Sewer Line Repair in Ball Ground, Georgia

What are some signs you need to call us for sewer line repairs in Ball Ground, GA?

• Slow emptying drains or toilets.
• More than one drain is blocked at a time.
• A bubbling sound in the toilet when you empty the sink.
• Water backs up in your sink, toilet, or tub.
• There’s a distinct smell of sewage outside your home.
• Water is pooling nearby the sewer pipe.
• Drains are slow to empty or will not empty at all.

At Performance Plumbing, we use a video camera to find out where along the line the clog is. Then, we use a sewer snake to remove the blockage effectively. This tool has an auger at the tip that we adjust to fit the pipe properly.

We insert the tool and push it right up against the clog. With a few twists and turns, we tangle the auger with whatever is causing the blockage and then draw it out carefully. While this seems easy, performing the task without damaging the pipes requires experience.

Sewer Line Maintenance & Tune-Ups in Cherokee County

To stave off expensive sewer repair and sewer line replacement, the Performance Plumbing team recommends an annual check-up.

During these checks, we insert a high-definition video camera into the plumbing and check for cracks, chips, and other signs of weakness. If we pick signs of damage, we’ll determine whether we can line the area with epoxy to fix it or if you need more extensive repairs.

If we detect large amounts of sediment or other debris restricting the water flow in the pipes, we may recommend hydro-jetting or using a sewer snake. In either case, we remove the accumulated debris, reducing the chances of a clog down the line.
