Sewer Line Cleaning

Clogged sewer drains will trigger serious issues in your home. Food particles, hair, and other substances may cause clogging of your pipes, preventing the dirt and water from passing through.

Many forces can cause a clogged sewer drain. The clog may start as a sluggish drain, or as a whiff of intermittent sewer odor wafting up from the pipe. Running the dishwasher or washing machine may cause a backup in the shower or tub.

Any of these are symptoms of a drain problem. A clogged sewer drain can create a catastrophic sewage flood in the home. A sewage flood can be severe enough to require a restoration company that can cost thousands of dollars to repair the damage.


Food particles, hair, and other substances may cause clogging of your pipes, preventing the dirt and water from passing through. But, even the homeowner who is judiciously careful about what they put down their drain is not exempt from sewer line issues, as the problem can be caused by a tree root invasion of the sewer line.

A sewer line problem will have a significant impact on the entire household, shutting down waste disposal, cleaning, and bathing. Nearly everything water-related comes to a complete halt. The mainline will need to be turned off to prevent further backups or flooding. A plumbing expert such as a Much Better Plumbing technician can locate and repair a sewer main line clog. While the main sewer line isn't part of the house and runs to the city sewer system, it is still the homeowner's responsibility to keep the pipe clear rather than city services.

When a homeowner calls us at Much Better Plumbing, an assessment will be necessary to determine the problem. A camera inspection is often essential to find out what is clogging the waste line and the location of the clog. The camera will show roots, breaks in the pipe, and the severity of the clog. It should be noted that a small root or cracked pipe problem is easier to deal with before it becomes monumental. The plumber can then give the homeowner a clear understanding of the situation and the options available.

The plumber and the homeowner can then discuss options and come to a consensus about the best way to handle the clog. When the line is clear, our expert can help the homeowner by recommending ways to keep the drain clear, such as asking family members not to put specific objects down the system to prevent future obstructions. If a tree root mass causes the clog, it may be possible that a regular rooter service can prevent further blockage without the need to dig up the whole system to replace the sewer line.
