Common Signs of a Sewer System Backup

Servicing Tree Root Intrusions
Tree roots grow towards leaking pipes and condensation in search of hydration. They can quickly grow through tiny spaces and wreak havoc in your plumbing system. This growth often leads to larger holes that result in clogged pipes. We offer multiple services to address tree root intrusions, including:
- Pipelining – Our professionals use a sleeve to seal your sewer pipe and resolve any leaking problems.
- Hydro Jetting – We clear your pipes with high-power pressurized water jets.
- Rooter Work – Rooter work and drain cleaning include punching through tree roots to restore the sewer line functionality.
- Maintenance – We offer routine plumbing maintenance to inspect and clean drains to help prevent future problems.
When to Call Our Professionals
We recommend contacting our service professional team as soon as you notice any signs of plumbing problems. Raw sewage backup can cause health issues and property damage. We typically attempt to open your home’s drains with a cable device or special drain auger. Our team then uses innovative methods if these tools do not work properly. We work quickly to resolve plumbing issues and open your drains.
Septic System Backup Warning Signs
Septic tank backups can cause system-wide problems in your home. The most common warning signs you may have a septic system backup include the following:
- Black, foul-smelling liquid in your drains and toilets
- Slow-flushing toilets
- Slow-moving drains
- Abnormal pools of water in your yard
- Bacteria in your well
- Algae growing near your home in a pond
Video Camera Inspections for Sewer Lines
Video camera line inspections are often the best way to view your pipes from the inside out. We can catch damaged areas with our video cameras. Our video cameras are pushed through the line with a snake that is connected to a video monitor. An LED light illuminates the area to expose any plumbing problems.
