FAQs
What are the most common warning signs of a main line plumbing issue?
Slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds in toilets, sewage odors indoors or in the yard, frequent backups, and soggy patches of lawn are typical indicators that your home’s main sewer line may be compromised.
How does modern technology improve the diagnosis of main line problems?
We use high-definition video camera inspection and electronic pipe-locating equipment to visually verify blockages, cracks, and root intrusions without digging. This real-time footage pinpoints the exact location and depth of the issue, reducing guesswork, labor costs, and property disruption.
Can trenchless repair methods fix every main line defect?
Trenchless options such as pipe lining and pipe bursting resolve most root intrusion, corrosion, and minor offset problems. However, if the pipe has completely collapsed or lacks sufficient structural integrity, traditional excavation may still be required. A camera inspection determines the best solution.
How fast can you handle a main line emergency in Greenback?
Our technicians are on call 24/7. In most cases we arrive anywhere in Greenback within 60–90 minutes, perform an on-site assessment, and start mitigation—such as hydro-jetting or temporary bypass pumping—immediately to prevent further property damage.
Is video camera inspection safe for older, fragile pipes?
Yes. The cameras are attached to flexible fiberglass push rods and have rounded, low-profile heads designed to glide through cast iron, clay, and even brittle Orangeburg pipes without applying pressure that could worsen existing flaws.
What preventive maintenance helps avoid future main line backups?
Scheduling an annual hydro-jetting service, avoiding flushing wipes or grease, planting trees away from sewer routes, and installing a backwater valve all reduce the likelihood of clogs and root intrusions. We also recommend a camera re-inspection every 2–3 years to catch early warning signs.
