Sewer Line Cleaning and Service

Our main sewer lines have the very important job of removing wastewater from our homes. When there’s a blockage, a broken pipe, or another problem, they can’t always do that job properly.

How to Know You Need Sewer and Drain Cleaning Services

Drain and sewer problems don’t typically happen overnight, making it harder to know when you need to call an expert in residential sewer cleaning. However, the following signs might indicate that now is a good time to contact your locally owned and operated Mr. Rooter Plumbing for sewer cleaning services.

You’re Experiencing Slow Drainage

If you’ve noticed that your tub, shower, or sink is draining slowly, pay attention. There might be a buildup or a clog in the pipes.

You Experience Frequent Clogs

For some homeowners, it can sometimes feel like you’re forever using drain cleaners, drain snakes, and other drain-unclogging tools. If you experience frequent clogs, contact a licensed and insured service professional without delay. Your pipes might have a deeper issue that requires your attention.

You Hear Gurgling Sounds

Gurgling sounds in plumbing fixtures aren’t always normal. Contact your locally owned and operated Mr. Rooter Plumbing to identify a possible venting issue or blockage.

You Smell Foul Odors

Do you smell a foul aroma coming from your yard or drains? There may be a sewer line issue or pipe buildup.

Unusually Low Water Pressure

If your water pressure has dropped, you may have a blockage in your sewer line or pipes that can require professional inspection with a sewer inspection camera.

Water Is Backing Up

Now might be the time to look for a drain and sewer repair services provider if water is backing up in your drains. This can indicate a blockage or problem in your main sewer line.

Your Toilet Is Overflowing

An overflowing toilet or one that takes a long time to flush can be cause for concern. A plumber or sewer cleaning company can inspect your pipes and drains to determine the cause of the problem and remedy it.

Residential Sewer Line and Drain Service FAQs

Our home sewer lines and drain systems are out of sight and out of mind, meaning we don’t always know whether they’re in good working order. We may not even know all that much about them and what we need to do to keep them in tip-top shape.

Whether you have questions about residential sewer repair, a sewer line camera inspection, or sewer and drain cleaning, Mr. Rooter Plumbing is here to answer them. We’ve also answered some of our more commonly asked questions below.

How Do Plumbers Clear Drain Clogs?

Plumbers can clear drain clogs in multiple different ways, depending on the cause of the clog, how big it is, where it is, and various other factors. Clearing drain clogs can sometimes require these approaches:

1. Inspecting the Drain

Before carrying out plumbing and sewer repair services, plumbers typically inspect the drain to see if they can spot the problem. They can sometimes visually inspect the drain but will also often use a sewer inspection camera with locator functionality to find potential clogs deep down in drain pipes.

2. Drain Snaking

If you have a drain clog featuring soft materials like soap scum, hair, and food, your chosen plumber may use a long drain snake. While it’s a typical home clog-clearing method, it’s also one that plumbers rely on! These drain snakes, also known as augers, can burrow into clogs and pull them out to have your drains flowing freely once more.

3. Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting involves the use of high-pressure water to clear tough clogs. Here at Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we provide HydroScrub® Jetting services to tackle slow-draining water and drain clogs. Our drain cleaning solution involves a large water tank, a high-pressure hose, a high-strength nozzle, and 3500 PSI of pressure to deal with solid and soft clogs.

4. Pipe Removal

Some clogs can be so stubborn that removal with drain snakes and hydro jetting isn’t always possible. In that case, your chosen plumber may recommend pipe removal. This involves removing the section of the pipe with the clog and replacing it with a new section.

Who Is Responsible for Sewer Line Repair?

Who is responsible for sewer line repair can depend on where the break or clog is. If your issue relates to the public main sewer line in the lower laterals that carry wastewater to the sewer main, your local municipality or city may be responsible.

However, if the problem is before your main sewer line in the upper laterals, the property owner may be responsible.

Does Home Insurance Cover Sewer Line Repair?

Whether or not your home insurance covers sewer line repair can depend on your insurance provider and policy. You may receive coverage to repair sewer lines if they were damaged by common causes. However, coverage may be more likely if you have an endorsement on your policy and damage relates to perils like explosions, windstorms and hailstorms, fire, lightning, vehicle damage, falling objects, and vandalism.

Sewer line endorsement coverage limits can vary by insurance provider but may cover deterioration or decay, evacuation and backfill costs, pipe replacement and repair, and more. Damages from floods, earthquakes, pests, tree roots, faulty construction, and poor upkeep are typically excluded. Ask your insurance provider for more information as coverage can vary.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Sewer Line?

Costs can greatly vary for repairing a sewer line. How much you pay can depend on where the repairs are made, such as a plumber needing to repair sewer lines under a house or out in an open yard. Your location, the pipe damage, and your chosen plumber can also factor into the cost.

How to Repair a Cracked Sewer Pipe

If your sewer pipe has been cracked by soil movement, tree roots, a clog, poor installation, or something else, you’re likely curious about how to repair it. Trained and licensed service professionals typically use two methods to repair cracked sewer pipes: traditional sewer line repair and trenchless sewer repair.

Traditional sewer line repair involves digging a trench to repair a break, while trenchless sewer line repair enables plumbers to fix a sewer line without digging a trench.

What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

If you have a cracked sewer pipe, your chosen plumber may recommend a trenchless sewer repair service, also known as ‘no dig’ sewer repair. There are many different ways trenchless sewer repair can be carried out:

1. Sewer Pipe Relining

Sewer pipe relining involves repairing a damaged pipe without replacing the whole pipe. Instead, service professionals will insert a new liner into an old sewer pipe and inflate it. The liner hardens and creates a new sewer pipe.

2. Sewer Pipe Bursting

Sewer pipe bursting describes inserting a new sewer pipe into an old sewer pipe. Once it’s in place, the old pipe is burst apart, and the new pipe is ready to take its place.

3. Sewer Pipe Spot Repairs

Does your sewer pipe only have a small amount of damage? Talk to your plumber about sewer spot repairs. A plumber can use a camera for sewer inspection to locate the damage and patch the hole.

Is Sewer Camera Inspection Worth It?

Sewer camera inspections are becoming more commonplace as technology advances. However, not every homeowner or soon-to-be homeowner is convinced of their worth. If your plumber offers a sewer camera inspection service, consider it for the following reasons:

1. Preventative Maintenance

A camera sewer inspection can provide insight into potential problems that might become costly issues if you don’t address them. Taking a proactive approach may save you money and stress.

2. Peace of Mind During the House-Buying or Selling Process

Many home inspection companies and plumbers now offer sewer camera inspection services for homeowners and soon-to-be homeowners. Homeowners can learn about possible problems that may hold up the selling process when they put their houses on the market so they can rectify them in advance. Home buyers may also choose to purchase a sewer inspection service to highlight any potential problems they may want to be aware of before proceeding with a sale.

3. Accurate Diagnosis

Many symptoms of plumbing problems can be vague. You may know something is wrong but are unsure where to start your search. Sewer camera inspections can identify problems in specific locations so you can enjoy more accurate and effective repairs with your chosen service professional.
