If you want to extend the life of your drain pipes and drains, have them professionally cleaned on a regular basis. This keeps them clean and working as they should. The money spent on cleanings is far less than replacements, so it's a smart investment.

Clogged drains often require the services of a professional to clear them up. Extend time between cleanings by never putting cooking oil or fat down the kitchen sink (these solidify inside pipes) and by putting strainers in your tubs and showers to prevent soap and hair from going down the pipe.

How do drain line cameras work? The camera is enclosed in a watertight case resistant to corrosives and solvents. Bright LED lights illuminate pitch-black pipes, so the camera can capture real-time imagery, and fiber optic cable transmits the images to a viewing monitor.

Did you know that old sewage pipes corrode because the sewage often has an acidic quality to it? This corrosion can end up breaking down your lines, so it’s important to stay on top of it. One of the best ways to ensure the integrity of your pipes is with periodic video sewer drain inspections.

There are several environmental conditions that can end up damaging your sewer pipes, thereby causing damage throughout your entire plumbing system. These include root systems interfering with the flow of the pipes and soil erosion from rains.

If drains are clogged, and you have a septic system, open it up, and have a look. High sludge levels or floating scum can cause drainage problems and backups. The best solution is to have the tank inspected and serviced, since the problem is not actually with the drains.

As a homeowner in an older neighborhood, sewer lines are a concern. Why? You’re responsible for the pipe that runs from the house to the street, and old pipes made of cast iron, clay, or wood fiber are susceptible to crushing, cracking, corrosion, and blockages.
