Sewer Televising

We feed a 200-foot push reel with a camera into the pipe to find the obstruction - and to catch a bigger problem developing, so you can fix it now instead of later. The camera also maps and locates the line.

Access to a live technician at all times means you aren't left guessing. 20 years of sewer experience have honed our insight into how sewer systems operate, as well as how they malfunction.

Sewer Televising Process

Sewer Jetting

We power-wash the pipe with a highly pressurized hose, clearing sludge, oils, grease and waste without damaging the pipe.

Sewer Jetting Equipment

Sewer Rodding

We drive a steel cable with a cutting head to the main - the septic tank or the city sanitary sewer - to clear roots and stubborn clogs. We'll let you hear the cable spinning in the pipe - so you know the clog is really gone.

Kitchen Sink Backup

Kitchen Sink Backup

F.O.G.S. (Fats, Oils, Grease, Soaps)

The most common culprit for a kitchen sink backup is F.O.G.S. Over time, these materials solidify and choke the pipe. We rod through your kitchen line all the way to the 3"-4" main pipe to ensure the blockage is completely cleared and your water flows freely again.

The Mobile Service Center

Most providers aren't equipped to televise, jet, and rod in one stop. We built our mobile service center to carry everything to diagnose and fix your problem right then and there.
