Common causes

  • Grease, soap, scale or debris remains on the pipe wall.
  • Roots have entered through a joint or damaged section.
  • The line has a low spot, offset or structural problem.
  • The original clearing opened a path without fully cleaning the line.
  • Something inappropriate continues entering the drain.

Choose the method after diagnosis

  • Cable cleaning, hydro-jetting, chain cleaning and camera inspection solve different problems. The pipe material, condition and obstruction should guide the method.

When to call

  • Call when multiple fixtures are affected, wastewater is backing up, the problem returns quickly or sewage odors appear. Avoid repeatedly adding harsh chemical cleaners.
