That beautiful shade tree in your yard is often the source of a clogged pipe requiring sewer line repair. That tree has thousands of roots constantly searching for moisture and warmth. Roots often cause sewer blockages by penetrating the pipe joints. Once the roots make their way to your sewer line, they will spread through your pipes. The roots will cause other debris to back up and slow things down. If the main sewer line clogs, the toilets and other drains throughout your home or business will begin to back up. This can happen at any time of the day or night.

The age of a sewer line along with general deterioration and extreme changes in temperature over a period of time can also cause a sewer line to break. And sometimes a sewer line can be improperly installed or misaligned due to the ground shifting.

Dion’s Plumbing & Heating can provide a video pipe inspection of the sewer line if it seems necessary. A small, flexible camera is placed into the line for a real time visual inspection of the sewer line. As the camera is moving through the pipe it can record the journey and the findings. Video Pipe Inspection can identify pipe damage and obstructions that prevent proper flow.
