Why If Your Drain Keeps Getting Clogged, You Might Have a Big Issue

October 26th, 2011 | Author: Plumber Man

Sometimes, even I’m amazed at how often we come across this exact situation on a monthly basis. It all begins with a pretty standard call to come out to a business or personal residence for a clogged drain. Once we snake the drain and things get flowing, job done right? Wrong… a week later we are out there for the same thing. As you would imagine they are not to excited to see us again, but what they don’t know is that this is a classic sign of a much bigger problem, the sewer line.

Typically this issue may not be as bad as once thought. Most clogs can be fixed by a simple snake job, however, if you need to go into the sewer line then you need a cable line that can go down the piping up to 100 feet. At the tip of this is a blade that will rotate and help to break any sediment or clogs up.

But like all things, more complications can arise, good thing you have a Phoenix plumber. If you have a sewer line that is older then you may face the fact that it can crack. This crack causes a leak and that leak needs to be fixed, but it also creates a space for junk to get clogged. Maybe you will noice that the drain dips from a sink hole or tree root. As you would imagine, this makes is very easy for junk to get clogged in that dip. Tree roots can even break through old sewer lines and that root system will clog things up every time and it will happen quickly.

When it’s possible that any of these scenarios can happen, your Phoenix plumber will have to see first hand what’s going on. I know what you’re thinking, we have to dig up the sewer line, but you’d be wrong because now we have cameras. These camera are on a camera line and they are really small. With this however we can see what the real issue is and that will help us provide better service to the customer.
