Sewer Line Backup: Causes and Solutions

Tree Root Intrusion

In older Northern NJ neighborhoods, tree roots seek out the moisture in sewer laterals and grow into tiny cracks. Over time they form a mass that catches debris and blocks the line.

Grease and Flushed Debris

Grease poured down drains hardens in the line, and 'flushable' wipes don't break down. Both are leading causes of main-line blockages.

Aging and Collapsed Pipes

Clay and cast-iron sewer pipes eventually crack, sag, or collapse. A camera inspection reveals the exact condition so repairs target the real problem.

Trenchless Repair Saves Your Yard

Modern trenchless methods repair or replace a sewer line with minimal digging, protecting your landscaping and driveway while solving the issue for good.
