A sewer backup is a traumatic situation which sometimes causes property damage and at the least stinks up the house. Because sewage backing up into the house is so traumatic, some plumbers will take advantage of this experience to sell expencive re-pipe jobs. A sewage backup does not mean that your pipes are broken. Call Seattle Sewer Inspection to clean out your pipes and to inspect their condition. We will be able to give you an un-biased evaluation of the condition of your pipe.
If you do have a backup in the side sewer line we can clear out the problem using a cable with a cutter head on the end which mechanically drives through the line punching through the obstruction. This service will clear a path for our camera to follow and enable an inspection of the line. If you have never inspected the line it is good to know whether you have a break or if you just have a root problem. If there is a break we can help explain to you what choices you have and explain the steps you need to take to solve the problem. Seattle Sewer Inspection prides itself on giving a third party evaluation. We do not fix breaks and therefore are not influenced to push for a sewer fix where none is needed. Our duel service of rooting out the line and camera inspection is comparable to other companies cost of just rooting out the line.
If root intrusion is major, Seattle Sewer Inspection can act to provide a maintenance program to proactively address the issue, or we can suggest other companies to do this service.
In some instances a side sewer line is so packed with grease, sediment and debris that a hydojetter is needed to clean out the line. The hydrojetter blasts water through the line at 3000 psi thus blasting out all debris scouring the whole pipe clean. A hydrojetter is the best way to completely clean out the line getting rid of all contaminants.
