Main Line Cleaning and Root Cutting

When the toilet, tub and kitchen sink in a Nampa, ID home all drain slowly, or the shower fills after a load of laundry, the clog is usually in the main sewer line. Grease, wipes and roots are common causes, and repeat clogs can point to pipe damage.

How cutter cables and jetting clear the line
A plumber usually starts at the cleanout. A cutter cable spins blades that chew through roots and packed debris, while water jetting scours grease and sludge from the pipe walls. Many plumbers follow with a camera check.

When cleaning is not enough
A main line that keeps clogging tends to back up into the lowest fixture, often a basement floor drain or first-floor shower. Skip chemical drain openers on a main line, and tell the plumber about anything already poured in.

Call about sewer cleaning and say which drains are slow and how often it happens.
