Main Sewer Drain Cleaning

The buildup of paper products such as toilet paper or baby wipes often causes a main sewer drain clog. Tree roots sometimes grow in the main sewer line and use the sewer water as their primary source of water. Over time the tree roots grow and cause a major blockage in your main sewer drain. We have the experience and tools to get your main sewer drain flowing again.

Shower & Tub Drain Cleaning

After a shower, when you open the drain, water should drain immediately. If it is not draining at all or very slowly, your tub or shower trap or drain line is probably clogged with soap and hair, which is very common. A Sureflow drain cleaning specialist can resolve this and any blocked drain issues. Call us today at (401) 432-4708.

Residential drains and sewers clog due to many reasons. A common reason for a sewer main line clog is a root penetrating a portion of the sewer line. This root obstructs your drain and catches waste as it flows through. Eventually, the root slows the drain and even cause the drain to back up completely.

There are many other causes for slow sewer lines and clogged drains in Rhode Island

  • Grease being poured down a drain followed by hot water – the hot water will wash the grease out of your sink and pans, but once it cools in the pipes, it solidifies.
  • Garbage disposal grease traps are designed to catch grease, oils, and fats. They should be carefully removed and cleaned. When hot water passes through, it allows the grease to be released and travel through the pipes. Once it reaches the cooler pipes, it will solidify and can create the start of a clog that is significant and can be challenging to clear.
  • Pipes that have deteriorated and collapsed. Pipes can have damage, crack, and break down over time. Schedule regular preventative inspections!
  • Products that are deliberately or mistakenly flushed down toilets can get lodged, creating the start of a catch that will gather other small items, eventually creating a clog that will cause slow draining.
  • Shower drains often allow hair and animal and vegetable fats to flow into your drainage system. Many soaps are made with animal and vegetable fats and can contribute to a grease clogged drain.

Whether you own a multi-family dwelling, a restaurant, or any other type of business, the last thing you need is a clogged toilet or drain. Slow drains can significantly impact some businesses.

Regular inspections of drainage systems should be a significant part of your regular maintenance regiment.

Sureflow Offers Video Inspections of Your Drain Pipes

Sewer line video inspection is a cost-effective method for diagnosing problems within a drain, especially a massive drain like the main sewer line. Using video equipment to look inside the drainpipe, we accurately identify and locate blockages or damage.

Main sewer line clogs are often caused by tree roots, which continually grow and cause severe sewer drain clogs. If not diagnosed and removed, they can destroy your main sewer drain. A Sureflow plumbing drain specialist can help diagnose, remove, and treat tree roots in your main sewer line.

Identifying the exact location of a problem is imperative for two reasons

  • Reduce the damage to your property.
  • Save money by avoiding unnecessary work.

If you think you may have an obstruction or damage to a drain, we can quickly diagnose the problem and offer a free estimate to clear the line—without digging up your lawn or ripping holes in your walls.

At Sureflow, we have the equipment to efficiently video inspect almost any line–from the sink and tub lines up to main sewer lines and storm drain lines. If you’re having a recurring issue with a line of any type or size, we’d recommend calling Sureflow and letting us send an experienced video inspection expert to diagnose and locate the problems.

Video inspection involves inserting a tiny camera into your sewer line or drain. The camera is at the end of a long flexible cable, allowing us to run it down the line to find the problem.

We use video inspection equipment capable of searching significant distances, working inside diameters as small as 2 inches.

The camera has a transmitter that sends a signal to a locator used above ground. This allows us to determine where the line is going and pinpoint the exact location and depth of a problem area.

Because we are a full-service sewer and drain cleaning specialist, we can do all the necessary excavation and repairs to get your sewer or drains up and running. We may suggest a discounted preventive maintenance program to keep the line running. If the problem is more serious, we can excavate and repair or replace the line for you.

What is Hydro Jetting or Water Jetting?

The process of high-pressure hydro-jetting involves propelling water, at varying amounts of pressure, into the sewer and drain lines to cut through most any kind of obstruction. A nozzle is mounted on the end of a heavy-duty flexible hose to direct powerful sprays of water cleaning to the pipe walls. High-pressure drain cleaning and sewer line cleaning can cut through even the toughest blockages.

Another common problem in homes and businesses that we work with is tree roots. Tree roots seek out any source of water. Drains are an ideal location. Roots can fit their way into a drain system through small holes or gaps, and as they grow, they will restrict water flow.

Efficient, Economical & Environmentally Safe

Water jetting can resolve this problem and restore proper water drain flow to your home or business. Hydro jetting is an essential innovation in plumbing and is an efficient, economical, and environmentally safe way to clean drain and sewer lines.

If you own a restaurant, hydro jetting should be a part of your regular maintenance plan. Do not wait until there is a problem. Being proactive can save your company valuable time, money, and inconvenience!

From residential to commercial, we are your go-to hydro water jetting company in Rhode Island.

What is a Septic System Rejuvenation?

A septic system rejuvenation is when a professional pump out excess water from a leach field and adds the proper good bacteria and enzymes that will rejuvenate the system. Hydro Water Jetting may be beneficial to clean the drain lines of any clogs while cleaning the walls of the pipes as well.

The leach field is the fourth part of a septic system.

The leach field’s job is to catch the wastewater when it exits the distribution box. The leach field helps the water absorb into the ground and make space for the new wastewater inside the septic tank.

Over time, the buildup that is created naturally can become too much for the system, and it will not drain properly. It is when a system rejuvenation may be required.

Its Benefits

  • Quick restoration of proper septic function.
  • Minimal damage or disruption to lawn and landscaping.
  • Low operation and maintenance costs.
  • Cost-effective solution.

Clogged Sinks & Toilets

Your sinks and toilets are a huge part of your everyday living at home and the convenience and functionality of your business. Don’t let these problems frustrate you. Get professional help!

Drains in the kitchen and bathroom sinks are often under the heavy strain of daily use, frequently washing away the dirt and grime of everyday life. If they become clogged, they can cause your whole plumbing system to slow significantly or come to a complete halt.

Kitchen and bathroom drains get clogged due to various reasons, including dirt, grease, and food buildup over time, as well as other items that may inadvertently end up in your drain system.

While some home or business owners may reach for a store-bought drain cleaner when these problems crop up, these products will often do more harm than good and can only provide temporary solutions. The chemicals in many drain cleaning products can damage your pipes, ruin the finish of drains, and lead to more problems in the future. Professional drain cleaning services are the only way to clean your entire drain system and prevent further issues and damage.

Many things can lead to a blocked toilet from sewage backup, sanitary products, waste buildup, paper products, etc., to name a few. Over time, tree roots can invade your pipes through small holes or gaps and cause a major blockage in your main sewer drain.

Sometimes a plunger just isn’t enough to get the job done, and you will need a professional to get your toilet draining correctly. We have the experience and tools to get your pipes or main sewer drain flowing properly again.

Sewer Line Repair and Installation

Don’t Hesitate to Call for Help! 24/7 Emergency Services Available.

Broken or cracked sewer lines are a nuisance, but if the issue is addressed quickly, it can be resolved without causing further problems. In many cases, you don’t have to replace old sewer pipes with new ones, as we are fully qualified to repair damaged pipes and thus extend their longevity.

Sewer pipes, regardless of their quality, are likely to break after years of use. The underlying damage is massive – can you imagine what will happen if those pipes start leaking filthy sewage under your property? At Sureflow Rooter Service and Drain Cleaning in Providence, RI, we specialize in fixing cracked, broken, deformed, and collapsed sewer pipes quickly and efficiently.

When the problem appears to be localized, it is often due to a single clogged drain. However, when all the drains in your home stop working, including toilets, sinks, tubs, and shower drains becoming clogged simultaneously, this is a clear sign that something is seriously wrong with the sewer lines and needs immediate attention.

  • Leaky sewer pipes emit a foul stench in your basement, yard, or other areas on the premises. A pervasive smell of sewage means it is time to call in professionals.
  • Gurgling noises from different fixtures, such as the shower drain gurgling and coughing up water, strange sounds coming from the toilet due to lack of water.
  • The bathtub takes too long to drain, or the water doesn’t seep smoothly into the drainage system.
  • If a sewer pipe is severely cracked, fractured, or displaced, the contents can spill out into your yard or garden.
  • Sewage accumulation in your toilet or tub.

Our team of experienced professionals will assess the damage and devise solutions accordingly since property layouts and sewer systems are different for every home.

For broken or cracked sewer lines, we can reline the pipes if required, which involves new pipes from the inside out or lining existing ones with a “sleeve” to avoid cracks in the future.

We are also equipped to unclog drains and eradicate debris, filth, and other kinds of buildup to prevent clogs or bursts.

Installation Service

When the damage is too much, and repairs aren’t feasible, we recommend replacement of old lines by installing new ones. We pull a new sewer pipe through the old one – eventually, the latter breaks apart, and the former takes its place.

At Sureflow Rooter Service and Drain Cleaning, we offer lucrative solutions by explaining options and reviewing problems, so that you can decide objectively. As ethics and transparency are vital to us, the sewer line replacement will comply with your specifications and budget. No surprises. No hidden fees.

Electric Pipe Inspections

We offer pipe inspections to help locate precisely where any problems may exist in your main sewer drain. Most often, tree roots caused by a cracked or broken main sewer line are the real problem.

We can locate where any problems are so that the main sewer drain can be repaired. A Sureflow drain cleaning professional has the experience to help you with any of your drain cleaning needs or questions.

Tree Root Damage

Roots grow into the pipes because they like it there! Sewer pipes contain water, nutrients, and oxygen-the essential elements for the growth of trees.

The flow of warm water inside sewer pipes causes the vapor to escape to the cooler soil surrounding the pipe. Tree roots grow toward the vapor to the point of its source. The source of the moisture is usually a crack in the lines or a loose joint. Once the tree roots reach the gap or the loose joint, they will grow through the opening to get the plentiful nutrients and moisture inside.

Once inside the pipe, the roots will continue to grow, and if not disturbed, they will eventually fill the line. These masses can act as a net as they catch debris discharged from the residence.

Once roots are in your lateral, they will eventually cause a blockage. The proper tools and expertise is essential to eliminate the problem correctly, assess the damage, and make the necessary repairs.

The best way to prevent this is to schedule regular cleaning of your sewer lateral. You may wish to hire Sureflow for a video inspection of your sewer lateral to determine its condition and if any repairs are needed.

While trees and shrubs add beauty and shade to your property, their roots can cause damage. Be aware of where your laterals are located so you can plan your future landscaping accordingly. If you do not know, ask your Sureflow professional!

Tree roots, paper products, and kitchen grease are just some of the things that can cause a sewer drain clog.

A Sureflow drain cleaning specialist has the tools and experience to cut through tree roots, kitchen grease clog, or sewer drain clog.
