Offsets: These misalignments can occur wherever there is a junction in the system. Common places include the city tap, where your sewer line meets the municipal sewer main; the transition point where the line passes through your foundation and exits your home; and at the open junctions between old clay pipes. Tree Root Infiltration: Given enough time, tree roots can break through solid rock. Hairline cracks can develop in a pipe which can give roots just enough of a foothold to begin widening the crack. This can eventually destroy the pipe unless dealt with early enough. Distorted or Collapsed Pipe: As people from California and Japan well know, soil has a tendency to move around. As it fills with water during the winter and dries out during the summer, it can settle, moving your sewer line with it. During this settling, pipes can twist, become unaligned, and even start to collapse. Pipes can also collapse when trucks or heavy machinery are driven over them. Clogs and Blockages: Years of hard use can leave a residue of waste and food matter in a sewer line, not to mention things such as toys and hair clippings that shouldn’t ever be flushed down a toilet. When that buildup begins to block the line, you have a recipe for disaster. We can find those potential clogs and clear them quickly, preventing future problems.

Taking the Next Step with our Reliable Boston Plumbers

Once we’ve uncovered your sewer line’s dirty little secrets, we can help you take the next step toward preventing those little (or maybe medium-sized) problems from becoming catastrophic emergencies. Assuming the pipe is structurally sound, cleaning the pipes with a powerful hydrojet is a good choice. In the simplest possible terms, a hydrojet is basically a souped-up power washer that delivers ultra-high pressure that can actually cut through materials such as plastic or wood. The gunk and debris in a sewer line stand no chance against it. Unfortunately, there’s a chance that the damage requires more extensive repair. That means determining the length of pipe that needs to be replaced, then uncovering the line and making the fix.
