Reliable line opening services to remove backups & clogs from your sewer line.

Septic Inspections for Township Compliance & Real Estate Transactions.

If you’re like most homeowners, you probably don’t give your septic system much thought until something goes wrong. We get calls for all kinds of situations when it comes to backups or sewer line clogs... A toy or a valuable has been flushed down the drain and it's clogging the pipe, or a panicked homeowner is afraid to flush the toilet again after the water begins to rise! Is your child's favorite toy gone for good?


Not always. In fact, in many cases we've been able to help homeowners retrieve lost items with the help of a sewer cable or auger. We've also used camera technology to detect tree roots in the line or determine the cause of an unexpected backup. Whether you need to retrieve something that's been flushed, or you're experiencing a backup due to grease or a fractured sewer line, we can help diagnose your problem and find a solution.

Central Pa Line Opening Solutions: High Pressure Jetting

Your sinks are draining slowly and your shower is filling up... Your dish washer is full of water and your laundry sink seems to be backing up as well. Sounds like you need a line opener with a high pressure jetting system. A high pressure jet is used when you (or a plumber) is unable to resolve your clog with a "snake" or other DIY solutions. This is typically because the clog is much further down your pipes, or because the pipe has grown closed over time due to grease buildup and other debris.


A jetting system consists of a specialized hose reel confined to a truck or trailer. High pressure water from the hose can break down dirt, debris and grease buildup in your pipes. It's a highly efficient way to remove a clog and open drain lines, but it also has it's limitations. Because the hose reel and pressure system is attached to a truck or trailer, we must be able to park closely to your home. 

Line Opening with a Sewer Cable & Auger

When it's not possible to get a hose reel into your home - in the event your problem is on the second floor or lower level, we can address your problem with a sewer cable or auger. A cable is also a better option if you're trying to retrieve something from the drain line, for example, a toddler flushed something down the drain and you need it back. Or, there are times when adding more water to the line is not possible so a jet would be out of the question.


In these situations, our technicians would use a sewer cable or auger to unclog your drain line and avoid a mess. A sewer cable or auger is a coiled cable inside of a drum, attached to a motor that feeds the cable down the line. This can either "grab" the clog in your line or force it out of the pipe to get things flowing again. 


With the help of technology, we can insert our video camera line with the cable, to help locate a clog or the missing item that shouldn't have been flushed. We've used camera technology to help homeowners out of all kind of situations. Sometimes a clog isn't a clog at all - it's a tree root that's gotten into the drain line, obstructing the flow of waste water, or it's terrible grease buildup that's nearly closed the pipe altogether. Regardless of the cause, we're here to help. If you're in need of drain line opening in Central Pa, contact us today to schedule service.
