Q&A
After a hurricane or heavy rain in Columbia, my drains are backing up. What should I do?
This is a common issue after flooding in our area, as stormwater can overwhelm sewer lines. First, avoid using any drains or toilets. Then, call us immediately. Our team can perform a thorough plumbing inspection, including camera drain scoping, to identify blockages, root intrusion, or pipe damage. We provide emergency drain repair and cleaning to restore proper flow and help prevent future backups with preventative solutions like root treatment.
Can you help prevent root intrusion in my Columbia home's sewer lines?
Absolutely. We recommend regular plumbing inspections, especially for older homes in neighborhoods with mature trees. Our technicians use video camera scoping to check your main sewer line for early signs of root growth. If we find intrusion, we can perform targeted drain repair or hydro-jetting to clear the roots without damaging the pipe. For severe cases, we offer trenchless pipe repair or replacement to create a permanent barrier against roots.
My electrical panel got wet during a flood. Is this dangerous, and can you fix it?
Yes, water in an electrical panel is a serious safety hazard and can cause short circuits or fires. Do not touch the panel. Turn off power at the main breaker if it is safe to do so, and call us right away. Our licensed electricians will perform a complete electric inspection, safely dry components, and assess for damage. We provide expert circuit breaker repair, electric panel repair, or a full panel replacement if necessary, ensuring your system is safe, up to code, and protected against future moisture issues.
