Sewer Repair Services in Annapolis, MD
Our plumbers have been thoroughly trained to use mechanical drain cleaning machines. They can remove even the toughest blockages from your plumbing system. We can also clean the inner walls of your pipes that have built up with grease and soap scum.
Hydro-jetting is a Green Technology that uses water at a very high pressure (up to 3,500 psi) to power wash the inside of your plumbing system. By doing this high pressure cleaning, it washes away any any buildup or obstructions. We suggest our hydro-jetting service as a preventive measure to avoid difficult and costly back-ups.
With our video camera service, we can diagnose even the most severe plumbing issues. We place our camera down into your drain pipes to locate and give us a clear view of the problem.
Cameras allow us to make the most efficient recommendations for repairs. Without this technology, we would need to tear down drywall or dig up your property to locate the issue.
Common Sewer Repair Problems
Pipes Draining Slowly: Over time, the inner walls of your pipes can build up soap and grease deposits. These types of blockages can cause your fixtures to drain slowly or create major back-ups.
Kitchen Sink: Kitchen drains can become clogged with soap, grease, and food waste, causing water to drain slowly and eventually back up.
Tub and Shower: If the drain is working properly, you should never be standing in a pool of water during your shower. Tub and shower drains usually develop clogs with soap and hair buildup in the trap.
Bathroom Sink: Sink drains in the bathroom can also have hair and soap in the trap, causing blockages. Toothpaste is another thing that can cling to the walls of the pipe and build up over time. If you drop a piece of jewelry down the drain, it is important not to run any more water. Give us a call, and we will send out a technician to remove the item and return it to you.
Toilets: Many things can cause the toilet to become clogged, usually a large amount of toilet paper. If you have small children, the possibilities can be endless.
If you are experiencing any of these common sewer issues, call Guardian Plumbing today. We will dispatch one of our plumbing experts to your home or business. We should quickly locate and correct the problem using our plumbing video inspection.
Sewer Repair FAQs
If you have questions or concerns about your sewer system or repairing your sewer line, start here. Our experts have compiled common questions and answers about sewer repairs to help our clients. Contact us if you have additional questions.
Should I have my sewer lines regularly cleaned?
People only think about cleaning their sewer lines if there is a problem. However, we highly recommend having yours cleaned before problems can even develop. I suggest doing this about once a year, especially if you have recurring problems. However, every two or three years is good for avoiding problems.
Will I have to tear down walls to unclog my sewer line?
No. Guardian Plumbing will use a video camera to locate the problem. Our cameras are long and skinny to fit downpipes. Plumbing cameras are the most efficient way to locate clogs so our clients do not have to remove walls.
What can cause sewer line damage?
Several things can cause serious damage to your sewer lines. Pipes over 40 years old are at risk of tree roots invading them. Also, we often see people accidentally digging near the lines and damaging them.
Will I need to replace my sewer line?
You may need to replace your sewer line. If the damage is bad during our inspection, we may suggest replacing it instead of repairing it. We will quote you based on the best method for replacing the line.
How long does a repaired sewer line last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a repaired or replaced sewer line can last 50 years or more, depending on the materials used. Trenchless relining materials are designed to be highly durable and resistant to corrosion. Regular inspections and proper care can help extend the lifespan of your sewer system, keeping it functional for decades.
How can I prevent sewer line issues in the future?
Preventative measures include avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, using enzyme-based cleaners to reduce buildup, and having routine sewer line inspections. Avoid planting trees and shrubs near sewer lines to prevent root intrusion, and consider installing a backflow prevention device if you live in an area prone to flooding.
Your sewer system plays a major role in sanitation and disease prevention. If there are ever issues with it, you much have your sewer line repaired or replaced by a trusted and trained plumber. Guardian Plumbing offer quality sew line services in Annapolis and surrounding areas.
