A sewer backup is a stressful event. Wastewater rises in the lowest drains, usually a basement or floor drain, because something is blocking or damaging the line. We help you stop it quickly, clean the line and then find the underlying reason, which may be roots, a collapse, a belly or a city-side problem. Our job is not just to clear it, but to explain and fix the cause.
We respond fast, clear the stoppage and camera the line. We check whether the problem is on your side or beyond. Then we recommend the cleanest fix: sealing, lining, point repair or replacement. We can also discuss backflow prevention options with a plumber for your situation.
