A Clogged Toilet Can Be The Result Of A Clogged Sewer Line

A clogged toilet can be a mess to say the least and sometimes the clog persists until it is time to call a professional.  Unfortunately, a clogged toilet can sometimes be a harder problem to fix.  In some cases, home owners of San Francisco will find that a persistently clogged toilet is a sign of some other type of plumbing issue that will not go away on its own.

Many parts of San Francisco consist of older buildings, which means over time nature may have taken its toll on the plumbing lines. Some seriously clogged toilet problems can be the result of collapsed sewer lines or tree roots that have blocked the flow.  This is when it is best to call on a professional plumber.  A professional plumber has the tools and the experience necessary to fix all types of plumbing issues, great and small.

In most cases, the plumber will use a tool called a snake to free up any type of obstruction in the line, but if the problem happens to be a collapsed sewer line the cost to fix it is not as bad as it used to be. 

New technologies have made it possible to replace old and damaged sewer lines without having to dig up the whole yard. Trenchless sewer line replacement is the best and least expensive way to fix persistent plumbing problems.  With trenchless sewer line replacement, a job that would have taken several days to fix can be done in half the time and without the mess of digging up the yard.

If your home’s clogged toilet problems are the result of other serious plumbing issues and you need to think about replacing the sewer line, than look to Magic Plumbing San Francisco professionals that know how to do trenchless sewer line replacements.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair And Replacement In San Francisco

Trenchless sewer replacement, an explanation?

Well, trenchless sewer line replacement is here to stay. The old traditional way of replacing a sewer line is to dig up the pipe, by hand or with a machine, and install in a new one. This way is very labor intensive old method and can be very costly when a line is in a difficult position, such as under a house, a road or under concrete.

The trenchless sewer replacement technology saves money and time and is particularly efficient when the sewer line is under a new driveway.

So how exactly does trenchless sewer replacement work?

Using this new sewer pipe replacement method we excavate a hole at the house where the cast iron pipe begins and we then dig a hole at the end near the curb at the street. We expose the sewer drain pipe in each hole and cut out small sections of pipe. Next, we feed a large strong steel cable between the two holes. Attached to this cable is a metal cone shaped head that breaks the old pipe in place to exactly the size of the new trenchless sewer pipe. The new sewer drain pipe is actually a black plastic pipe usually up to 7 inches in diameter. This sewer drain pipe is connected together by melting the ends of the pipe and joining them to create one continuous length of sewer drain pipe without any joints, eliminating leaks.

As we pull the cable through the sewer drain pipe with up to 3 tons of pressure, the splitting head bursts the old sewer drain pipe and pushes it out of the way making room for the new sewer drain pipe.

The actual replacement of the sewer drain pipe usually only takes a few hours and the work can be done in one day. There is no problem pulling through slabs of concrete or even residential and commercial buildings. This trenchless sewer replacement technology works well and because the new sewer drain pipe has no joints, is flexible so it will never crack or break and no roots can get into it.

The new sewer drain pipe also called HDPE pipe is very smooth internally so the sewer drain is very efficient for water, debris and toilet solids to flow freely.

Our professional plumbing technicians will find the cause of the drain problem and have the experience to advise you on the best possible solution to resolve the problem.

Our professional plumbing technicians Are Equipped To Handle Clogged Or Slow Drain Problems With The Right Equipment.

Our cable sewer & drain cleaning machines come in different sizes each specifically designed to clean each of the different drains, like large 6″ main sewer drains and small 1-1/2 vanity sink drains. The cable machines have cutting blades that rotate inside the clogged drain boring through the drain blockage and removing the obstruction through brute force allowing the water to wash it down the drain.

How Do We Handle Grease And Debris Blockages?

Magic Plumbing And Drain has been serving San Francisco for over 30 years. Back then we were know as Magic Rooter we specialized in sewer & drain cleaning we were the first local company to use Hydro-Jet technology. The Hydro Jet machine uses high pressured water to clean the inside of the drain, this scouring action removes all the debris that has built up in the drain over time. We use different nozzles on our machine to serve a particular purpose, for basic paper clogs we use a jetter nozzle that sprays backwards pushing the debris away into the main sewer drain.

Each Magic truck has an industrial Hydro-Jet machine installed, when we arrive onsite we have all the equipment we need to solve any drain problem within minutes.

For tough grease clogs like in restaurants and apartment buildings we use a jetter nozzle that spins inside the pipe. This spinning action forces high powered water at a near 90 degree angle to the pipe wall, this action emulsifies the grease destroying it within minutes allowing it to flow like liquid away into the main sewer pipe. If the same was done with a regular jetting nozzle large sections of grease will still hold to the sides of the pipe, the problem with this is those pieces fall into the drain and due to their size become logged at bends and clog the main sewer pipe again.

We have a drain maintenance program to keep drain pipes flowing fee and clear all the time, this is mostly used by restaurants that have to battle drains clogged with grease.

So if you have grease in your drain and it keeps backing up, in most cases the problem is incorrect equipment being used and the technique the pipe cleaner is using.

This is a long-lasting solution to unblock a drain full of grease, soap or sand, and the fastest way to fix a clogged drain and to make sure the drain is as good as new.
