Drain & Sewer FAQs

  • How does a sewer camera inspection work?

    A specialized flexible camera cable with an HD camera head is fed through your sewer cleanout port to stream real-time footage of your pipe interior.

  • Why do chemical drain cleaners fail to fix recurring clogs?

    Chemical cleaners only burn small holes through minor hair or soap blockages while leaving heavy grease, tree roots, and pipe scale behind.

  • What causes main sewer lines to clog continuously?

    Main sewer clogs are commonly caused by tree root intrusion, accumulated cooking oils and grease, non-flushable wipes, or sagging pipe segments underground.

  • How far down your sewer pipe can the camera inspect?

    Video inspection cameras extend up to 100–200 feet along the lateral line, easily reaching the main municipal street connection.

  • What should I do if water backs up into my shower when I flush the toilet?

    Stop using all water immediately and turn off main fixtures, as this indicates a main sewer line stoppage requiring professional clearing.
