Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Richland property owners.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Richland, PA. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.
We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Richland property without any excavation.
Most residential drain cleaning jobs in Richland, PA take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the severity of the clog and the number of drains affected. Main sewer line cleaning may take longer. Our crews arrive with professional-grade snaking equipment and hydro jetting capability to handle any blockage quickly.
We recommend a sewer camera inspection every 2 to 3 years for Richland properties, or immediately if you notice warning signs like slow drains or sewage odors. Older homes in Richland with clay or cast iron pipes should be inspected more frequently. Regular inspection catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
