Sewer Line Repair in Boise, Id

Common Sewer Line Issues

As with any pipe, clogs are the most common issues that homeowners report to the pros at Viking Plumbing. But what most of our customers don’t realize is that the clog is only part of their problem. The bigger problem is the crack in their sewer line. The break has allowed tree roots to invade the sewer pipe in search of water and “natural” fertilizer. And once they find the nutrient-rich contents of the sewer line, the roots rapidly to form a very dense pipe blockage.

In the case of a tree root invasion, the damage to the pipe is unknown until a sewer line specialist can remove the massive clog in the pipe and examine the pipe walls using a small remote camera. At that point, the real issue is revealed. And the damaged section of the sewer line can be repaired. However, if a handyman has just removed the clog with a plumbing snake and then called it a day, the job is only half done. And the roots will return quickly to form a new clog. So it is always best to turn to the licensed plumbers at Viking Plumbing when you have a sewer line clog. We will remove the clog and get to the real root of the issue.
