Our licensed plumbers use a professional video inspection camera which is attached to a cable. We commonly use it for our clogged drain services or before drain cleaning services to locate a sewer blockage or ensure your sewage pipes are in good condition.
However, when we suspect a sewer backup, Mississauga homeowners can watch how our experts access their sewer lateral via the cleanout pipe. We’ll lower the camera down the drain, inspect your sewer pipe’s condition, and locate the clog causing the drain backup. Often, it’s the accumulation of years of debris and minerals, but it could also be tree roots invading your system. Once we know the problem, we can address it, fix it, and get your plumbing system back up and running smoothly.
Hydro Jetting and Sewer Cleaning
Whether it’s a stubborn clog or tree roots, it’s essential that your team of technicians now reduce the amount of stress and tension in your sewer drain pipe. Otherwise, cracks and other damage could worsen the sewer pipeline resulting in pipe replacement. Our professionals use the HydroScrub® jetting device, a unit that shoots high-pressure water jets to break through tough clogs and roots at a psi of 3000 or more.
Once water flows again, we’ll attach a rotating nozzle so the jets shoot in all directions and clear the pipe walls entirely by breaking down mineral deposits, sludge buildup, and other debris. This leaves your pipes sparkly clean and free of all blockages or debris that could potentially clog your drains again. No repeat offenders here!
Emergency Situations
There are also emergency situations where natural disasters wreak havoc in Mississauga. Sewer backups can happen when heavy rainstorms flood the streets and overwhelm the city lines. While the municipality takes measures to ensure the city sewers are in proper working order, there is no guarantee that there won’t be blockages in city sewers. If that happens, you and neighboring properties are at risk of sewage backflow.
Property owners with no protective plumbing devices or malfunctioning ones could experience raw sewage pushing back into their homes via the sewer system. To mitigate the sewer backup, Mississauga plumbers help you with the cleanup and communicate every step of the process so that you can inform your home insurance company about the occurrence.
We’ll also go the extra mile and go beyond the sewer backup. Mississauga plumbers will help you ensure you won’t experience such an emergency again.
