Main Sewer Line Backup Resolved
Commercial Drain Clearing for MultiFamily PropertiesThe 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.
Verified Proof of Service
We provide video camera inspections at no additional cost to ensure property managers have visual accountability and proof of restoration.
The Lovett Solution
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
Minimal Tenant Disruption
We understand that maintaining tenant satisfaction is a priority for property managers. For this project, Lovett Services performed all work directly from the parking lot. We did not have to enter any individual apartment units, ensuring very minimal disruption to residents while we got the job done.

We believe in transparent pricing for our property management partners. This specific project required 4 hours of intensive labor because the root intrusion was exceptionally severe.
