  • Your sewer line is among the most vital aspects of your plumbing system, responsible for removing wastewater from your house. Over time, grease can build up, tree roots can intrude, mineral deposits can build up, and foreign objects can accidentally be flushed and become stuck in the pipe. If unattended, blockages can result in far-reaching drainage issues, water damage, and potentially even structural issues.

  • We diagnose and fix these issues by using a video camera inspection that will help us find out the exact location and cause of the blockage. This step guarantees the most effective and least invasive solution to restoring your sewer line. For severe clogs, we use HydroScrub® Jetting, which blasts away stubborn buildup with high-pressure water; we can also break up smaller obstructions with a standard drain snake. For more severe cases that require pipe damage repairs, we provide LightRay Trenchless Relining, an innovative process for sewer pipe replacement that is less invasive and does not call for excessive digging.

What Causes Sewer Line Backups?

A sewer line backup is among the most difficult and undesirable plumbing problems a homeowner can face. When wastewater has nowhere to go, it can back up through toilets, sinks, and floor drains, causing severe damage and creating unsanitary conditions. We often hear all of the following common causes of sewer backups.

Without a doubt, tree roots are the top cause of sewer line issues. As trees grow, their roots naturally search for moisture, and underground sewer pipes pose an inviting target. Over time roots can invade pipes causing blockages, cracks, and even pipe failures. Another major culprit is grease buildup. When cooking fat is drained, it cools down and hardens in the pipes, leading to hordes of thick sludge that blocks the water flow and causes clogs. Wipes, paper towels, and hygiene products are non-flushable, everything we throw into the toilet can collect in the sewer line and cause major blockages. Older or degraded pipes can also break or collapse from shifting soil, extreme weather, or natural wear and tear. Heavy rain and flooding also can overwhelm municipal sewer systems, leading to backups that can affect entire neighborhoods.

  • Tree Root Intrusion – Roots are naturally drawn to moisture, and can invade sewer pipes leading to cracks, blockages, and pipe failures.
  • Grease Build-up—When we cook, we use fatty materials such as oil and butter, which solidify in our pipes over time, creating a blockage.
  • Non-Flushable Items – Wipes, towels, and hygiene products can build up in sewer lines, causing tough-to-dislodge clogs.
  • Aging or Damaged Pipes —Older pipes may collapse or crack if the soil shifts, extreme weather occurs, or they suffer general wear and tear.
  • Heavy Rain & Flooding — Too much water can cause municipal sewer systems to overflow, causing widespread backups in homes.
