Philadelphia Sewer & Drain Line Repairs

What Is Trenchless Sewer & Drain Repair?

Many consider trenchless a better method of sewer repair than traditional excavation. When performing traditional excavation, technicians dig a trench around the damaged pipe. Depending on the location of the damaged sewer line, excavation methods often lead to destruction of your yard or property.

Trenchless sewer repair methods happen almost completely underground and out of sight. Damage to the area around the sewer line is minimal. This is why our customers and technicians tend to favor these methods. Plus, trenchless repairs are often completed same day. We perform two types of trenchless sewer pipe repair.

  • Multiple clogged drains in the house
  • Gurgling sounds coming from the pipes

How Often Should Sewer Lines Be Cleaned?

The frequency of sewer line cleaning can vary depending on several factors, including the age of the sewer system, the number of occupants in the property, and the presence of any known issues. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have sewer lines professionally cleaned every 1 to 2 years to maintain optimal performance and prevent potential blockages or backups.

Reasons Why You Might Need More Frequent Drain Cleaning

  • Age and condition of sewer system: Older sewer systems or those with a history of problems may require more frequent cleaning to prevent blockages and maintain proper functionality.
  • Occupancy and usage: Properties with a higher number of occupants or heavy water usage, such as large households or commercial buildings, may need more frequent sewer line cleaning to prevent buildup and clogs.
  • Signs of sewer line issues: If you notice warning signs like slow drains, backups, foul odors, or strange noises coming from your plumbing system, it is recommended to schedule a sewer line cleaning promptly, regardless of the regular maintenance schedule

If you notice any signs of sewer line problems, such as slow drains, foul odors, or gurgling noises, it is advisable to schedule a cleaning with Zoom Drain of Philadelphia sooner to address the issue promptly. Our professional drain plumbers can assess the condition of your sewer lines and provide personalized recommendations for cleaning frequency based on your specific circumstances.

How Often Should Sewer Lines Be Replaced?

Sewer lines should be replaced on an as-needed basis. Depending on the age of the pipes, material used, and any local codes or regulations, experts recommend that older clay, cast iron, PVC or orangeburg pipes be replaced every 50 to 100 years.

Homeowners should inspect their sewer lines for signs of damage such as corrosion, root intrusion, shifting soil, or broken seals and replace them if necessary.

In addition to regular inspections, sewer lines should also be routinely inspected for clogs and blockages due to grease buildup or other debris. Proper maintenance can help extend the life of a sewer line by reducing wear and tear caused by abnormal levels of pressure or water flow in the system.

Hear From Our Customers

    So Grateful!
    “I can't say enough about you guys. From your first call in February (Tyler, Steve) up to today, you have exceeded my expectations. Twice technicians were at my house until 10 at night, on the weekend, and did not leave until the problem was diagnosed or resolved. My sewer line was not a normal situation and very hard to work around but they did it, they did it correctly and they did it quickly so as not to inconvenience myself or my neighbor. Chris was excellent (working until 10 P.M. on Father's Day), and Kevin made sure I was pleased with the job. Matt was absolutely awesome beyond words! He calmed my fears, explained everything, and put me at ease. He made sure everything was done correctly and he was accessible whenever I had a question or concern. I would never use anyone else but Zoom because of their employees and their service. My favorite thing is the fact that no matter what's going on, how late or how hot it is, the technicians ALWAYS put on shoe covers before coming back into the house. Thanks Zoom!”
    - June Gregory
    They were on time and completed the job quickly. Also had foot covers to protect the wood floor and treats for the dogs!
    “Zoom Drain cleared our courtyard drain this morning. They were on time and completed the job quickly. Also had foot covers to protect the wood floor and treats for the dogs!”
    - Anthon F.
    So crazily, I called and had working drains again in under two hours. From the time I called. You guys are the best.
    “I know it typically does not work this easily every time. However, when I called Zoom this morning they put me in the schedule for this afternoon. I then got a call back asking if a technician in 30 minutes would work for my schedule. Ben showed up in 30 minutes and was able to skillfully communicate what services he could provide to tackle what we were facing. I then proceeded to somehow think his name was Matt and cheerfully called him Matt the whole time. Never did he correct me, but later reading my invoice I see that I'm oblivious and Ben is patient. He also was able to snake clean, video inspect, and clean out debris clogging our u-bend in under 40 minutes. So crazily, I called and had working drains again in under two hours. From the time I called. You guys are the best.”
