Health Warning: Stop Using Water

A main line backup brings raw sewage into your home. This water contains dangerous bacteria and viruses. Do not run the dishwasher, washing machine, or flush toilets until our technician arrives.

How to Know It's The Main Line

A single clogged sink is a local problem. A main line blockage affects the entire house. Look for these signs:

The "Shower Surprise"

When you flush the toilet, water gurgles or rises up in the bathtub or shower drain. The water has nowhere else to go.

Multiple Clogs

If the kitchen sink, toilet, and laundry drain are all slow at the same time, the blockage is downstream in the main pipe.

Washing Machine Backup

When the washing machine drains, does the toilet bubble? The high volume of water is overwhelming the blocked main line.

The #1 Enemy

Tree Root Infiltration

Your sewer pipe is full of water and nutrients (fertilizer). Tree roots can sense this from 50 feet away. They grow into tiny cracks in your clay or cast iron pipes. Once inside, they expand, creating a net that catches toilet paper and grease.

How We Fix It:

We use heavy-duty commercial snakes with expanding cutter blades. These blades spin at high RPM to slice through roots up to 2 inches thick, acting like a weed whacker inside your pipe.

How We Restore Flow

We don't guess. We follow a proven procedure.

1

Locate the Cleanout

We look for a main access point (usually a 4-inch pipe with a cap) in your yard, garage, or basement. This allows us to send our tools directly to the street sewer.

2

Cable & Cut

We feed a thick steel cable with a sharp cutting head into the line. It punches through sludge and saws through tree roots.

3

Verify with Camera (Recommended)

After clearing, we recommend a fiber-optic camera inspection to check the pipe's condition. Are there cracks? Is the pipe collapsed? We show you the video so you know for sure.

See Inside Your Pipes

Without a camera, you are guessing. We can pinpoint exactly where the roots are entering or if your pipe has a "belly" (sag) holding water.

Sewer Line FAQ

Will the roots grow back?

Yes, eventually. Snaking cuts the roots back to the pipe wall, but they are living organisms. To permanently stop them, you either need **Hydro Jetting** (which retards growth longer) or a permanent pipe repair (lining or replacement). We can discuss maintenance plans.

Where is my cleanout?

It is usually a 3-4 inch pipe with a threaded cap. Look outside near the foundation of your house (often near the kitchen window) or in the front yard. In older homes, it might be in the basement floor or garage. If you don't have one, we can sometimes access via the roof vent or toilet (though pulling the toilet costs extra).

Does homeowners insurance cover this?

Standard policies usually do NOT cover the "repair" of the pipe (wear and tear), but they *might* cover the water damage cleanup if you have a specific "Sewer & Drain" rider. We can provide the video footage and written report needed for your claim.
