Common signs of a blocked sewer drain include slow drainage, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, foul odors emanating from drains, and water backups in sinks, showers, or toilets.

It is not recommended to use chemical drain cleaners for sewer drains. These cleaners can cause further damage to the pipes and may not effectively clear the blockage. Professional sewer drain cleaning services or mechanical methods, such as snaking or hydro jetting, are safer and more effective options.

It is advisable to have your sewer drain inspected at least once every two years, even if there are no apparent issues. Regular inspections can help identify potential problems early on and prevent costly and disruptive sewer line repairs in the future. If you notice any signs of trouble, like slow drainage or backups, an immediate inspection is recommended.

Sewer rehabilitation refers to the process of repairing, renovating, or replacing damaged or deteriorated sewer pipelines. It becomes necessary when sewer lines experience issues such as cracks, leaks, corrosion, root intrusion, or structural damage, which can lead to sewer backups, environmental hazards, and costly repairs if left unattended.

The duration of sewer rehabilitation depends on the extent of the damage and the chosen repair method. In many cases, trenchless techniques can significantly reduce the time required compared to traditional excavation methods. Additionally, trenchless rehabilitation is less disruptive to the property, as it involves minimal digging and disturbance to landscapes, driveways, and other structures. This results in faster project completion and less inconvenience to property owners.
