Common Drain and Sewer Problems in Residential Homes
Everyday use contributes to the buildup of soap scum, grease, hair, and other debris in drain lines. Over time, this accumulation narrows the pipes, leading to sluggish drainage and eventually blockages. Further down the line, main sewer lines can face more complex issues, such as:
Causes of Blockages and Damage
- Tree root intrusion
- Cracks or breaks due to shifting soil or aging
- Blockages from non-flushable items or accumulated grease
Detecting these problems early through a professional inspection by Power Pro Plumbing can prevent costly repairs and property damage.
Professional Drain and Sewer Solutions from Power Pro Plumbing
Addressing drain and sewer issues requires specialized tools and expertise. While minor clogs might be temporarily resolved with plungers or drain snakes, stubborn blockages or deeper problems require professional services. At Power Pro Plumbing, we offer a range of expert services tailored to your home's specific needs.
Drain Cleaning Services
One of the most effective methods to clear drain blockages is through professional Drain Cleaning. This service targets clogs in sinks, showers, tubs, and floor drains. Our technicians use advanced tools to reach deep into pipes, removing obstructions manual methods can't reach. Regular drain cleaning ensures smooth water flow and helps prevent unexpected backups.
Sewer Camera Inspection
When the cause or location of a blockage is unclear, Sewer Camera Inspection offers a non-invasive diagnostic method. A high-resolution camera is inserted into the sewer line, transmitting live footage to a monitor. This allows our technicians to:
- Identify the exact location and nature of blockages
- Detect cracks, leaks, or root intrusions
- Assess overall pipe condition
With Power Pro Plumbing’s precision inspections, repairs can be accurately targeted, eliminating guesswork.
Hydro-Jetting for Stubborn Blockages
For severe blockages, especially in main sewer lines, Hydro-Jetting is often the preferred solution. This method uses high-pressure water to blast away grease, sediment, mineral deposits, and even tree roots. It’s a powerful, efficient way to restore your pipe’s interior diameter and performance. We often recommend hydro-jetting following a camera inspection for optimal results.
Repair and Replacement Options to Restore System Integrity
Even with regular maintenance, damage to pipes may occur, requiring timely repairs or replacements to prevent worsening issues.
Pipe Repair Services
At Power Pro Plumbing, we offer comprehensive Pipe Repair services to resolve:
- Leaks and cracks
- Corrosion
- Structural breaks
Depending on the severity, we may patch the area or replace entire sections. Our goal is to restore your system’s performance while preventing water damage and health risks from sewage leaks.
Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replace
For more severe issues in the main sewer line, Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement offers a less disruptive solution than traditional excavation. This modern method minimizes digging by using:
- Pipe Lining: A durable liner is inserted and cured inside the existing pipe
- Pipe Bursting: A new pipe is pulled through while breaking apart the old one
These techniques reduce damage to landscaping and structures, making them a preferred choice for Walnut Park homeowners.
