Sewer Line Maintenance
Sewer lines are an important part of a home’s plumbing system. They carry wastewater away from the house and into the municipal sewer system. Regular maintenance can help to prevent problems such as clogs, leaks, and backups.
- Inspecting sewer lines: A plumber can use a camera to inspect the inside of sewer lines and identify any problems.
- Cleaning sewer lines: Sewer lines can be cleaned using a variety of methods, including hydro jetting and snaking.
- Repairing sewer lines: Sewer lines can be repaired using a variety of methods, including trenchless repair and pipe bursting.
How Long Does it Take to Clean Out a Sewer Line?
The time it takes to clean out a sewer line will vary depending on the severity of the clog. A simple clog may only take a few minutes to clean, while a more severe clog may take several hours or even days.
In most cases, a plumber will be able to clear a clog using a hydro jetter. A hydro jetter uses a high-pressure stream of water to break up and remove clogs. If the clog is particularly stubborn, the plumber may need to use a snake. A snake is a long, flexible cable that can be inserted into the sewer line and used to break up and remove clogs.
Once the clog has been removed, the plumber will flush the sewer line with water to make sure that it is clear. They may also recommend that you have your sewer lines cleaned on a regular basis to prevent future clogs.
