Step 1: Diagnosis & Drain Camera Inspection
We start with a drain camera inspection to locate the clog and assess pipe condition. This gives us a live video feed of the interior of your sewer line.
Step 2: Drain Snaking or Power Augering
For common blockages, we use high-torque drain snakes to mechanically clear debris, roots, and hardened buildup from your pipes.
Step 3: Sewer Line Cleaning with Hydro Jetting (If Needed)
For major or recurring issues, we recommend hydro jetting, which blasts high-pressure water through the pipe to remove all residue, grease, and root growth. This is ideal for long-term performance.
Step 4: Post-Cleaning Inspection
We perform a follow-up camera inspection to ensure the line is fully cleared and intact.
Step 5: Maintenance Plan or Repair Recommendations
If your sewer line is damaged, sagging, or collapsing, we’ll provide honest recommendations for trenchless sewer repair or replacement.
