Does even a minor rainstorm send you running to your basement to check for water? Odds are, it’s blockage in your drains that is causing that storm water backup.
Don’t wait for heavy rain to cause serious damage to your belongings or finished rooms. A simple examination using a sewer camera will tell you whether your sewer line is collapsed, if roots have grown into and damaged the sewer line, or if some other blockage has accumulated and clogged your line.
Plumbers using sewer cameras are able to tell quickly what your problem is, and where it is. Where once a clogged sewer line meant days of excavating to search for and repair the damage, and ultimately a ruined yard, today plumbers can limit digging to a small area right where the damage is. Less damage to your landscaping and a lesser expense are the positive results of this new technology.
Another reason to call your plumber if you suspect blockage is the relatively new ability to use jetting to clear your line. Jetting is the use of high pressure water jetted through sewer lines to break up blockage and carry the debris out of your sewer line. The process is often more effective than the traditional method of snaking a drain, which can take a significant amount of time and also can involve drawing debris out of the line into your home.
While traditional snaking is sometimes the best option, depending on the blockage and condition of your line, jetting is a great alternative that can provide an efficient solution.
