Your sewer lines are more vital to your property’s well-being than you might realize. A damaged sewer line can lead to significant complications and hefty repair costs. Since these lines are typically buried underground, diagnosing and addressing problems can be challenging. Our team at PlumbersSanJose is equipped with top-tier tools to effectively troubleshoot and repair your sewer lines.
Handling over 20 drain calls daily, we’ve encountered virtually every sewer issue imaginable. Our state-of-the-art camera equipment allows us to inspect your sewer lines thoroughly and offer cost-effective solutions. Sometimes, a simple drain clearing with our specialized snakes or sewer cables does the trick. For more severe blockages, our Hydroflusher is ready to tackle the problem head-on. There’s no sewer job too big or small for us to handle.
Difference Between Snaking And Hydroflushing A Drain?
When it comes to clearing a blocked drain, choosing between a standard sewer machine (also known as a snake) and a hydroflusher depends on the severity and nature of the clog.
A sewer snake is a metal cable powered by electricity that’s used to break through most common blockages. It’s our go-to tool because it handles about 85% of all drain issues efficiently and cost-effectively.
On the other hand, a hydroflusher uses a high-density rubber hose to blast water at pressures up to 8,000 PSI through your drain, clearing even the toughest clogs. But we typically bring in the hydroflusher only when:
There’s a heavy buildup of grease in the line
The blockage is located over 100 feet away
The clog is too severe for the snake to handle
At PlumberSanJose, we always try to start with snaking because it’s quicker and far less expensive than hydroflushing. But if that doesn’t get the job done, don’t worry — we’ve got our hydroflusher ready to go, ensuring your drains are cleared no matter what.
What Is A Clean-Out?
Sewer cleanouts are essential access points to your property’s main sewer line, facilitating easier maintenance and prompt repairs. Typically, these cleanouts are located in various spots around your property, such as the lawn or embedded in concrete areas. If your home lacks a cleanout, it’s highly advisable to have one installed. Without this access, plumbers may need to undertake more invasive procedures to address sewer issues, potentially leading to increased labor and higher repair costs. citeturn search
How Do You Know When Your Sewer Line Is Failing You?
One of the clearest signs of a sewer issue is frequent drain clogs. Maybe it’s just one sink acting up — or maybe it’s the whole house. Either way, it’s probably time to have your sewer system inspected.
You might also hear strange gurgling sounds when flushing the toilet or draining a sink — another red flag.
And if you’ve peeked into your crawl space and noticed any signs of leaks, don’t wait. It’s time to call PlumbersSanJose and get it checked out before it turns into a bigger problem.
