Suburban Plumbing Sewer Line and Drain Cleaning Experts

One of the first signs of a frozen pipe inside of your home is turning on a plumbing fixture and experiencing little to no water flow. If you experience a “no water flow” situation, the first thing you want to do is turn off the main water valve to your property. It is important that you do not attempt to thaw out any pipes that you feel may be frozen with an open flame such as a torch. It is also dangerous to attempt pipe thawing with a hair dryer or electric heater. If water leaks then you will run the risk of getting electrocuted! The Suburban Plumbing Experts recommend calling a professional to thaw out your frozen pipes. You want to take care of the situation promptly because frozen pipes have a tendency to burst. Water damage from burst pipes can be catastrophic and extremely costly. Our licensed experts have the knowledge and experience that is required to unthaw your frozen pipes in a safe and efficient manner.   Professional Pipe Thawing Pipe thawing can be a very time-c...

Grease is one of the most common causes for sewer line clogs and blockages. These clogs and blockages lead to sewer overflows and often discharge untreated waste water into homes and nearby streets. These unsanitary streams enter common waterways and ultimately cause a costly amount of cleanup and often restrict tourism, recreation, and commerce. To prevent such costly disasters, it is important to properly maintain your grease traps. Grease traps are vital as they prevent kitchen food waste and grease from entering your city’s sewer system. Your grease traps, both interior and exterior, must be emptied on a consistent basis. They also must be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis in order to prevent destructive and costly sewer backups and overflows. How Grease Traps Work Grease traps are not only used by restaurants, schools, hotels, and hospitals. Homeowners around the world use grease traps to help their plumbing system and avoid costly repairs. Whether you use your kitchen sink, ...

Drain tile or Seepage Tiles  can be installed either around the exterior or your home on around the interior perimeter of your home’s foundation. Drain tile is typically made of PVC piping that has weep holes on one side. This perforated pipe is set inside of a trench and then thoroughly covered with gravel. The rest of the hole is then filled in. The water that gets collected inside of the drain tile gets redirected away from the foundation. This is typically done by allowing it to travel to a sump pump. Interior Drainage Tile Interior drainage tile can be installed in several different places. This includes underneath the foundation, within the edges of the foundation, and above the foundation slab.
