24/7 Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Getting to the root of clogged sewer lines. Trees and other bushes can be the source for cracked and clogged pipes, requiring sewer repair. The tree roots are spreading out looking for water, finding your sewer, a steady source of water. Roots get into the sewer through tiny cracks or other openings extending the size as they grow stronger.
Although Clay tile pipes are most susceptible to root invasion, newer concrete or PVC pipes are also endangered through the penetration of roots. When roots penetrate your lines and spread though your pipes, they will cause debris to back up and clog the pipe before filling the pipe totally. If your drainage has started to slow down or you hear any noise from your toilet other then the regular flush, you need to take action.
Although tree roots are the number one reason for sewer line damage, there are other ways your sewer line can become clogged or broken. Foreign objects that won’t dissolve can become lodged in the line. Age, general deterioration and extreme changes in temperature over a period of time can also cause a sewer line to buckle or break. And in some instances, a sewer line can be misaligned due to ground shifting or improper installation.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Drain Masters Plumbing can provide a video sewer inspection to see if sewer line repairs are necessary. The miniature camera finds out exactly what and where the problem is without the big expense of “exploratory” plumbing. Video inspection can also confirm the structural condition of your lateral pipes. It can tell you if an auger or high-pressure flush can solve the problem, or if more extensive repairs are necessary.

Clearing The Sewer Line
The proper way to clear a sewer line is through a clean out. Some older homes in San Diego County might not have clean out access. If the clean out is not available Drainmasters Plumbing will use the camera trough the vent or the toilet flange to locate the sewer line in front. If there is root intrusion problem in the sewer line this will be good time to kill two birds with one stone and take out the section that has the roots in it and than we can put the clean out right there. This way you can add a clean out access while getting rid of the root problem. A clean out access will be useful for the future maintenance of your sewer line.
Kitchen and Laundry Lines
Same clean out access is used clearing a kitchen line. San Diego residents that live in condominiums or high rises might not have a clean out access. Drainmasters Plumbing will use a shop-vac to remove all the water out of the sink than go under the sink and remove the p-traps than we can snake the line through the waste arm that goes into the wall and clear the blockage that way.
Same procedure can be used for laundry lines which tend to back up most of the time because of soap scum, lint from the washing machine etc.
Hydro Jetting
If cabling the line is not as effective , we can clear the line by hydro jetting. Hydro jetting is clearing line with high pressure water usually between 1300 to 1500 PSI for kitchen and laundry lines and up to 3500 PSI for the sewer lines. We also use special attachments on our hydro jetting system to cut out 90% of the roots that are in the sewer line.
