Main Line Repair and Replacement

Clogged drains are not uncommon. The solution for a clogged sink, toilet, and tub/shower is to snake the drain to clear the line. Although, in more rare occurrences you might encounter a main sewer stoppage in which all of your lower level drain lines clog simultaneously. Water always finds a way to exit your house at the lowest point. Therefore, when your lower drain lines clog simultaneously the sewer matter begins to enter your home through the drain pipes, it is time to get your main sewer line snaked, hydro-jetted, repaired, or replace. We highly recommend getting your line video camera inspected prior to getting extensive work performed on your sewer main line.

• Causes: Roots can grow into the pipe. Roots are strong enough to penetrate the pipe itself, causing the pipe to crack or break into pieces.
• “Bellies” in the line. Which are flat areas in the drain pipe that cause debris to build up.
• Offsets, areas of the line shift due to the shift and erosion of the ground underneath causing the line to become misaligned.
• Aging weakens the pipe causing leaking joints and pipe to burst.
