Drain & Sewer Services: We’ll Keep Your Home Flowing Freely

Drain & Sewer Clearing

A clogged drain is one of the most common plumbing issues in American households. Our drains and sewers collect all kinds of debris, including hair, grease, soap scum, and cooking oil. Debris in your drain can lead to slow drainage or a complete blockage. We utilize the latest technology to clear your drains and sewer lines, CCTV camera inspections and hydrojetting are two techniques that offer quick and efficient drain clearing.

Sewer System Backups

Sewer system backups constitute a plumbing emergency, as waste is at risk of entering your home. Backups occur when your wastewater is prevented from flowing freely and begins to back up into your toilets and drains. Sewer backups are caused by:

• Grease Build-up: As grease cools, it solidifies and gradually accumulates in your drain.
• Tree Roots: Tree roots are drawn to water and can cause cracks and blockages.
• Foreign Objects: Flushing objects apart from human waste and toilet paper can cause your sewer to back up.

Hydro Excavation

Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water to remove soil in and around your sewer lines. Our Hydrojets blast dirt from anywhere between 1,500 and 4,000 PSI. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise excavation and minimizes landscape damage. It’s a great way to access pipes and sewers that may be in a sensitive area. Hydro excavation is also effective in clearing clogs such as debris and tree roots. The use of precision water jets will leave your property tidy and your drains beautifully clean.

Tunneling

Tunneling allows our technicians to access your broken pipe or sewer without hindrance. In many cases, we use hydro-excavation and a vacuum to break up the ground and remove it. This enables our team to tunnel without making a mess around your home. Where hydro-excavation isn’t possible, we may use a boring machine to tunnel out a horizontal passage.

Trenchless Pipe Repair & Replacement

Pipes are often damaged by tree roots, ground movement, or corrosion. Luckily, a broken drain doesn’t always require a major excavation. At Art, we offer pipe-lining repair technology. In this process, we insert a liner or sleeve into the affected area. The liner is coated with epoxy and slowly inflated over the old line. Once inflated, the epoxy takes on the shape of the pipe and self-cures. Within a few hours, the epoxy hardens and provides you with an extra-strong lining. This minimally invasive approach is gaining popularity among our clients.

Sewer Repair

Sewer lines can be damaged by several environmental factors. These include root invasion, moving soil, or corrosion.

In the case of a smaller break, our technicians will implement a spot repair. Spot repairs make sure of clamps and epoxy patches for minimally damaged sections. If a larger section is damaged or corroded, we may need to conduct a partial sewer replacement. This involves removing and replacing a section of the sewer. You can rest knowing we’ll find the least invasive approach when repairing your sewer.

Backfilling

Backfilling is an important practice to ensure proper ground settling. When sewer lines are accessed and repaired, the surrounding ground is opened up using tunneling. Backfilling involves replacing and compacting soil into the trench to create firm support for the ground. Our plumbing team will place backfill evenly on both sides of the sewer and tamp accordingly. This ground must be tamped to prevent crumbling at a later stage.

Hydrojetting

Hydro-jetting is a versatile drain-cleaning technique for various types of pipes and clogs. Hydro-jetting can clean several types of drains in residential and commercial systems. These include PVC, cast iron, and clay pipes. It can tackle even the toughest clogs, such as those caused by root intrusion or years of grease accumulation. This versatility makes hydro-jetting a reliable option for severe blockages and routine maintenance. Hydrojetting is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Our drain and sewer services frequently involve the use of hydrojetting on-site.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining is a newer technology that relines damaged drain pipes. Our technicians perform pipe relining from above the ground. This removes any invasive excavating or digging in your yard. CCTV equipment allows our teams to get a clear visual of your underground pipes. The secret of our pipe relining is that it uses a resin that cures pipes from the inside out. As the resin dries, it bonds, leaving your pipes even stronger than before. It’s trenchless technology at its best.
