Plumbing Service Somerville NJ | Call TruFlow

Yes, it's a common issue here. Older sewer lines in Somerville can crack, collapse, or get infiltrated by tree roots, leading to repeated backups. We start with a high-definition video camera inspection to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes. Based on the findings, we can recommend precise repairs or use our hydro-jetting service, which blasts away roots and debris with high-pressure water, to restore proper flow and prevent future problems.

While basic snaking clears a single blockage, hydro-jetting is a comprehensive cleaning for your entire sewer line. It uses a controlled stream of water at high pressure (1,500 to 4,000 PSI) to scour the pipe walls, removing grease, scale, roots, and debris that cause slow drains. This not only clears the immediate clog but also improves your system's overall flow and health, making it a more effective long-term solution for persistent drainage issues.

For preventative maintenance, we recommend a video camera inspection every 1-2 years, especially for older homes. This allows us to identify small cracks, offset joints, or early root intrusion before they turn into major backups or collapses. Regular inspections are a smart investment for Somerville residents, helping to avoid emergency repairs, extend the life of your sewer system, and protect your property from water damage.
