Sewer Line Repair

When a sewer inspection identifies a line as having a problem, we recommend that a video inspection of the sewer line be completed. This will help in identifying any anomalies that may be affecting the flow of the line. If a major issue is identified, an estimate for sewer line repair or replacement will be provided to the homeowner.

This is a major decision for most homeowners as the cost can be expensive. The last thing you want is to feel pressured or rushed to make a decision. Extra time is allowed so that you don’t feel rushed and all your questions are addressed. Allright Plumbing and Heating will provide you with the drain cleaning services you need in a stress-free and wonder-free fashion.

VIDEO INSPECTION OF SEWER LINE

When you need to know the overall health of your drain or sewer system, a video inspection is warranted. Allright Plumbing and Heating has skilled technicians who are highly trained at inspecting your drain line to determine the appropriate recommendations. These recommendations will help you plan for preventative maintenance, repairs, or replacement.

You can watch, in real-time, as your sewer line is inspected with a camera! The technician will then provide you with a copy of the inspection as well as recommendations.

Some of the problems that a video inspection can identify are:

  • Broken, Cracked, or Collapsed Pipe – These types of anomalies require repair and/or replacement.
  • Offset Pipes – Sewer pipes that have become misaligned due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, etc.
  • Blockage – Tree Roots, grease, or foreign objects that are restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
  • Bellied Pipe – A section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
  • Leaking Joints – The seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the surrounding area. Broken or compromised joints also allow tree roots and dirt to impede the sewer line.
  • Root Infiltration – Tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line, preventing normal cleaning. Roots may have damaged the pipe.
  • Off-Grade Pipe – Existing pipes are constructed of substandard or outdated material that may have deteriorated or corroded.
  • Corrosion – The pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing sections to collapse and restrict water flow.

Whether you need to identify a clog in your sewer line or a home inspection completed before you purchase, Allright Plumbing & Heating can provide a video inspection of your sewer line.

HYDRO JETTING

Hydro jetting is the process of cleaning your sewer drain with high water pressure. Water pressure of between 2000 and 4000 pounds per minute is utilized to clean grease, sand, sediment tree roots, etc. that have built up over time. The use of Hydro Jetting thoroughly scrubs the line clean, leaving no debris behind.

The jetting tool works in two ways: First, as the tool moves forward, the high water pressure stream removed debris along the wall of the piping. Second, reverse water jets propel the tool down the pipe. These reverse water jets also remove debris on each and every part of the drain. As well, when the nozzle is pulled back, these reverse water jets create a force that removes any debris not yet broken up by the initial run.

Because of the use of high water pressure, Hydro-jetting completely removes any and all obstructions (eg: roots, grease, etc.) during sewer line cleaning. This allows for longer intervals between drain servicing. If roots are the problem in the line, hydro jetting limits the amount of damage.

Hydro Jetting is more effective at a longer distance.

Our jetting machine carries 500 feet of hose. The jetting hose delivers the same amount of pressure and drains cleaning quality at 50 feet as it does at 500 feet. This is in direct contrast to a snake/cable machine. The cable machine has a motor that produces a fixed amount of torque or power to run through the clog or roots. The more cable that is required to reach a clog, the less torque or power is transferred to the cutting head at the blockage. This is because the cable begins to absorb some of that energy. A traditional cable machine is primarily limited to 150-200 feet whereas the hydro jetting machine can run out 500 feet with no issues or loss of pressure. This makes it more effective for longer sewer lines as well as lines that contain many years of debris build-up or tree roots.

Large versus small hydro jetting machine.

Allright Plumbing and Heating utilizes two different jetting machines depending on your needs.

The larger machine is mounted on a trailer and pulled behind a vehicle. This machine requires a large amount of water and is used when a property has an outside cleanout only. This machine produces up to 4000 psi at 18 gallons a minute and is not safe to use inside a property. It is used to clear the main sewer line. Outside cleanouts are required to access the main sewer line to ensure safety.

The smaller machine is perfect for kitchen or interior sewer line cleaning – 3” or less. This machine delivers 1500 psi at approximately 2-3 gallons per minute. It is used to remove grease and soap build-up on smaller sewer lines such as a kitchen drain.
