Having Difficulties With Your Sewer or Any Other Drain Line in Your Home? We Can Help!
Many of the countless pipes beneath our New Jersey homes and streets are very old. Though very durable--typically made of cast iron or terra cotta--these structures are not invulnerable to disruption caused by exterior sources. Roots commonly cause clogs which require professional sewer line cleaning from a professional sewer line company, like Neri & Russo Plumbing Heating and Sewer Cleaning Service.
Sometimes, when a tree encroaches on your plumbing, there’s little you can do about the tree itself – especially if it’s your neighbor’s tree. Tree roots can infiltrate your sewer line and break your pipes. If you are having difficulties with your sewer or any other drain line in your home we can help! We employ a variety of state of the art tools and techniques to alleviate your current problem and can provide you with pipe inspection services which will allow us and you to see precisely what are the cause of the problem.
Sewer Camera Inspection
If your home or business is experiencing slow drains or sewage backups, a sewer camera can help in locating the problem and the start point of how to fix the problem. There are many benefits to sewer cameras. Sewer cameras can inspect and find the problem without digging or destructing your lawn or landscaping. Sewer cameras can find out most of the problems that are occurring in your lines such as cracks, tree roots, or faulty installations. Determining your sewer problem with a camera is less invasive and it can also speed up the entire repair job.
Neri & Russo Services offers video inspections of your underground roof drainage lines, Sewer main or storm drain line, in order to get a real visual assessment of your underground pipes. A flexible fiber-optic cable with a video camera at the tip is inserted through the pipe.
Video images are recorded to video tape or disc and transmitted to our camera operator, so we are able to give our professional diagnosis of your pipe's condition.
The camera can pinpoint offsets, broken, cracked or collapsed pipe, root damage, corrosion and general condition of your line.
Sewer Jetting
Sewer jetting is a very dirty, nasty job, but it's an important job nonetheless. Many things can clog a sewer line. These include tree roots, minerals, dirt, grease, and sludge. All of these things need to be removed in order to maintain proper sewer operation. Most cities do not have departments that specialize in sewer jetting, so there is a very wide market for this service. Many businesses and public facilities have a need for the cleaning of sewer lines, too. These include universities, some restaurants and industrial customers. With the right equipment, you can offer these much needed services.
The main tool used in sewer jetting is the pressure washer. Depending upon the industry you are in right now, you may already have a pressure washer at your disposal. The pressures needed to pressure wash various lines depends on the size of the job. Generally smaller lines require less pressure. For instance, a small line used in a kitchen would only require water pressure at 1,500 PSI or so. A larger line such as one used for industrial purposes, might use a pressure level of up to 4,000 PSI. However, for most jobs, 2,500 PSI of water pressure is sufficient. The pressure needed will also depend upon the material that the line is made out of. A general rule of thumb would be that lines made up of softer material would require less water pressure.
Not only will water pressure depend on the size and type of line being cleaned, it will also depend on the material being removed. If you are sewer jetting and you need to remove tree roots, then you are going to want to choose a higher water pressure. If you are cleaning a material such as dirt or sludge, though, you may be able to get by with a lighter water pressure, in the 1,000 to 1,500 PSI range.
Regardless if it is roots or broken pipes, Neri & Russo Services can help you repair or replace your sewer line.
