Rooter Service In Arvada
One of the most common sewer line issues is tree root invasion. Invasive tree roots can move into the smallest cracks in your lines, growing quickly in the moist environment provided by the pipe. Eventually, this growth can block your lines entirely.
Professional services involve using special line-clearing tools like snakes and hydro jetting. Snakes can break up the roots, while hydro jetting flushes the debris down the line, clearing it so wastewater flows again.
Plumbers also add root killers through the toilet or an access point to prevent root growth in the lines. We recommend applying root killers yearly as part of your home maintenance.
Serious sewer line clogs can cause wastewater to backflow into your home. When you flush the toilet, you may notice wastewater backing up into the shower or tub. Wastewater may also come from your laundry room or basement floor drains. Rooter services are both reactive and proactive.
They provide services for unexpected sewer line issues and act as a preventive measure. You should seek hydro jetting every one to two years. Hydro jetting prevents blockages that can lead to plumbing problems by removing minor obstructions and cleaning the walls of the pipes.
We want you to know what signs to look for when you need rooter service:
- Gurgling sounds in the drains
- Sluggish drains
- Frequent drain and toilet clogs
- Sewer odors
- Wet spots in your yard
- Foundation cracks
Pipe replacement is also part of these services. Older pipes can become damaged by ground erosion and shifting, as well as corrosion from contact with acidic soil. When your sewer line is damaged, you’ll notice as soon as you step outside, usually the ground will be soft, and if you step near your sewer line, your foot will sink.
And if it has been a problem for a while, you will have lush grass near your sewer line, greener than the rest of your yard. If your sewer line has severe damage or collapsed, we will perform an excavation.
An excavation is when we dig a deep trench in your yard to uncover and replace the damaged pipes. After completing the pipe repair, we will once again perform a camera inspection to determine if the collapsed sewer line was the problem or if your sewer lines have a clog further down the line. Ignoring the problems will worsen over time and could compromise your home’s plumbing stability.
