Professional Sewer Line Cleaning for Houma Homes
Your sewer line is the backbone of your entire plumbing system, and when it starts to fail, the effects are felt throughout your whole home. In Houma, factors like older clay and cast iron sewer lines, aggressive tree root growth, heavy rainfall, and years of grease and debris accumulation make sewer line problems more common than most homeowners realize. When something goes wrong with your sewer line, it is not a problem you can afford to ignore.
Trahan’s has always been dedicated to making sure that homes are comfortable — and with professional sewer cleaning services, we can keep them that way!
What Is Sewer Line Cleaning?
Sewer line cleaning is the process of removing buildup, obstructions, and debris from the main sewer line that carries waste and wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. Over time, this line can accumulate grease, soap scum, mineral scale, paper products, and tree root growth that restricts flow and eventually causes backups. Professional sewer cleaning restores full flow capacity to the line and helps prevent the costly damage that sewage backups can cause.
Depending on the nature and severity of the blockage, our plumbers use a combination of sewer camera inspection, drain snaking, and hydro jetting to clean your sewer line thoroughly and effectively.
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Cleaning
Sewer line problems rarely appear out of nowhere. In most cases, there are warning signs that something is wrong long before a full backup occurs. If you are noticing any of the following, it is time to call Trahan’s.
- Multiple slow drains throughout your home at the same time — When the problem is in the sewer line, every fixture in the house is affected, not just one.
- Toilets that gurgle, bubble, or drain sluggishly — Particularly if the issue persists after plunging, this is a strong sign of a main line restriction.
- Water backing up into your tub or shower when you flush the toilet — This is a serious red flag that your main line is significantly obstructed and needs immediate attention.
- Sewage odors inside or around your home — Persistent foul smells can indicate a blockage or partial break in the sewer line that is allowing gases to escape.
- Soggy or unusually wet patches in your yard — Especially along the path of your sewer line, this may point to a leak or break caused by root intrusion or pipe deterioration.
If you have noticed any combination of these symptoms, do not wait. A sewer backup can cause extensive water and structural damage to your home in a very short amount of time.
How We Clean Your Sewer Line
At Trahan’s, we do not guess when it comes to your sewer line. Every sewer cleaning service begins with a video camera inspection so our plumbers can see exactly what is happening inside the pipe. This allows us to identify the type and location of the blockage, assess the overall condition of the line, and choose the most effective cleaning method for your specific situation.
For most sewer line clogs and buildup, we use hydro jetting, which propels highly pressurized water through the pipe at up to 4,000 PSI. Hydro jetting scours the interior walls of the sewer line clean, removing grease, scale, debris, and root intrusions completely rather than simply pushing them out of the way. For less severe blockages or situations where a pipe may not be suitable for full hydro jetting pressure, our plumbers may use a motorized sewer snake to break up and remove the obstruction. In either case, we follow up with a final inspection to confirm the line is clean and flowing properly before we leave.
