Signs of Sewer Drainage Problems
Watch for these signs of sewer drain problems:
- Foul odors
- Water stains
- Standing water in tubs and showers
- Slow drainage throughout the home
- Wet areas on your property
- Backup or overflow in fixtures
What Causes a Sewer Backup?
Sewer backups can be caused by a variety of factors. Items that shouldn’t be flushed get stuck or clumped in your sewer, causing a slow-down or a blockage.
Common sewer backup causes:
- Grease
- Hair
- Soap
- “Flushable” wipes
- Hygiene products
- Expandable foods like rice, pasta, and coffee grounds
- Invading tree roots
Avoid putting these things down the drain to keep your pipes healthy and clear.
Dauenhauer’s Expert Main Line Sewer Cleaning
Dauenhauer expertly cleans out mainline sewer pipes in Louisville and Lexington. Even if your sewer backs up at 3 a.m., we have your back. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services, day or night.
Our advanced pipe inspection video cameras help us locate and diagnose problems on the spot. The recordings are kept for your future reference.
A video pipe inspection will help us determine whether your sewer line blockage can be resolved with noninvasive methods like snaking or water jetting, or if there is significant damage such as a break, that will require pipe lining or repiping.
Sewer Line Snaking
Plumbing snakes are used to push through clogs and then are spun to try and clear out as much of the clog as possible. These flexible metal lines are pushed through the pipes and attached to a rotary device, which then spins the metal lines rapidly to push the line around the pipe in all directions.
Sewer Line Hydro Jet Cleaning
With advanced pipe-cleaning equipment, we can thoroughly flush a pipe through a process called hydrojetting. We hook up large water pressure devices that powerfully push water down pipes. This pressurized water blasts through clogs and blockages, thoroughly cleaning the pipes.
Hydro jetting is typically a little more expensive than standard snaking, but it cleans the pipes much more thoroughly, resulting in longer-lasting clear pipes.
Sewer Section Replacement
While the vast majority of clogs can be dealt with by snaking or hydro jetting, stubborn blockages occasionally occur. In the event of a large blockage, a portion of your sewer line may need to be excavated and replaced.
If there is a major tree root invasion, or your sewer line is too deteriorated to be useful, you may require a sewer replacement instead.
Louisville’s MSD Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement Program
MSD’s Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement Program allows homeowners to finance at no interest the replacement of their old, fragile sewer lines with modern, durable PVC sewer lines. These older sewer lines are often constructed of clay and prone to root invasion, leading to sewer drainage issues. Dauenhauer Plumbing Heating & Air is an approved contractor for the MSD Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement Program.
