Cabling or Snaking: A drain snake, is typically the first attempt to rid your drain pipes of built up sludge, food, hair, or other common drain clogging items. Drain snakes can also be used to remove tree roots from big drain and sewer pipes too. A drain snake is a long flexible metal coil that is inserted into drain pipes while it is spun at high speeds in an effort to remove obstructions in the pipe.

Water Jetting: This method can be used for more troublesome jobs and involves using powerful water pumps that shoot high pressure water through flexible hoses that are ran through your drain and sewer pipes. A specialized nozzle is mounted on the end of the hose which concentrates high pressure water on the walls of the pipes and flushes them out. This is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to clean drain pipes and it can flush debris out of even the most clogged of pipes.

Sewer Repiping: Over the life of your home the sewer lines under your home can age and need replacement. This includes kitchen, laundry, showers, tubs, and the main sewer trunks.

Line Location: If you are unsure where your sewer line, leach lines, or storm drains goes, we can camera inspect the line and map it out for you.

Sewer Video Recording: At the time of inspection our expert technicians will analyze the video in real time. The video can also be recorded for future review. Copies are available upon request for you or your insurance company if necessary. Based on the video, the condition of the pipe will be assessed. We will then be able to determine if repairs or improvements are needed. With the video recording, the action taken will be accurate. This allows for more precise repair of your pipes. Pipes should be checked regularly to make sure that everything is going well. This can be particularly beneficial for commercial properties, where losing pipeline function can cause major loss of income. Rooter-Man video inspection services are cost efficient and will provide accurate results. We guarantee to fix the problems that are identified with the video inspection.

Leach Fields: Rooter man can locate your leach systems by using a camera and map them out. Rooter man can also clean and service leach systems. If your leach field needs repairs we can make those repairs to the existing leach system as well as upgrading an existing leach system.

Can you have a septic tank without a leach field?

The waste from most septic tanks flows to a soakaway system or a drainage field. If your septic tank doesn’t have a drainage field or soakaway system, the wastewater will instead flow through a sealed pipe and empty straight into a ditch or a local water course.

Tank Repairs: Rooter man can install new baffles on your existing septic tank as well as risers and lids. This will allow access to the tank and provide better aeration to the septic system. We can also seal the inside of a septic tank.

Sewer Ejector Pumps: A sewage pump which is ideal for most residential applications will only need to pump up to 20 feet of lift to a gravity sewer. A typical sewage pump installation is when there is a bathroom located in a basement that gets pumped to a gravity line which is connected to the gravity sewer or septic system. Sewage ejector pumps cost less than true grinder pumps.

Sewage Ejector Grinder Pumps: True grinder pumps will actually shred the sewage and then pump it through the pipe. The main benefit of using a sewage ejector grinder pump is that paper and other debris that get flushed down the toilet are grinded down to help flow through the sewage system more efficiently and not cause clogs in the pipes. These are powerful pumps, and until recently most sewage grinder pumps have only been available for commercial use in Santa Rosa, CA but are now available for residential usage. Grinder pumps are usually installed where the sewer is a long distance from the home, or there is a high vertical lift of more than 20 feet or so
