What you get from Guy Smith Home Services:
A rooter is a drain cleaning machine that completely clears clogged drains from overgrown tree roots and other debris that are difficult to reach.
Simple but effective ways to prevent clogged drains include; using a strainer in bathroom drains to catch hair, avoid pouring cooking oils and fats down your kitchen sink, and always maintain your drains with a plumbing professional. If your drains need to be cleared in the Virginia Beach, VA area, call the experts at Guy Smith Home Services today!
Rooter services typically entail snaking the drain as much as possible and using chemicals to clear any remaining debris and tree roots. However, as these chemicals can often be harmful to the Virginia Beach, VA environment, many plumbing experts prefer to utilize hydro-jetting methods to clear drains instead. Hydro-jetting forces high pressure water through the pipes to clear any additional debris. From there, your plumber may use a rooter machine to break up any roots in the plumbing pipes and flush them out.
Roots are drawn towards the water, heat, and nutrients flowing through your sewer line pipes. Subsequently, materials like toilet tissue and other debris can get caught in the tree roots and become intertwined in your sewer line. Clay pipes are the most susceptible to root intrusion, followed by concrete pipes, and PVC pipes. If you think you may have tree roots in your sewer line, never fear – call Guy Smith Home Services today!
If your sewer line is blocked, it is most likely due to an infiltration of tree roots or other debris in your pipes. The most productive way to handle a blocked sewer line is to call our certified plumbers at (757) 913-9504 immediately. Depending on how blocked your sewer line is, your plumber may have to repair or even replace your sewer line. Fortunately, sewer line replacement is a relatively quick and easy process with innovative trenchless methods.
The price of sewer and water main cleaning will vary pretty drastically depending on the extent of natural elements and infiltration. To get a better idea of what it will cost to clean out your sewer or water main, call (757) 913-9504 to speak with one of our specialists about a comprehensive price estimate!
The age of your home can play a major role in professional rooter services. If your home was built over 50 years ago, you should consider rooter services, or at the very least, a sewer line camera inspection. Older pipes are susceptible to clogs and cracks, and should be surveyed closely.
If your home still has its original plumbing pipes (particularly if the home is over 50 years old), it is highly recommended to schedule regular rooter services.
If you have a lot of foliage on your property such as trees, shrubs, bushes, or other large plants, their roots are almost guaranteed to reach your sewer line eventually. In this case, you will want to enlist our rooter services to rid of any tree root infiltrations in your sewer line. Tree roots can eventually cause a sewer line break which can have disastrous consequences on your main line!
Lastly, if you have constant backups throughout your home, your drains may require professional rooter services. If several of your toilets, sinks, and bathtub drains are constantly clogged, this is a major indication that your sewer line is in need of professional help from our crew.
