Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a sewer line problem?

Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, or multiple fixtures backing up at once are common signs. A camera inspection can confirm exactly where the problem is.

Do you offer video pipe inspection?

Yes — we use video camera inspection to locate blockages, cracks, and root intrusion without guesswork or unnecessary digging.

What causes a drain to clog again and again?

Recurring clogs usually mean the underlying cause was never fully cleared — grease buildup, tree roots, or a bellied (sagging) section of pipe. A camera inspection finds the real cause instead of just treating the symptom.

How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?

For most homes, once a year is enough to stay ahead of buildup. Older homes, homes with tree roots near sewer lines, or households with frequent slow drains may benefit from cleaning every 6 months.

Can tree roots really get into my sewer line?

Yes — roots are drawn to the moisture inside sewer pipes and can enter through small cracks or joints, growing into blockages that require cutting or hydro jetting to clear.

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of a pipe clean, removing grease, sludge, and root intrusion that a standard cable can't fully clear. It's typically used for stubborn or recurring clogs.

Is drain cleaning covered by my free estimate?

Yes — we'll diagnose the problem and give you an upfront price before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
