Understanding Common Sewer Issues in Dayton
No matter how minor a sewer problem is, it can escalate quickly. Therefore, you want to call Apex Pros. Our plumbers can reach your Dayton home fast if you have the following signs of a sewer line issue:
- Sinks and tubs drain slowly
- Multiple drains malfunction
- A toilet gurgles, clogs, or backs up
- Water pools over floor drains
- Drains smell like sewage or rotten eggs
- Your water bill goes up
- Sewage backs up into your home
There are many reasons you may need sewer pipe repair. It’s often difficult to pinpoint the nature of the problem by noting the symptoms. Our experienced contractors have the knowledge, tools, and equipment to identify common causes of sewer problems in Dayton, which include:
- Obstructed Pipe: Soap, hair, debris, cooking grease or fat, paper, and foreign objects can get into the sewer line and cause a clog. Corrosion and mineral scale can also form blockages. Call a plumber if something’s not right; store-bought drain cleaners often cause more damage to a sewer pipe.
- Damaged Sewer Line: Underground pipes can crack, collapse, or become misaligned or separated over time. Freezing and ground movement can damage sewer pipes and fittings, eventually causing a failure.
- Corrosion: As metal pipes age, they can corrode, which deteriorates the material until holes and cracks form. A corroded sewer pipe is at risk of leaking or collapsing. Replacing it with a more durable, corrosion-resistant material can provide a long-lasting solution.
- Tree Roots: Sewer lines are a source of water and nutrients that trees need to thrive. Sensing where water is, especially if there’s a leak, their roots can penetrate, fill, and crush underground pipes. The tree roots must be removed and the sewer line repaired to get your plumbing system working again.
Our Sewer Line Inspection and Diagnosis Process
State-of-the-art equipment is one reason we can provide 5 star service. Diagnosing the issue requires a sewer line inspection. For this, we use high-definition cameras attached to long, flexible cables. Seeing a blockage on a display enables our plumbers to decide the best way to remove it. The process also reveals potential problems so we can take action and avoid more costly repairs later.
Our diagnostic process is thorough. We explain what we see in clear terms so you can make an informed decision. You also get a precise and honest estimate.
Advanced Sewer Cleaning Techniques: Hydro-Jetting and More
Just because the problem is deep in a sewer line doesn’t mean we can’t resolve it quickly. At Apex Pros, we use the most advanced sewer-cleaning methods available. Hydro jetting is a deep-cleaning process that can clear heavily clogged drains and sewer lines. Using only pressurized water, it can break apart mineral deposits, soap and grease buildup, and tree roots. Rather than attempting to pull them out, the process simply flushes the remnants through the municipal sewer system.
The location of the issue helps us determine how to proceed. If the clog is in your plumbing system, our plumbers can use a drain snake to reach into a drain or toilet and remove any objects. They use various types of snakes, or augers, depending on the pipe’s length/size, the clog’s depth, and whether it’s a soft or solid material.
When providing sewer pipe or drain cleaning in Dayton, our process is fast and effective, so you can get back to your normal routine.
Trenchless Sewer Repair: Minimizing Disruption to Your Property
Apex Pros offers excavation services in Dayton. However, our plumbers prefer to repair Dayton sewer drain pipes using a trenchless approach. It’s a more modern solution that avoids digging up soil, plants, and landscaping or sidewalks and driveways. Your yard is completely preserved.
Trenchless sewer repair requires using main access points to your sewer line. From there, our technicians can reline a pipe in Dayton. The resin compound cures in place and hardens, forming a pipe inside a pipe that’s just as much or more durable than the old one.
Trenchless repairs have the following benefits:
- A much less labor-intensive process
- Sewer pipes are repaired in less time
- Eliminates costs of additional labor and materials
- No need for resodding or replanting
- Minimal risk of utility and property damage
- Use of more durable materials
- A more environmentally friendly process
Preventative Maintenance Plans to Keep Your Sewer System Healthy
Sewer line maintenance is effective at preventing plumbing emergencies and can avoid requiring sewer pipe repair or replacement. Hydro jetting is one form of preventative maintenance. It can be used to clean pipes to remove buildup that debris can stick to. To reduce the risk of clogs, slow drainage, and other problems, a professional sewer cleaning should be done every two to three years (sooner if an issue crops up).
Video camera inspections are another form of maintenance. They can help spot signs of damage such as corrosion, holes, cracks, misalignments, and sagging pipes. A plumber should periodically check on the condition of sewer lines. Finding early signs of an issue often means simpler, less costly options are available to address it.
Other ways to maintain your sewer system include the following:
- Plant trees away from underground pipes
- Install root barriers to prevent intrusion
- Don’t flush anything other than toilet paper
- Never flush wipes, cotton swabs, or personal care products
- Dispose of cooking grease and oils in the trash
- Limit the amount of food that goes into kitchen drains
- Repair damaged/failing pipes as soon as possible
