The tech Christian went above and beyond, the call of duty, he snaked 30 feet from my house to the main, did a 10 minute water test, the last 30 seconds we still had an issue he re snaked the drain 40 feet and resolved the issue.

Importance of Sewer Lines Maintenance

Proactive sewer line maintenance prevents sewer line emergencies from happening. Roto-Rooter provides routine sewer cleaning services to Boston homes and businesses. Routing sewer maintenance reduces the likelihood of clogs, sewer line backups, and associated repair costs by preventing the build-up of grease and debris in the pipes. A sewer maintenance schedule also prevents damage to sewer lines caused by plant root infiltration, which can damage pipes and create voids.

If one of our maintenance team sees signs of a significant problem during sewer line maintenance, they recommend a video inspection of the pipeline. Using a camera snake to navigate the sewer line, the technician can show you the problem and recommend an appropriate solution. Addressing minor sewer line issues before they become serious problems is smart and cost-efficient. 

A sewer line backup can overflow sewage from toilets, showers, and other plumbing fixtures. Sewer backups rapidly damage buildings and their contents, pose health hazards from exposure to bacteria-laden wastewater, and disrupt normal home or workplace activities. Without regular maintenance, residents and business owners in Boston can encounter a range of severe sewer problems, including: 

  • Tree Root Intrusions: Small tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines, often at the pipe joints. Inside the pipeline, roots encounter a constant supply of water and nutrients. As the roots grow, they exert pressure, resulting in clogged, broken, or collapsed pipes. Left untreated, damage from tree roots only increases with time. 
  • Temperature Changes and Weather: Boston sewer lines expand and contract as the surrounding ground freezes and thaws, increasing the risk of cracked or broken pipes. In addition, heavy rainfall can overwhelm the city’s storm drains and sewer lines, leading to sewer backups and flooded basements. 
  • Wear and Tear: While sewer pipes often provide decades of service, nothing lasts forever. The older your sewer line, the greater your risk of severe problems without regular sewer line cleanings. 

Signs that your sewer system requires maintenance or repairs include: 

  • One or more slow-draining sinks, showers, or bathtubs.
  • Gurgling noises when toilets flush.
  • Water rising up from the bathtub or shower drains when the toilet flushes. 
  • Constant need to plunge toilets. 
  • Sewer smell from drains or yards.

Trenchless Technology

Conventional sewer line replacement requires heavy machinery to dig extensive trenches, often damaging landscaping and structures atop the sewer line. Roto-Rooter's zero-dig trenchless technology is a revolutionary sewer line repair and replacement solution in Boston. This innovative technology allows us to repair or replace old sewer pipes with little to no digging, often completing extensive repairs in just a few hours.

The process is simple: 

  • We use video camera snakes to identify the source of the sewer line problem.
  • Our sewer specialists use cutting-edge trenchless technology to clean and reline the old pipes.
  • The new lining hardens, creating a new, durable pipe inside the old one and restoring full functionality without digging up landscaping, sidewalks, or driveways.

Benefits of Roto-Rooter's zero-dig trenchless technology:

  • Minimal disruption: Trenchless technology allows us to repair or replace sewer pipes without digging up your property.
  • Cost-effective: Trenchless technology is often more cost-effective than conventional sewer line replacement, as it eliminates the need for extensive excavation and restoration.
  • Environmentally friendly: Trenchless technology reduces the amount of waste generated and minimizes the impact on the surrounding environment.
  • Durable results: Trenchless technology produces results with a lifespan comparable to traditional sewer line replacement.

Contact Roto-Rooter today to learn more about our zero-dig trenchless technology. We offer a free consultation and will provide a customized estimate for your repair or replacement needs.
