Our Expert Drain & Sewer Solutions
We offer a full suite of Drain & Sewers services designed to tackle any problem, from minor clogs to major sewer line overhauls. Our goal is to restore your plumbing system's function efficiently and reliably.
Drain Cleaning
Persistent or multiple slow drains are frustrating and often indicate a blockage deeper in your plumbing system than can be reached with plungers or store-bought chemical cleaners. These cleaners can sometimes even damage pipes over time. Our professional Drain Cleaning services use specialized tools and techniques to safely and effectively remove blockages. We can clear clogs from sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, floor drains, and main sewer lines. Depending on the nature and location of the blockage, we may use drain snakes, augers, or other mechanical methods to break apart or retrieve the obstruction and restore proper flow.
Sewer Camera Inspection
One of the most effective ways to diagnose drain and sewer issues is with a Sewer Camera Inspection. This process involves inserting a high-resolution, flexible camera attached to a cable into your drain or sewer line. The camera transmits live video feed to a monitor, allowing our technician to see the inside of your pipes in real time. This non-invasive method reveals the exact location and cause of problems such as blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or collapsed sections. A camera inspection provides invaluable information, helping us determine the best course of action and avoiding unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Pipe Repair
Damaged pipes, whether from age, corrosion, ground shifting, or root invasion, can lead to leaks, reduced water pressure, and even sewage backups. Ignoring damaged pipes can cause extensive water damage to your home and property. Our Pipe Repair services address these issues directly. Based on the severity and location of the damage identified through methods like camera inspection, we can perform targeted repairs to restore the integrity of your plumbing lines. This might involve fixing leaks at joints, repairing cracks, or addressing sections compromised by roots.
Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement
Traditionally, fixing or replacing a main sewer line meant digging a long, disruptive trench across your yard, driveway, and landscaping. Our Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement services offer a less invasive alternative. Trenchless technology allows us to repair or replace damaged sewer pipes with minimal digging – typically requiring only one or two access points. Techniques like pipe bursting or pipe lining create a new, durable pipe within the old one, resolving issues like cracks, collapses, root intrusion, and leaks without destroying your property. This method is often faster, cleaner, and less disruptive than traditional excavation.
Hydro-Jetting
For severe blockages or significant buildup within pipes, standard snaking may not be sufficient. Hydro-Jetting is a powerful cleaning technique that uses a high-pressure stream of water (up to 4000 psi) to blast away stubborn clogs, grease buildup, mineral deposits, and even tree roots from the inside walls of your pipes. This process thoroughly cleans the pipe interior, restoring it to near-original diameter and flow capacity. Hydro-Jetting is particularly effective for addressing recurring clogs caused by grease accumulation in kitchen lines or sediment buildup in older pipes and is often performed after a camera inspection to ensure the pipes can withstand the pressure.
Signs You Need Drain or Sewer Service in Downey
How do you know it's time to call a professional for your drain and sewer lines? Look out for these common indicators:
- Slow Drains: Water takes a long time to drain from sinks, tubs, or showers. This is often an early sign of a partial blockage developing.
- Frequent Clogs: If you find yourself constantly dealing with clogs in the same fixture or multiple fixtures, it suggests a deeper issue in the main line.
- Gurgling Noises: Strange sounds coming from your drains or toilet when water is running elsewhere in the house can indicate trapped air caused by a blockage.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells emanating from drains might signify sewage buildup or blockages trapping waste material.
- Water Backing Up: Water coming back up out of a drain, especially after using another fixture (like flushing a toilet causing a shower drain to back up), is a clear sign of a significant blockage in a shared line.
- Wet Spots or Lush Patches in Your Yard: This can indicate a leaking or broken underground sewer line.
- Pest Issues: An increase in rodents or insects near drain or sewer lines can sometimes be linked to leaks.
If you notice any of these signs at your Downey property, addressing them promptly can prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs down the line.
