A BIG THANKS goes out to Steve for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough sewer issue.
Steve did a fantastic job remodelling this home, only to find out from a sewer scope inspection that the sewer was broken in several places from massive root intrusions.
The combined issues were too many for spot repairs, so we replaced the whole pipe 100% new.
Remember, get a sewer scope inspection BEFORE you list your home for sale, that way you won't have any surprises on inspection day.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Kelly and Troy for having the confidence in us to fix a broken sewer.
This sewer was "eggshell" pvc, the thinnest junk ever allowed for sewer pipes.
It was broken, crushed, and split.
We replaced it with a combination of SDR35 and HDPE modern code sewer pipe.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Mike at Meridian Golf Course for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough sewer problem.
The golf course is undergoing a big remodel and the contractors broke 5 of the 6 cleanout stacks in the yard area, and then stuffing carpeting, insulation, plastic bags and wooden sticks down into the pipes thinking that would fix it......wow
The clubhouse locker room flooded with sewage several times with the pipes all blocked up with this garbage.
We were able to pinpoint the debris, excavate and make repairs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Elizabeth for having the confidence in us to repair a broken sewer pipe.
A sewer scope inspection showed that this pipe had a broken hub and belly.
We were able to locate the bad section of pipe and make repairs, with a set of two way sweep cleanouts.
Outside sewer cleanouts are a big upgrade to any sewer system.
Now we have a full 4" access point for future cleaning needs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Jordan and Matt for having the confidence in us to replace a crawlspace water heater.
The old water heater was @ 15 years old and not keeping up with the demand of this large family.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Iris for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough drain repair.
Iris' washing machine and kitchen line had been backing up for years. The underground pipes were found to be cored and rotted out.
We were able to re-route the new pipe to achieve a better downhill pitch and shorten the overall run. |

A BIG THANKS goes out to Travis for having the confidence in us to tackle a full sewer replacement.
This house was under contract for sale when a sewer scope inspection found roots, a shifted hub and a broken tap at the City Main, so instead of just making spot repairs, Travis decided a whole new sewer line was the better way to go for his buyers.
Now we have a 100% new sewer service pipe from the house to the City Main.
Most of the time we can replace the whole sewer for a just a little more than making spot fixes and temporary repairs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Damon who had the confidence in us to tackle a big sewer and water project.
This old house was all original sewer and water with nothing that works.
We were able to re-route the main sewer and then give the inside finish plumbers proper access to tie in new laundry and lavatory services.
We ran our pneumatic mole from the basement out underneath the front porch, then on to the water meter pit for a 100% new water service line.

A BIG THANKS goes out to J. D. for having the confidence in us to make a full sewer replacement.
J.D. is planning a large addition on the front of his house, and in order to do so, the City requires new sewer service pipe to be installed first.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Nick for his continued confidence in us to tackle all of his big plumbing needs.
Nick just bought another 3 building apartment complex at 800 Miller Ct, but after a sewer scope inspection, it was found that there is limited to no access into the sewer pipes for routine cleanings, and the pipes are full of old growth roots.
We were able to pinpoint the pipelines and install two way cleanouts, then do a full 4" cleaning of the heavy root growth.
We were able to remove 95% of the roots from the pipeline using the new 4" cleanouts

A BIG THANKS goes out to Jim who finally let us install some outside cleanouts.
Jim has bean having backups for years, and we have been trying to clean out the roots from the small 3" cleanout in the basement.
We can only get a small 2 1/2" root blade around the 90 degree turns in the cast iron pipe, so only half the roots ever got cleaned out.
So, after yet another sewage flooded basement, he finally let us install some 4" sweep cleanouts in the yard, after a strong recommendation from his wife...lol
Now we have full access to cut the roots out completely and fully once a year to prevent any further sewage floods.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Dan for having the confidence in us to tackle an ongoing problem.
Dan has been having his sewer cleaned routinely for years, thinking that he was doing the right thing.
Well, he was doing the right thing, except that nobody knew his sewer is 190' long.
We were able to pinpoint the total length of the pipeline and then install a set of two way cleanouts at the half way point, just inside of his front yard.
Now we can reach the whole 190' from this central cleanout access.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Donnie for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough sewer problem.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Leslie for having the confidence in us to repair a broken sewer tap.
This house had no accessible cleanout, with no way to get a camera into the pipeline for a full inspection. We installed a set of two way 4" cleanouts in the patio, then found that the Main sewer tap was broken.
We were able to make repairs, with minimal landscape damage, by using hydraulic pipe burtsing to replace the entire pipeline from the house to the alley.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Blake for continued trust in us to repair his plumbing and sewer repair needs.
This broken sewer pipe was discovered during a landscaping project.
The pipe was exposed during an excavation for a new sidewalk revealing that the originally installed pipe had been crushed by the original landscapers, creating a large hole that massive roots got into and filled up the pipe.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Amanda and Max for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough sewer repair.
This house had no accessible 4" cleanout within the code required 100' from the City Main sewer, resulting in massive old growth roots in the last 15' of pipe that has never been cleaned out. These overgrown roots broke the pipe in the alley resulting in backups.
We were able to re-route the pipeline to avoid the garage and make full repairs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Mosaic Properties for their continued trust in us to tackle the tough plumbing repairs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Rob for having the confidence in us to trouble shoot an ongoing sewer problem.
Rob bought this home new in 2001 and the sewer has been backing up ever since. It's so bad that the family has adapted to only going number one in this restroom for 15 years.
We did a full sewer scope inspection and found that not only was the pipe broken in half, but a 4' long stick of 2" pipe was jammed inside of the 4" sewer pipe.
It looks like a disgruntled plumber sabotaged this pipe at the initial build.
We were able to pinpoint the problem and make repairs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Cady Plumbing for their continued trust in us to tackle the tough repairs.
This home had water and heavy black mold from kitchen sink drain pipe leaks in the concrete floor and wall in the basement.
After opening the wall, we found that the whole pipe behind the wall in the kitchen was also rotted and leaking into the insulation causing heavy mold.
We were able to excavate the rotted sections of pipe and make repairs.
Mold can be hazardous to your health, so if you ever see any water where it's not supposed to be, take immediate action to solve the leaks and prevent mold from growing.

A BIG THANKS goes out to mike for having the confidence in us to install a set of sweep cleanouts.
This home had no accessible cleanout location from inside the house, plus the pipeline is @ 115' out to the City Main. We were able to pinpoint the exact location of the pipe and then determine the least destructive spot to install the cleanouts.
Now we have a full 4" access point about half way out into the pipeline for any future cleaning needs.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Alex for having the confidence in us to solve a significant root problem.

This house didn't have a full size cleanout access inside the house and we found that the sewer pipe was packed full of roots upon a sewer scope inspection from the toilet mount sweep.
We were able to install two way sweep cleanouts into the pipeline to give us a full 4" access point to more completely clean out the root growth.
Yearly root cleanings are considered normal routine maintenance for clay pipe sewers.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Leslie who had the confidence in us to install two way sweep cleanouts into the 4" sewer line.
Leslie's home had no access to the sewer pipe to properly clean out the roots. We needed a full 4" access point outside to get a 4" root blade in there to make sure that we get all of the roots.

This house has no inside sewer access and has been experiencing sewage floods in the bathroom.
We were able to locate the pipe in the front yard and install a set of 4" sweep cleanouts. We now have a full outside access point to clean out the roots.
Yearly root cleaning is normal for clay pipe of this era.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Cady Plumbing for their continued trust in us to tackle the tough sewer repairs.
This house has a two pipe sewer system that was redone many years ago when the properties were split up and has been patched together with pipes being abandoned etc.
The house also has had backup issues for quite some time, with several different companies trying to diagnose the issues, all with no success.
We were able to locate and map out all of the pipes and where they connect in the backyard.
We combined the mess of pipes into one good drain, then added four cleanouts to give us a full outside access point to clean out roots in the future.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Cady Plumbing for their continued trust in us to get the job done right.
Here we have a difficult two pipe sewer system with and old abandoned grease trap in the middle. One of the pipes was completely broken and out of service.
We found a total of three breaks in the two different pipes, luckily all in the same general area.
We were able to pinpoint the breaks, make repairs, then install two sets of 4" sweep cleanouts for any future cleaning needs.

This building has 10 apartments, all on the same hot water heater.

We were able to repair all of the broken pipes and install a new commercial hot water heater with minimal downtime to the tenants.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Paul at Red T Homes for his continued confidence in us to tackle the tough plumbing jobs.
This remodel job was offered for sale when a subsequent sewer scope inspection from the buyer found a cracked hub in the clay sewer pipe. Of course the cracked section would have to be under the brand new asphalt parking lot that Paul had installed.
We were able to pinpoint the problem and make repairs.

Quick Tips on Clogs
Clogs are one of the most common homeowner problems. They are not only an annoyance, but can also lead to overflows and water damage. Keep your drains clog-free by implementing these easy preventative practices.
• Never flush sanitary napkins, baby wipes, or very thick toilet paper down the toilet. These can expand or get caught on corroding pipes and cause clogs. Instead, dispose of them in bio-degradable bags, such as the ones produced by Golden Group International. This not only prevents clogs but also is an eco-friendly way to dispose of soiled sanitary products.
• Do not use liquid cleaning supplies meant to clear clogs. These cleaners can damage pipes. Rather, try using a plumbing snake or plunger.
• Utilize strainers to catch hair in showers and tubs.
• Never put fat, grease, or cooking oils down the drain. These fats solidify in cold pipes and cause clogs. To dispose, put it in a Tupperware and leave it on your counter until it solidifies. Then dispose of it in a compost bin for garbage collection.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Jeff for having the confidence in us to replace his main sewer service.
Orangeburg is a heavy cardboard kind of pipe that was originally used for electrical conduit, but then used for drainage pipes in the late 1940's to about 1970 when other materials were scarce or expensive.
It's amazing that this cardboard pipe has lasted this long.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Alberto for having the confidence in us to solve an ongoing sewer issue.
Albertos sewer pipe has always had a big root growth problem, with no full size access to get in there and clean them out properly.
We installed a set of two way sweep cleanouts at one of the bad root intrusions.
Now we have a full 4" access point to cut out all of the roots once a year. Yearly root cleaning is considered routine with old clay sewer pipe.

This 4 story office building was flooding raw sewage into the elevator shaft, not a pretty sight.
We were able to pinpoint the pipe location, excavate and install two way sweep cleanouts.
The pipe was over 200' long and jammed pack with decades of root growth. We were able to clear them out with a combination of heavy root blades and powerful sewer jetting.

Sherree had called two other companies first, one no show and one a crazy expensive estimate.
We were able to pinpoint the issue and make repairs for a third of what the other guys estimated.
We also worked with the insurance company to make sure that the bulk of the cost was paid for.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Lee and Phil for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough underground sewer and water repair.
Both lines are underneath the driveway, plus an addition to the house, making it just that much more difficult.
We used our pneumatic mole system to bore a new line under the addition and foundation footer into the basement.
Then we repaired a bad section of sewer pipe and also installed two way 4" outside cleanouts into the sewer line for future root cleaning maintenance.
