Main Line Cleaning
Main Line Cleaning
A good comparison to understand your house's drainage system will be thinking of a tree. A tree has a main trunk and branches attached to it, the drainage system works in the same way. There is a mainline pipe that all the lines (branches) will connect to. In a tree if the trunk is affected all branches will be affected, if the main sewer line is affected, the entire drainage system of the house will be affected.
The first place that a clog will be noticed will be at the lowest point of the house, showing up in places like floor drains, basement showers, toilets, and laundry sinks. If lower levels in a house are not visited frequently the flood will not be noticeable until it creates major damage or an awful smell all throughout the house.
Here at IG Sewer and Drain Cleaning Services all our sewer drain professionals are uniform and highly trained to help you with any main sewer line clogged. Generally, we will first determine the best place to access the sewer line in order for us to restore the flow with the mechanical snake. The mechanical snake does a great job in what it is designed to do, which is to restore the flow; unfortunately, the mechanical snake does not solve the problem nor diagnose the issue. After the flow is restored a sewer camera will be used to determine the cause of the clog and provide more efficient ways of cleaning the line, and different options for a permanent solution.
