SEWER CLEANING MAINTENANCE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA

Most sewer problems do not happen all at once. They usually begin with a partial clog or a cracked pipe that becomes worse over time. Catching these issues before there is a backup or leak that needs immediate attention can be less costly in the long run. Once a sewer is malfunctioning, not only will it need to be quickly repaired, it can also cause additional damage to your home and property.

One way to avoid issues is to have the sewer system inspected every three to five years to ensure that all the pipes are in good working order and have not become damaged or clogged. SF Sewer & Rooter provides camera or video inspections to look through the interior of the sewer system and identify issues before they become larger problems. This is especially useful on older homes that may have clay pipes that can crack and slowly deteriorate, allowing water to seep in and out, damaging the pipe further.

Often pipes become partially clogged or corroded over time from debris and grease that has become lodged in the pipe walls. If pipes become completely clogged, it can lead to bursting pipes, backed up sewer water and leaks in the home. An alternative to replacement is to have pipes cleaned out using hydrojetting. By using high-powered water streams, the inside of the pipes are cleared of debris and small roots that have worked their way into the pipes.
