Many homeowners neglect their sewer line until it backs up and overflows from the toilet. This is not an exaggeration, and happens when the sewer is getting a lot of use and there is a clog blocking the passage of waste into the city line. The clog can form from tree roots penetrating the line where an opening can be found. You may not have a tree on your property, but tree roots can travel over 100 feet when seeking water.
Problems can be prevented by having a sewer repair in Portland plumbing technician do a mini-cam inspection of your line annually. This procedure will feed back pictures of the sewer line and identify a clog. Hydro-jetting uses water under extremely high pressure to clear blockages in drain lines. This is usually effective in clearing blocked drains. has experienced technicians who can not only clear a clog, but they can also tell you the condition of your sewer line. Blockages can result in a line break which will result in more problems later.
If the sewer line has collapsed, hydro jetting will not clear the line. However, the mini-cam will identify every break in the line or the portions of the line that has collapsed. A line with these problems must be repaired.
