Sewer Spot Repair in Salt Lake City, UT

Not every clogged drain is actually just a clog.
A Salt Lake City homeowner recently called Let’s Fix Plumbing because of a backed-up drain. Our first step was to try to clear the sewer line with our hydro jetter, which uses high-pressure water to break through stubborn blockages and clean buildup from the inside of the pipe.
But this clog wasn’t going anywhere.
When the jetter couldn’t get through, we brought out our sewer camera to find out what was stopping it. Unfortunately, there was so much sewage in the line that we couldn’t even get a clear view of the pipe.
Plumbing is glamorous sometimes.
Once we were able to investigate further, we determined that a damaged section of the sewer line needed a spot repair. Instead of replacing more of the sewer than necessary, we excavated the problem area and repaired the affected section.
While we had access to the sewer line, we also installed a double cleanout. Cleanouts provide plumbers with direct access to the sewer line from outside the home, making future camera inspections, drain cleaning, and hydro jetting much easier without having to access the line from inside the house.
Once the repair was complete, the work was inspected and passed inspection.
What started as a call for a clogged drain turned into a permanent repair to an underlying sewer problem, along with better access for maintaining the home’s sewer line in the future.

If you’re dealing with a recurring clogged drain or sewer backup in Salt Lake City, simply clearing the blockage may not always solve the underlying problem. Let’s Fix Plumbing offers sewer camera inspections, hydro jetting, sewer spot repairs, cleanout installation, and sewer line repair to find out what’s actually happening underground and recommend the right solution.
