Where is my sewer system?
Your sewer system is located inside your home and underneath it. Drainage lines run through your home and underneath the home to the city’s main sewer system. This system of pipes carries wastewater away from your home to a water treatment facility. This system can be complicated and dangerous to work with, which is why you need professional help.
Why do sewers need to be cleaned?
Over time, your sewer system can develop buildups inside the pipes which could partially or fully block the flow of water, causing a major problem at your home. Major blockages could cause the water to back up at your home, which would bring hefty repair costs. Additionally, being located underground, sewer lines are at risk of being ruptured by growing tree roots. Sewer cleaning service clears blockages and tree roots to prevent major problems.
How do you clean sewers?
Sewers are cleaned using a high-pressure stream of water that pushes blockages and wastewater through the pipes to be sucked up by a large vacuum truck, which then gets taken to a landfill.
How are sewers inspected?
Contrary to popular belief, we don’t have to go underground to clean and inspect the sewers. We use a flexible video camera that can go underground for us. Using this technology, we can inspect every inch of your sewer system with precision.
How long will sewer cleaning take?
Each job is different depending on your property, the layout of your system, and the severity of the blockages. However, cleaning the sewers of one home can usually be done in a day.
Do I need to prepare?
As a matter of fact, you do. The pressure used in cleaning out the sewers can cause water to swish around in your system and even back up into toilets and bathtubs/showers. Be sure to ask your sewer cleaning company what they suggest you do to prevent damage while the cleaning is being done.
