Problem

Homeowner reported multiple slow drains throughout the house — kitchen, two bathrooms, and laundry room all draining slowly at the same time. Suspected main sewer line issue.

Solution

Camera inspection confirmed a partial tree root intrusion and grease accumulation 42 feet into the main sewer line. Full-length hydro jetting at 3,500 PSI cleared all buildup and root material. Camera re-run verified complete clearance.

Problem

Called at 11:30pm — basement floor drain backing up with sewage during heavy rain. Water rising fast. Owner feared basement flooding.

Solution

Dispatched immediately. Arrived in 55 minutes. Main sewer line was blocked by root intrusion compounded by storm surge. Used power snake to break through blockage and restore emergency drainage. Hydro jetted the full line the following morning.

Problem

Kitchen sink draining slowly for months. Homeowner had tried chemical drain cleaners and store-bought snake with no improvement. Recurring clog every 3–4 weeks.

Solution

Inspection showed severe grease buildup coating the full interior of the kitchen drain line — 28 feet of near-complete blockage. Hydro jetting at 2,800 PSI scoured the entire pipe interior. Secondary soap-and-enzyme flush after jetting.

Problem

Buyer's agent requested sewer inspection before closing on a 1965 split-level. Sellers had no knowledge of sewer condition. Standard home inspector does not inspect sewer.

Solution

Full HD camera inspection through the 4-inch cast iron main sewer line. Found a partial root intrusion 38 feet from clean-out and minor offset joint at 62 feet. Pipe otherwise in good condition — not requiring replacement.

Problem

Master bathroom shower drain completely blocked — standing water ankle-deep during every shower. Prior plumber had snaked it twice with 4-week intervals and clog kept returning.

Solution

Camera inspection revealed soap scum and hair mass had packed into a 90-degree elbow 6 feet down — a location the short snake wasn't reaching. Full snake with appropriate cable cleared the obstruction; hydro flushed after.

Problem

Backyard patio flooding every time it rained. Water entering basement through window wells. Outdoor catch basin drain not clearing fast enough to prevent pooling.

Solution

Located and cleared the catch basin inlet — packed with leaves, sediment, and debris over multiple seasons. Flushed connecting line to street. Advised homeowner on seasonal maintenance.

Problem

Sewer backing up into basement twice in two years. Previous company had snaked it both times without camera inspection. Problem returned within 3 months each time.

Solution

Camera inspection found mature root mass beginning 18 feet in — roots had been punched through during prior snaking but not removed. Full hydro jetting with root-cutting nozzle at 4,000 PSI removed all root material. Roots cut and extracted at entry point.

Problem

Laundry room floor drain backing up during washing machine cycles. Water spilling onto floor. Homeowner initially thought it was the washing machine.

Solution

Determined the issue was the floor drain pipe — 12 years of lint from the washing machine had built up a nearly complete blockage 9 feet into the drain pipe. Electric snake cleared the blockage. Flushed clean.

Problem

Camera inspection revealed a 14-foot section of 4-inch clay sewer pipe with 3 separate crack locations and root infiltration at all 3 joints. Homeowner had a newly landscaped yard and did not want excavation.

Solution

CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) lining installed through clean-out access — no excavation required. Liner cured in 3 hours. Camera verification confirmed seamless full-length pipe restoration.

Problem

First-floor bathroom: sink draining slowly and toilet gurgling when flushed. Second floor not affected. Owner concerned about a partial main line blockage.

Solution

Camera inspection showed a localized grease and soap scum blockage in the building drain at the 22-foot mark — just past the first-floor stack connection. Snaking cleared the blockage; camera confirmed full clearance.

Problem

Sewage backing up through basement floor drain during a heavy thunderstorm. Half-inch of water on basement floor. Utility items and washer/dryer at risk.

Solution

Arrived in 70 minutes. City sewer surcharge during storm combined with partial blockage in the building drain created the backup. Snake cleared the building drain blockage; flow restored. Advised on backwater valve installation.

Problem

New homeowners noticed slow drains throughout the house within weeks of moving in. Sellers had not disclosed any sewer issues.

Solution

Camera inspection found 28 feet of clay pipe with significant root intrusion — clearly a long-standing issue. Full hydro jetting and root cutting. Post-jetting camera confirmed complete clearance. Pipe otherwise structurally sound.
