
