Expert Sewer Rodding and Main Line Service in Hobart
For deeper issues affecting multiple drains, our technicians perform professional sewer rodding to clear your main line. Using a rodding machine equipped with a rotating cable and cutter blade, we grind through obstructions such as roots, hardened grease, or compacted debris. The auger, or drain snake, allows us to locate and clear blockages fast, often through an exterior or basement cleanout plug for direct access to the sewer line.
If we suspect structural damage or root intrusion, we use an inspection camera—also called a drain camera—to visually inspect the inside of your plumbing system. This real-time video feedback helps identify cracks, collapsed lines, offset joints, or any foreign material restricting flow.
What Causes Drain and Sewer Problems?
Hobart’s mix of older homes and seasonal temperature shifts can stress underground plumbing systems. Common issues include:
- Root Intrusion: Tree roots naturally seek water sources and can invade joints between pipes, creating heavy blockages.
- Grease Build-Up: Fats, oils, and food debris solidify within the line, causing backflow issues and unpleasant smells.
- Scale and Mineral Deposits: Hard water leaves behind mineral residue that reduces pipe diameter, leading to chronic slow drains.
- Collapsed Line: Older clay or cast iron pipes can deteriorate or collapse, completely halting flow.
- Offset Joint: When connections between pipe sections misalign, debris collects and flow restriction worsens with time.
- Bellied Pipe: Sagging pipe sections trap standing water and solids, encouraging future blockages.
Our drain cleaning approach targets the root cause, not just the symptoms, ensuring your drainage system flows freely and reliably.
Drain Cleaning Problems We Fix
There are several different drain issues our team is prepared to address. Regional Plumbing Heating & Air has the experience and expertise to handle the following:
- Blockages and clogs in drains
- Water leaks from high pressure in clogged pipes
- Unsanitary conditions caused when drains back up
- Flooding when pipes break
Pipes in your home tend to be out of sight, which means you often don’t think about them unless an emergency occurs. However, with regular draining cleaning services, you can avoid an emergency altogether.
Advanced Tools and Techniques for Reliable Results
We don’t rely on guesswork. Our drain cleaning plumbers in Hobart use modern equipment designed for accuracy and efficiency. The inspection camera helps us locate hidden issues without unnecessary digging. We identify the right access point—often a cleanout plug—to ensure effective service while protecting your property.
Rotary cutter blades can scrape away hardened buildup inside the main line. In smaller fixtures, we might use a manual or powered auger to clear out hair or soap clogs. Precision matters; the right plumbing tools protect your pipes while providing a thorough clean.
Preventive maintenance can be performed seasonally, especially before heavy rainfall or the winter freeze, both of which can stress your drainage system.
