Main Sewer Line Backup Resolved

Commercial Drain Clearing for MultiFamily Properties

The Situation

Multiple downstairs units reported simultaneous drain backups. This diagnostic pattern indicates a main sewer line failure. Root intrusion is one of the leading causes for a main line backup. There is a significantly increased risk for failure when the pipe material is concrete as roots penetrate joints more easily. A previous service provider attempted to clear the line but was unable to complete the job due to severe root intrusion and limited equipment.

Unresolved mainline issues create tenant disruption, property damage risk, and repeat emergency calls.

The Lovett Solution

Systematic Root Removal

Initial inspection revealed multiple areas of concern throughout the mainline. One by one, we utilized the high pressure hydro jetter to target and cut out each specific section that was overgrown with roots.

  • Camera Inspection to locate every point of root intrusion
  • Hydro Jetting with a root cutting attachment specifically designed for concrete pipe joints
  • Rinse and repeat process for each individual area of concern
  • Final Inspection to verify 100 percent line capacity restoration
