Emergency Septic Line Clearing Services
Time is important for clearing a septic line clog. Because blockages can cause backups, foul odors, and damage to your yard or property, you don’t want to ignore a septic issue.
Backed by superior equipment and innovative techniques, the AP Plumbing team offers emergency septic line clearing services. Our trained and friendly plumbers hop into action to restore your Greater Rochester home.
To clear your septic line, our strategies can include:
- Hydro jetting: To fully restore a pipe, we may use a high-pressure water stream to blast away grease, sludge, roots, and other debris.
- Mechanical snaking: Breaking through tough blockages and roots, we also might use a rotating cable that’s fitted with a cutting head.
- Camera inspections: Additionally, to identify the cause of the problem (and the best method for clearing), we use a small, waterproof camera that’s attached to a flexible cable to see inside the main sewer or septic line.
How to Tell if a Septic Line Is Clogged
While septic problems can be a big issue, they don’t always have to catch you by surprise. Normally, a clogged septic line can start subtly, but it won’t stay that way for long.
These are the common warning signs to look out for that your septic line may be clogged and needs an inspection and/or clearing:
- Slow-draining fixtures: You might have a clog deep within your septic line if your sinks, tubs, or toilets are draining slower than normal, especially if you’ve tried using a plunger or drain cleaner.
- Gurgling sounds: A blockage may be disrupting normal water flow if you hear bubbling or gurgling noises coming from your drains or toilet.
- Foul odors: It’s a clear sign that wastewater isn’t flowing properly if you notice an unpleasant smell coming from your drains or around your yard near the septic tank.
- Sewage backups: Water or sewage backing up into your home almost always indicates a major clog or system failure. Don’t put this issue off and call for emergency septic service immediately.
- Pooling water or soggy spots in the yard: You can sometimes detect a septic clog by standing water or lush green patches near your septic tank or drain field.
- Multiple fixtures backing up: When more than one drain or toilet is experiencing issues at the same time, this points to a main septic line clog instead of just an isolated plumbing issue.
