Sewer Inspection & Sewer Cleaning in Winnipeg & Across Manitoba

Sewer Line Cleaning

All sewer systems require regular sewer line flushing to ensure the accumulation of dust, grime, and debris doesn't interfere with routine functioning and clog up properties in the area. Sewer line cleaning refers to removing this unwanted buildup, including everything from sand, rags, obstructions and leaves. Sewers perform the essential function of collecting wastewater from laterals joining properties and transporting it to treatment plants. Ensuring that the water flow is unobstructed is critical to ensure that your sewer line remains in working condition. These obstructions can cause severe backups, overflows, unpleasant odours and clogged pipes. 

Hydraulic cleaning or flushing is one of the most effective ways to clean your sewer line. We use high-pressure water nozzles to flush water through the sewer, purging all of the debris from it.

Signs Your Sewer Line Is Clogged

Here are some of the most prominent signs hinting at a clogged drain:

• If your drains are running slowly, you may have a clogged sewer line despite regular cleaning and clearing.
• If you notice water backing up in all of your plumbing fixtures, it is essential to check the sewer lines for blockage.
• If the water backs up into the toilet when you flush or comes up in the tub or shower, it could be because the sewer is clogged.
• Does your toilet make bubbling and gurgling noise when you flush? You may want to schedule a sewer inspection.

The Importance of Sewer Line Cleaning

Property managers often overlook their sewer lines, only noticing them when something goes wrong. This neglect can lead to heavy buildup, which forces them to undertake expensive repairs, and damage mitigation. Some reasons why our sewer cleaning in Winnipeg is essential are:

• Prevention of backflow issues: When your sewer line has a partial clog, the water that goes into it will eventually come back into your property, even filling your tubs and sinks. 
• Prevention of property repairs: When you neglect your clogging and backflow issues, water will ultimately flood into your property, causing extensive damage. 
• Prevention of health problems: The accumulation of stagnant wastewater is never a good idea. The flowing of this wastewater into your bathrooms will lead to the growth of mould and mildew. 
• Prevention of plumbing problems: Not cleaning your sewer lines can cause plumbing problems, such as broken toilets and lack of access to water.

Our sewer line flushing can help you avoid these problems. We also provide septic tank pumping in Winnipeg.

What Can Cause Sewer Line Blockages?

Clogged sewer lines can interfere with the smooth operation of your sewage system. It can cause spills and produce a foul stench, which can cause a nuisance. It is essential to ensure that any fault in your sewer line is repaired without any delay. The sewer line can get blocked for several reasons.

One of the most common reasons for sewer line blockages is tree roots' interference with the underground pipelines. The tree roots might enter the channels through loose joints or tiny cracks. The tree roots thrive on the moisture in the pipelines, which can cause a blockage. Clogged sewer lines can also result from freezing, grease, calcite or other debris snagged inside the drain line. Flushing sanitary products can also cause the sewer line to get clogged.
