Sewer line obstructions can result in raw sewage backing up, and eventually getting into your tub, shower and the drains of your sink. Sewer line backups often cause expensive repairs. The cost to replace vanities, floors and even support joists due to an unrepaired sewer main could outweigh the cost of plumbing repair quickly, making prompt detection and repair key to keeping costs down.

There are numerous reasons a sewer line can become blocked. Excessive paper usage as well as grease and oil from kitchen waste hair, soapy residue and hair from showers and sinks can cause sewer line obstructions.

The process of unblocking the main sewer line can be accomplished by homeowners who are willing to mess up. Shut off your main water source. You will find an incredibly small, circular PVC pipe that has the cap or screw-on rubber cap. By removing the cap, you release built up pressure and cause water to drain out of (rather rather than back into) the home.

The first step of any sewer line replacement or repair in Brentwood, CA will be a professional sewer camera inspection to examine the causes of clogs and the state of the line. With a professional assessment, Brentwood Drain & Sewer Services will ensure that all repairs are done safely according to the state of the pipe.

Hydro jetting can be used to cleanse drains that aren't damaged, are prone to large scale build-up, or are surrounded by roots. By using high pressure streams of water and a specialty jetting nozzle, we can dissolve years of buildup and remove even the most stubborn roots.

If the line is damaged, hydro jetting isn't the ideal choice. Pipelining can be a cost-effective alternative if there are missing sections, small holes or cracks. Pipelining rehabilitates the line creating an indestructible and durable brand new pipe inside the old damaged line, all without the need for excavation.
