Let’s See What’s Going on in There.

Since we can’t crawl inside a sewer line ourselves (who would want to) to inspect for clogs, plumbers need state-of-the-art video inspection equipment.  The plumbing camera is attached to a screen for real time visualization that can also be recorded.  Finding the root cause of the problem in a pipe or sewer system in a timely manner will greatly increase productivity.

Using a sewer camera to visualize problems will aid your plumbing pro in permanently fixing plumbing problems the first time they occur.  Knowing the specific nature of a plumbing problem will also help them better determine the most efficient way to deal with it, saving you time, effort, and money.

The man with the cam is Snohomish Plumber, Shawn Allen.  Shawn has been inspecting pipes and sewer lines around the Seattle area for decades.  He is ready to come to your home or office for expert video inspection that is causing your drains to clog.  Give Shawn a call for fast, reliable service at (425) 367-4744.      

It is All Interconnected.

That is what it’s like beneath your Seattle area home.  It is out of sight, out of mind, but all of the plumbing fixtures, drains, and pipes in your home are connected to the biggest (and most important) piece of plumbing in your entire home.  That is the main sewer line.  Over time, the main sewer line can take a REAL beating!

Here are some of the common causes of a clogged sewer line –

1.  Broken or ruptured sewer pipes

2.  The line is sunken due to changing soil conditions.

3.  Tree roots…they are lovely to look at above ground, but destructive below.

4.  Every time you pour grease down the drain it takes a toll.

And so on, and so on it goes.  There are plenty of reasons for main sewer lines to “give up the ghost”.  There is one man in Snohomish who can fix it for you.  He is Seattle area drain cleaner Shawn Allen.  At the very first sign of a clogged drain…think about the main sewer line and call Shawn at (425) 367-4744.    

Let’s Take a Look and See What’s in There.

If the proctologist says that, you are cringing as to what happens next!  When your friendly neighborhood sewer line inspector says that it means that he is going to get to the heart of the problem that you may be having on your property.  Both activities may be a necessity, but let’s talk about the latter.

The obvious purpose of a sewer camera is to be able to see what’s causing a blockage or backup within the sewer pipe itself.  The best part is that the inspector does NOT need to dig up the back yard like he did in the old days…or just guess as to where the problem is occurring.  You can avoid expensive repairs that may not have been needed in the first place.

I Love Living in the Woods.

There are times when having a lot of trees on your property is a beautiful thing, then there are the times when those tree roots infiltrate your sewer pipes resulting in potential disaster on your property.  Don’t assume that cutting down the trees will alleviate your problem.  Clay and cast iron are rarely used these days because of those loose-fitting joints that tree roots can penetrate.

Here are some steps that may need to be taken –

1.  Digging up the old line and replacing it with plastic

2.  Poisoning the old tree roots that are causing the problem

3.  Covering the existing pipe with plastic fabric and cement
