The process of sewer cleaning is fairly technical but also highly effective. Sewers can get clogged with lots of stuff, including grease, debris, and even tree roots that have either grown into the sewer line or simply found their way there as debris. This clogging can cause blockages and backups, which might lead to dirty water getting into your home and exposing your to many different harmful bacteria. In order to clean the sewer, sewer televising is first done by piping a camera into the sewer to analyze the extent of the damage. Once this has been determined, hydro-jetting is done. Basically, a powerful jet of water is pumped into the sewer to break the debris up and flush it down the sewer line. This not only solves the problem in the localized area of the blockage but also prevents clogging happening further down the line. Once the debris has been broken up and flushed the camera is re-inserted into the line and any potential repairs that might be needed are assessed. These repairs are necessary, especially in the case of damage by roots, to prevent them from growing right back in the future.
