Sewer and Drain Cleaning

The main sewer line we are talking about here is the service line that comes off the city sewer and connects to all the drains in residential or commercial buildings. This is the drain that has to handle all the waste water flow from the whole building. All drains connect to this main line. Issues that can occur in the main line can include, root intrusion, pipe deterioration, ground shifting (causing the pipe to bulge or sag), breaks or cracks, or just general build up over time. All of these problems are treatable in one way or another. Treatments could include anything from using a proper drain cleaner to a full line replacement.

The secondary drain lines in a residence or business include any drain line that branches off the main sewer line. This can include the kitchen, laundry, floor drains, and bathroom drains. All of these drains can accumulate gunky build up over time. These drains can be annoying and irritating when they slow down or stop draining completely. The older the building, the more build up is likely to be found in the secondary drains. Maintenance on these drains is important to keep everything flowing properly.

Kitchen drains are commonly the most used drain in a house. If there is even the slightest problem in the drain line for the kitchen, it can cause the water to drain slow or even a back up. When this happens, the best course of action is usually to have the drain line snaked to restore proper flow. Depending on the material of the pipe, the drain pipe can rust or rot away, leaving a void in the bottom of the pipe. If the pipe is under ground, the only way to fix this is to expose the pipe and repair the compromised section. Using a proper drain cleaner can prevent this from happening in many cases.
