Sewer Cleaning Services: Rooter & Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning
What is Sewer Cleaning?
Sewer cleaning is the process of unclogging your main sewer line. The main sewer line is the part of your plumbing system that takes all the water from the drains and send it out of your house and into the sewer that your city treats. Sewer lines are bigger than your normal drains, but they usually have three reasons to require sewer cleaning:
- First, they can accumulate debris, waste, or grease you may have flushed or poured down the drain.
- Secondly, this may start with grease buildup from a pouring waste down the kitchen sink.
- Third, could be from tree roots. These roots are getting into the joints looking for water and nutrients. This is typically known as a rooter service.
What You Should Know About Your Main Sewer Line
Having an operational and efficient plumbing system is an essential component of any household. There's more to your drainage system than just pipes and drains. This is generally where unclogging comes in. Being educated about the signs you possibly need sewer repairs are essential to sustaining a healthy living environment. A sewer that's damaged or that requires cleaning can have a range of negative repercussions.
Cost of Sewer Cleaning Services in New Jersey
The cost of unblocking drain or sewer will depend on the issue and the method required. For example, unblocking a clogged toilet, bath or sink will not be as expensive as cutting roots out of your main sewer pipe.
Plumbing technicians will have to be on-site and determine the best drain services for your unique situation.
How Often Should I Cleanout My Sewer Line?
For a good precautionary measure, you should have your sewer lines cleaned every 18-22 months. If you are encountering problems more frequently than that, you may need to call a plumber and schedule a video inspection of your pipes.
Your plumber will insert a video camera down through your pipes to help visually determine what other troubles might be creating your sewer back-ups. That video inspection will then make it possible for your plumber to make the appropriate professional recommendations for a repair that is necessary to correct the problem.
