MAIN SEWER LINES

Main sewer lines are the largest drains in a home. All other household drains lead to the main sewer line. The main sewer runs underground from the house and connects to a city sewer line or a septic tank. Your main sewer line can become clogged from the debris those other household drains wash into it or by tree roots that penetrate pipe joints from surrounding soil.

If the main sewer line clogs, toilets and drains throughout your house will begin to backup. This is usually a very stressful situation for homeowners and it can happen at any time of the day or night. That's why Richards Rooter And Plumbing is your 24 hour plumbing service company.

The technician will share the video with the homeowner and present options for sewer line repair or replacement if necessary.

WHAT'S A SEWER CLEAN-OUT?

A sewer clean-out is an important part of the plumbing and drainage system. Everyone should be  aware of the location of the sewer clean out in case of a sewer backup. The Sewer Clean-Out is a pipe with a plug or cap that provides access to the inside of the sewer line so that blockage can be removed. The Sewer Rooter machine and Video Inspection Camera should always be inserted through a properly accessible Clean Out.
