FAQ

Q How often should drains be cleaned?

Most household drains should be professionally cleaned about once a year to prevent buildup and blockages. If drains clog frequently, if your kitchen is a busy place, or if multiple family members share a bathroom, cleaning every 6 to 8 months may be recommended.

Q How often should you have your drains cleaned with a pressure washer?

Generally, cleaning is recommended every 18 to 24 months as a preventative measure. In homes with older drains, nearby tree roots, or recurring clogs, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

Q What is the most common problem with clogged drains in the home?

The most common problem is the buildup of dirt from daily use. In kitchens, grease and food residue are often the culprits. In bathrooms, hair and soap scum tend to cause clogs. Over time, these substances stick to the inside of the pipes and slow down the flow of water.

Q What is the main cause of sewer blockages?

Tree root penetration is one of the most common causes of sewer blockages, especially in older residential areas with clay or cast iron pipes. Other common causes include grease buildup, filling with items not intended for the sewer (such as wipes or hygiene products), and broken or cracked pipes.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement Services in San Marcos, CA

When a sewer line is compromised it’s important to act fast. Some of the most common signs are slow drains throughout the home, foul odors coming from sinks or toilets, unexplained wet spots in the yard or even sewage backing up in the home.

Depending on the severity of the issue repairs may involve trenchless methods which minimize digging and disruption. Trenchless sewer repair allows us to fix damaged pipes efficiently while preserving your landscaping and saving you money. In cases where the line is beyond repair a full replacement may be necessary. Though a bigger project replacement gives you long term peace of mind and ensures your plumbing system is ready for decades of use.
