With the right tools and experience, we help homeowners prevent costly damage and keep their plumbing systems flowing properly.

1.Root intrusions 

Tree root intrusion – Tree roots are one of the leading causes of sewer backups in our area. Over time, roots naturally seek out moisture and can grow into sewer lines through small cracks, leaks, or loose fittings. Once inside the pipe, they continue to expand and can quickly lead to serious blockages and damage.

2. Improper Slope 

Improper sewer line pitch – If a sewer line does not have the correct slope, solid waste can settle and build up in one area, leading to larger clogs over time. On the other hand, if the slope is too steep, water can move too quickly and leave solid waste behind, which can create the same buildup and blockage issue

Sewer Leaks

Defective or aging materials – Clay, Orangeburg, concrete, and cast iron pipes are often at the end of their service life in many older homes. If your plumbing system uses any of these materials, you may begin to experience frequent problems such as leaks, cracks, root intrusion, or recurring clogs.
