FAQs
How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?
Typical warning signs include multiple drains slowing or backing up at the same time, gurgling sounds coming from toilets when other fixtures drain, water pooling around basement floor drains, and strong sewer odors inside or outside the home. If you notice any combination of these symptoms, call us right away—ignoring them can lead to a complete blockage and wastewater overflow.
What causes main line backups in Winchester homes?
The most common culprits we find locally are invasive tree roots, aging clay or cast-iron pipes that have cracked or collapsed, heavy grease buildup from kitchens, and flushed items like wipes or feminine products that never fully break down. Winchester’s older housing stock and mature tree canopies make root intrusion and pipe deterioration especially prevalent in certain neighborhoods.
Are video camera inspections really necessary to diagnose the problem?
Yes. A high-resolution sewer camera lets us see the exact location, cause, and extent of damage without digging up your yard. This precision means we can recommend the most cost-effective solution—whether that’s hydro-jetting to clear grease, root cutting, or a sectional liner for a broken spot—saving you time, mess, and money compared to guess-and-check methods.
What trenchless repair options do you offer and will they work for older Winchester properties?
We provide both cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining and pipe bursting. With CIPP, a resin-soaked liner is inserted and hardened inside the existing pipe, creating a joint-free, corrosion-resistant new pipe. Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE pipe through while breaking the old one outward. Both methods require only small access pits and typically keep landscaping, walkways, and historic stone walls intact—ideal for Winchester’s established homes.
How soon can Reliable Solutions Plumbing respond to a main line emergency?
We have technicians on call 24/7. For urgent main line stoppages we aim to arrive anywhere in Winchester within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped with drain machines, hydro-jetters, and camera gear so we can diagnose and start clearing the blockage on the first visit.
Will my homeowners insurance cover main line repair or replacement?
Policies vary, but most standard homeowners insurance excludes damage to the pipe itself unless it was caused by a sudden, covered peril (for example, a lightning strike). However, many policies do cover resulting water damage inside the home. We’ll provide detailed inspection reports and photos you can submit to your insurer, and we can work directly with adjusters to document the claim if coverage applies.
