 Here is another set of two way sweep cleanouts that we installed at this apartment building.
This building was built in the early 1960's and had no accessible cleanouts for routine root cleanings.
We were able to locate the pipeline and make this big upgrade of the 4" sweep cleanouts.
Now we can get a full 4" root cutter into the pipeline from outside the building. |

 Here we are installing another set of two way sweep cleanouts along with @ 15' of pipeline.
This retired couple called us for a second opinion after the first two companies said they needed a $18000 - $20000 sewer repair.
We came out and did our own sewer scope inspection and found that only 15' of pipe had any issues and the rest of the pipeline was in excellent condition.
We were able to make the repairs at a small fraction of what the other companies were trying to sell.
Beware of the "Free sewer scope" guys.
They work on commission and only get paid if they sell you a sewer repair, they are not sewer professionals, they are salesmen and they are especially aggressive with the elderly.
Remember, there's no such thing as a "free" sewer scope inspection. |

 Here we are performing a routine root cleaning and sewer scope inspection.
This house is for sale and the buyers asked for an inspection of the sewer, where roots were found throughout the pipeline.
We recommend an annual root cleaning schedule for anyone who has a clay pipeline, and if you are selling your house, do a full sewer scope inspection before you list it for sale, that way you won't have any big surprises later.
If you are buying a house, remember to always get a sewer scope inspection first, that way you're not stuck with a big expensive repair job.
Yearly root cleanings are considered routine maintenance in clay pipe sewers. |

Here we are doing a sewer scope and drain cleaning for a home sale.
This pipeline was found to have several issues, including a full pipe belly collecting solids and backing up.
The buyer was able to negotiate a sewer repair from this inspection before the sale was finalized.
Remember, never buy a property without a sewer scope inspection, you don't want to get stuck with a big expensive repair.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Broocks for having the confidence in us to tackle a tough sewer repair.
Broocks said she had up to 16 phone calls out to different local plumbing companies to help her solve her sewer backup issues, only 3 of them showed up, and none of them located or diagnosed the problem correctly.
We were able to pinpoint the issues and make repairs in one day.
A correct diagnosis is the most important part of the whole process of making a sewer repair work the first time.
Be sure to talk to a professional, licensed pipe layer with years of experience before hiring the first landscaper guy who shows up with a backhoe.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Eric for havint the confidence in us to troubleshoot and repair an ongoing problem.
Every time Eric ran the kitchen sink the water would bubble up in the yard.
Another company tried to repair it 2 years ago and didn't fix the problem, they just wasted Eric's time and money.
We were able to find an old grease trap that had failed long ago and were able to reroute the kitchen line to the sanitary sewer, effectively by-passing the old broken system completely.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Rich and Camille for having the confidence in us to tackle a sewer root problem.
Rich and Camille called the "Big Name rooter" company to unclog the pipe on a Friday night.
After a suspect attempt at clearing the roots, a so called "free" sewer scope tech arrived and promptly told them the sewer was broken and slapped down a contract for a $20000.00 repair.
No video evidence or report was offered....
Camille called us for a second opinion, and when we did our inspection, the pipe was found to be in good condition with normal root growth. No broken pipe, just roots.
The first tech faked the root cleaning, we confirmed this with our own inspection, just to get the sewer scope tech over there and panic the homeowners into a huge expense.
We were able to pinpoint the worst root intrusion and install a set of cleanouts, at a small fraction of the "Big Name Rooter" price.
You could say that Rich and Camille saved $17000.00 by calling us for a second opinion.
Remember the saying " there's no such thing as a free lunch"?
The same is true for sewer scope inspections.
Don't be a victim of these scams, always get a second opinion.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Liz and Chris for having the confidence in us to solve a big kitchen sewer problem.
This house has a separate sewer pipeline that service just the kitchen.
We were called for a second opinion when the first company told them it was a $19000.00 repair....WOW!
We were able to clear the roots and install a set of cleanouts, including concrete repairs, and a full trailer mounted power jetting to clear the roots and sludge, for a total savings of $15500.00
Be careful when calling these "Big Name Rooter" companies, they will send a well trained salesman, not a an experienced craftsman.

A BIG THANKS goes out to Shelley and Dennis for having the confidence in us to tackle a big sewer backup problem.
This house didn't have any cleanout access except the toilet sweep, which it is almost impossible to clear out the roots from this location due to the 3" pipe and back to back 90 degree turns.
We were able to pinpoint the massive roots at the cast to clay transition and then install a set of 4" sweep cleanouts, effectively eliminating the worst section of pipeline, and then giving us a full outside access point for future root cleaning maintenance.

This pipeline has a large root at the City tap that was difficult at best to get to clear from the 3" cleanout in the basement. We were able to locate the exact location of the pipeline and chose a location to minimize any damage to the beautiful shade tree.
We now have a full 4" sweep access point, outside the house, to keep the pipe cleared of roots with a full size 4" root blade..

This pipeline is shared by 4 units and has a 30' long belly holding water and collecting solids.
