Sacramento Drain Backups

One minute the drains in your Sacramento home could be working fine and the next, you’ve got backed up water or raw sewage, overflowing toilets and tubs, or flooding in your basement. A backed up drain that goes unnoticed for too long can do serious damage to your home, as well as posing a serious health risk to you and your family.

Types of Drain Backups

• Main drain backups: When your main drain backs up, the first warning signs will typically appear in the toilet, bathtub or shower because these fixtures are located in the lower sections of your home. In fact, it’s rare to have a main drain backup with working toilets – so that should be your first red flag.
• Kitchen drain backups: Most kitchen drain backups are caused by grease clogs. You may think it’s from putting too much food or fat down there, but even soapy water can produce enough grease or sludge to cause a drain backup.
• Toilet backups: Toilet backups can be caused by a number of different things – too much toilet paper, foreign objects, sanitary items, and more. If too much gets flushed, it can cause a blockage in your pipes.
• Shower/tub backups: Almost 100% of these backups can be attributed to hair build-up in your drains.

Drain Backup Solutions

• Camera inspection: During a video inspection, a special camera is introduced into the backed up drain. This allows our technicians to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem to better determine the best course of action going forward.
• Drain snake: Our state-of-the-art drain snake enters the backed up drain with a powerful, rotating motion. This allows the snake to “corkscrew” through the backup itself. The back end of the snake finishes the job, breaking up the substance, and allowing it to pass completely through the drain.
• Water jetting: This method is typically used for those tough clogs that a snake just won’t clear. We will send high pressure water quickly down your pipes, completely obliterating all obstructions. This method also restores your pipes back to their original condition, preventing all clogs in the near future.
