Is Your Oakland Sewer Line in Trouble?
Warning Signs of a Main Line Clog
A clog in your main sewer line is a serious issue that affects your entire home. If you notice these symptoms, it’s crucial to call a professional immediately to prevent a sewage backup.
Common Symptoms:
- Multiple drains (sinks, showers, tubs) are backing up at the same time.
- You hear strange gurgling sounds coming from your drains or toilets.
- Flushing a toilet causes water to back up into your shower or bathtub.
- A persistent, foul sewage odor is present in or around your property.
- There are unusually soggy or lush green patches of grass in your yard.
Video Camera Sewer Inspection
Before we begin any work, we must know exactly what we’re dealing with. Our state-of-the-art video camera inspection allows us to see deep inside your sewer line in real-time. We can pinpoint the exact location and cause of the problem—be it invasive tree roots, grease buildup, or a cracked pipe—eliminating guesswork and allowing for a precise solution.
High-Pressure Hydro Jetting
For the most thorough sewer cleaning possible, hydro jetting is the ultimate solution. This powerful process uses high-pressure water jets to scour the inside walls of your pipes, completely removing years of accumulated grease, sludge, scale, and even aggressive tree roots. It doesn’t just poke a hole through the clog; it restores your pipe to its optimal diameter and flow.
Professional Sewer Snaking & Augering
For certain types of blockages, traditional professional sewer snaking is a highly effective method. Our powerful augers can break up and remove solid obstructions to quickly restore drainage to your home, often serving as a critical first step before a more thorough cleaning.
Preventative Sewer Line Maintenance
Many older Oakland homes are susceptible to recurring sewer problems due to aging pipes and mature trees. Our preventative maintenance program, including regular inspections and cleanings, is the smartest way to avoid a future emergency, giving you peace of mind year-round.
