FAQs
How can I tell if my home’s main sewer line is clogged?
Typical warning signs include gurgling or bubbling toilets, multiple drains backing up at the same time, water pooling around basement floor drains, and a strong sewage odor in or around the house. If you notice any of these symptoms in Evensville, call our technicians immediately—waiting can lead to sewage backups and structural damage.
What common factors cause main line blockages in Evensville?
The most frequent causes are tree-root intrusion (especially from mature oaks and maples common in Evensville neighborhoods), accumulated grease and food waste, flushed wipes or hygiene products, and pipe corrosion or collapse in older clay or cast-iron lines. Seasonal ground shifts from freeze–thaw cycles can also crack pipes, allowing soil and roots to infiltrate.
What methods do your skilled technicians use to diagnose main line issues?
We start with a detailed interview about your plumbing history and symptoms, then run a high-resolution video camera through the clean-out to pinpoint the blockage or damage. If needed, we perform a hydrostatic pressure test or sonar pipe tracing to map buried lines. These non-invasive tools allow us to identify the exact problem and propose the most cost-effective repair plan.
Is trenchless repair an option for my property, and how does it work?
In many cases, yes. After our camera inspection confirms the pipe is structurally suitable, we can use pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE pipe through the old one, while CIPP involves inserting a resin-saturated liner that hardens in place. Both methods require only one or two small access pits, preserve landscaping, and typically restore full service within a day.
How quickly can you respond to a main line emergency in Evensville?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch within Evensville city limits and surrounding rural routes. A licensed technician can usually arrive within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped with augers, hydro-jetting units, and camera gear to begin immediate remediation. Our goal is to stop active sewage backups on the first visit and schedule permanent repairs at your earliest convenience.
What can I do to prevent future main line problems after the repair?
Schedule an annual camera inspection, avoid flushing wipes or pouring grease down the drain, install a backwater valve if your home is in a low-lying area, and consider root-inhibiting chemical treatments if trees are near the line. Our team will provide a personalized maintenance plan and can enroll you in our Evensville Preventive Service Program, which includes discounted jetting and priority scheduling.
