Having an experienced plumber check your sewer line with a TV/Video inspection will show you where sewer line problems may be lurking ready to cause you trouble when you least expect it. If your toilet is gurgling, it is definitely time to have the line inspected. When the sewer line backs up into the house it is too late to prevent a problem.
Prevention, however, begins with a TV/Video camera inspection of the sewer line. The camera will send back clear pictures of any problem, and the problem is usually tree roots. Roots can get into your sewer line by travelling 100 feet to seek water. The roots will find their way in and form a clog. Older homes have cast iron pipes which tend to rust over time and break up. This can cause a blockage, and this condition can also allow roots to get into the line. Sewer Repair in Howell NJ can fix this problem.
There are two methods of dealing with a sewer line blockage. One method is Power Rodding which involves running a series of sharp cutting blades into the sewer to chew up a clog. The Rodder is operated by power and the blades revolve quickly. This can also clean off the walls of your sewer line. This method is very effective for removing a clog or debris. It is likely that this system is needed for a very large root clog. It is more powerful than Hydro-jetting.
The other method is Hydro-Jetting which involves running a water line into the sewer with a water pressure of 3200 psi. This system relies on high water pressure to clear the clog. It will also clean the walls of the sewer line of built up grease and debris which has been trapped by the grease.
If the sewer line is broken, then you need to Sewer Repair in Howell NJ to do a trenchless sewer line repair or recommend a company that does this work. If the line is busted up so badly that blockages will continue to form, then this sewer line will need frequent cleaning. There is also the risk that sewer water will leak out into the dirt and either rise to the top or go down into the water table, or both. Contact AME Plumbing Heating & Cooling at their website.
