Sewer Stoppage & Repair in Orange, TX

What causes sewer line blockages?

Tree roots are drawn to the moisture in sewer pipes and can infiltrate your system through small cracks or joints. When fats, oils and grease are poured down the drain, they can solidify inside your pipes, causing blockages. Flushing wipes, diapers, paper towels or other non-biodegradable items can lead to serious stoppages, and older pipes made from cast iron or clay can corrode or crack over time.

How 409 Plumbing resolves sewer blockages

We use high-resolution sewer cameras to inspect the inside of your sewer line and identify the exact location and cause of the blockage, without unnecessary digging. Hydro jetting blasts away grease, sludge, tree roots and other obstructions using high-pressure water, and for smaller clogs we use a plumbing snake or auger. If your sewer line has collapsed or is beyond repair, we offer full sewer line replacement with durable, modern materials.

How to know if your sewer line is blocked

Slow-draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, frequent toilet backups, foul odors and water backing up into the house are common signs that you may have a blocked sewer line. Preventing blockages starts with avoiding flushing non-flushable items and never pouring grease, oils or fats down your drains.
