Sewer Cleaning

Why Professional Sewer Cleaning Matters

Many sewer problems begin with a partial blockage that gets worse over time. Grease, roots, mineral deposits and debris restrict water flow until wastewater has nowhere to go but back into your home. Herr uses specialized equipment designed to obliterate the blockage.

Our Sewer Cleaning Methods

Depending on the condition of your sewer line, we may use one or more cleaning techniques.

High-Pressure Sewer Jetting

Powerful streams of water scour the pipe, removing grease, sludge, debris and buildup to restore proper flow.

Root Cutting

We use specialized root-cutting attachments to remove invasive roots, so they no longer obstruct the pipe.

Vacuum Extraction

For certain applications, vacuum equipment removes loosened grease, debris and buildup from the sewer line.

Preventative Treatments

We recommend enzyme or bacteria-based products to keep drains and sewer lines flowing properly.
