FAQs
What are the common causes of a stubborn clog in the main sewage line?
Stubborn clogs in the main line are typically caused by the buildup of grease, hair, soap scum, and other debris over time. Tree root intrusion and shifting soil can also lead to blockages. In older homes, deteriorating pipes or improper use of the plumbing system, like flushing non-degradable items, can make clogs more persistent.
How can I tell if my main line is clogged?
Signs of a main line clog include slow draining water in multiple fixtures, frequent backups, unusual gurgling sounds in your plumbing, and foul odors emanating from drains. Often, if more than one fixture in your home is affected at the same time, it indicates that the blockage is in the main line.
What methods do you use to clear a stubborn clog in the main line?
Our technicians in Jonesborough use a combination of advanced techniques to clear stubborn clogs. These may include high-pressure water jetting, drain rodding, and, in some cases, hydro-jetting to thoroughly remove the blockage. We always start with a comprehensive inspection using a high-resolution camera to identify the issue accurately before selecting the appropriate method.
How long does the process of clearing a main line clog usually take?
The duration depends on the severity and location of the clog, but most main line clogs can be cleared within one to two hours. In cases where additional repairs are required or the blockages are severely entrenched, the process might take longer. Our technicians always work efficiently while ensuring a thorough job, and they will explain the expected timeline during the initial assessment.
Will I need to undergo any repairs after clearing the clog?
In many cases, once the clog is cleared, your plumbing will return to normal operation without the need for additional repairs. However, if the blockage has caused damage to the pipes or if persistent issues like tree root intrusion are identified, further repairs or pipe replacement may be necessary. We will inform you of any required repairs and provide a detailed estimate before proceeding.
How can I prevent future main line clogs in my home?
Preventing future clogs involves proper maintenance and mindful usage. Avoid disposing of grease, large food particles, and non-degradable items in your drains. Regular maintenance, including drainage inspections and periodic cleaning, can help catch early signs of buildup before they develop into major issues. Additionally, if your property is surrounded by trees, consider routine inspections to monitor for root intrusion.
