Answers to the most frequently asked sewer and drain questions from Pontiac property owners.
Yes. Our Pontiac, MI teams are equipped for drain cleaning at any scale — from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to commercial restaurant grease lines, multi-unit buildings, and industrial facilities. We carry equipment rated for pipes from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter.
Recurring clogs in Pontiac homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies in Pontiac do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help Pontiac homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.
Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Pontiac, MI. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.
We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your Pontiac property without any excavation.
Common warning signs for Pontiac homeowners include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, soggy patches in the lawn, and recurring drain backups. If you notice any of these, call us for a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the problem before it becomes a costly emergency.
