Sewer and Drain Cleaning Service | Sewer Camera Video Inspection | Nassau County | Suffolk County | Long Island | NY

Sewer Cleaning job on Long Island. Customer wanted a 2nd opinion on his sewer. Sewer line was cleaned a week prior due to a back up. Other sewer company pulled out roots and recommended digging the sewer line up so we were there to scope and locate problem. Showed customer the roots growing in the sewer and located the spot in the middle of his driveway 8 feet down. We asked him if he wanted us to clean the sewer while we were already there. He said yes and we showed him the sewer line on the sewer camera after we cleaned it with a sewer cable and proper blade. We told him that this sewer line could be maintained by having us snake it every year or 2 versus digging up his driveway which would cost thousands. He chose to maintain. #sewercleaningservicenassaucounty #sewercleaningservicesuffolkcounty

Sewer Cleaning Service | Long Island | NY

Sewer Cleaning & Sewer Water Jetting job in Nassau County, NY earlier this month. Contractor was remodeling the whole house. Water jetted the sewer line and all went well with that. Previous contractor had "re-piped" the kitchen drain line with pvc. Piping runs under the slab. We decided to scope that line as well just in case because one fitting above ground was installed backwards. Good thing we did. Previous contractor reconnected to existing line without knowing that under the slab the drain line was actually broken. This job was in Merrick, NY, down by the water where the soil is sandy and will absorb water rapidly. This is probably why the homeowner never noticed the kitchen drain backing up. We hate giving bad news but better to get it before this whole kitchen was finished and a problem with this line pops up later.

Sewer and Drain Cleaning Service | Nassau | Suffolk | Long Island

This pic is from a sewer cleaning job in Suffolk County, NY. After cleaning the sewer we scoped the line with our sewer camera and found a large offset that will need to be repaired. We also sewer line located this pipe right next to a tree. The tree that was planted right on top of the sewer line had large enough roots to push this sewer pipe out of place. This line was replaced a while ago. If any sewer is going to be replaced or spot repaired than we would suggest not planting anything near it.  Next time you have a clogged sewer line call American Sewer & Drain Cleaning Inc. for a sewer cleaning and get a sewer camera inspection which is at no charge to you. Most sewers are maintainable and others will need to be repaired. If we find that you should repair your sewer we will refer you to one of our plumbers who specializes in sewer repairs and has an excellent reputation and charges appropriately as our customers have called to say "Thank You" after getting several other estimates from other sewer companies.

Sewer & Drain Cleaning Plumber | Nassau County | Suffolk County | Long Island | New York

We went out to a customer's home this morning for a clogged sewer. This sewer line was serviced by another sewer and drain cleaning company 2 months ago. We removed the out going cap on the sewer trap and did not have any water backing up so we loosened the sewer trap in cap and could see it starting to lea out so we knew we had a trap stoppage. We snaked through the sewer trap to clear the stoppage but didn't quite feel right. We put on the long gloves and reached in the trap and pulled out another cap that was left inside there (Bottom Of Pic). This is the inner part of the cap minus the lead which are usually called Fit All Plugs due to the lead ring around the cap which will mold itself into the sewer trap opening. The original cap material on most sewers were brass but over time the threads on the sewer trap start to wear and a brass cap can no longer grab well enough to be threaded on. We used our sewer camera to inspect the rest of the line in and out to the street to find yet one more stoppage starting to form due to a root mass 40 feet from the trap. We used a 6 inch blade to scrape it out, showed our customer a clean sewer line and were on our way.

Sewer Line Cleaning Service | Sewer Clogged From Tree Roots | American Sewer & Drain Cleaning | Massapequa, New York

Tree roots account for 90% of all the sewer calls that we go and service. We can clear up a great amount of the roots that are growing into your sewer line if there are no severe offsets at the joints. Offsets are 2 pieces of misaligned pipes which are often caused by soil erosion from a leaking joint or roots pushing against a section of pipe at the joint. Once your sewer is infested from roots it is always going to be an ongoing issue until either the sewer is dug up and repaired and the roots are cut back from the backhoe while digging it up or if the tree source is known and removed. Even with removal of the source the remaining roots can continue to grow for the next few years. Below are a couple of pictures of a sewer before and after we cleaned it with a sewer cable machine. This customer's last sewer cleaning was back in the year 2000. It made a real mess in their basement and ruined a lot of personal property that was stored there. If your sewer has ever been clogged due to tree roots then we suggest that you do a yearly sewer cleaning maintenance. Also if you are spending money on these chemicals that kill roots in your sewer then I would suggest using a foaming agent that will reach the top of the sewer pipe where 90% of root infestation begins. Have an excellent week! We service Long Island and Queens, New York in these cities:Massapequa, NY, Seaford, NY, Wantagh,NY, Bellmore, NY, Merrick, NY, Farmingdale, NY, Bethpage, NY, Plainview, NY, Syosset, NY, Hicksville, NY, Westbury, NY, Jericho, NY,  Baldwin, NY, Massapequa Park, NY, Mineola, NY, Garden City, NY, Hempstead, NY, Levittown, NY, Uniondale, NY, Roosevelt,NY, Rockville Centre, NY, Lynbrook, NY, East Rockaway, NY, Valley Stream, NY, Woodmere, NY, Lawrence, NY, Cedarhurst, NY, Franklin Square, NY, Elmont, NY, Floral Park, NY, East Meadow, NY, New Hyde Park, NY, Great Neck, NY, Port Washington, NY, Glen Cove, NY, Albertson, NY, Williston Park, NY, East Hills, NY, Brookville, NY, Locust Valley, NY, Woodbury, NY, Oyster Bay, NY, Oceanside, NY, Long Beach, NY, Atlantic Beach, NY, Hewlett, NY, Freeport, NY, Old Bethpage, NY, Carle Place, NY, Roslyn, NY, Plainedge, NY, Bayville, NY, East Norwich, NY, Island Park, NY, Malverne, NY, Manhasset, NY, Mill Neck, NY, Old Westbury, NY, Roslyn Heights, NY, Sea Cliff, NY, Amityville, NY, Lindenhurst, NY, Babylon, NY, West Babylon, NY, Wheatley Heights, NY, Copiague, NY, Huntington, NY, Huntington Station, NY, Melville, NY, Wyandanch, NY, West Hills, NY, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, Greenlawn, NY, Bayshore, NY, Commack, NY, Islip, NY, Lake Ronkonkoma, NY, Northport, NY, Patchogue, NY, Port Jefferson, NY, Sayville, NY, Smithtown, NY, Deer Park, NY, Dix Hills, NY, Fort Salonga, NY, Setauket, NY, Flushing, NY, Little Neck, NY, Douglaston, NY, Fresh Meadows, NY, Bayside, NY, Whitestone, NY, Queens Village, NY

Clogged Drain Service | Clogged Sewer Service | Nassau County | Suffolk County | Long Island | New York

We went out to a job today which we thought would be a simple sewer cleaning call. As it turned out this sewer was in poor condition with multiple separations and cracks. The homeowner only noticed a backup today when doing laundry. By the looks of this sewer line as viewed on the sewer camera and the amount of toilet paper that was clogging this sewer, more than likely there has been a clog for at least a month or longer and water was slowly draining out making it undetectable until enough paper and waste had completely clogged the sewer. We were able to clear out the sewer but a 40 foot sewer replacement was going to be needed. Customer was informed and viewed the camera as we showed all of the different sections of this sewer causing problems. Because our prices are very affordable, this customer had us locate and mark out the sewer so they could get estimates on a replacement. By having us do the mark out of the sewer line this customer has already saved money and will be able to have any plumbing contractor come and give an estimate without having to pay an additional charge for more camera work and locating. Here are some pics from this job today.

Sewer Rooter Cleaning Service w/ Sewer Camera Inspection - American Sewer & Drain Cleaning Inc.

Making sure your sewer is cleaned properly is our top priority. We want to make sure that our sewer service is of great value to you. We double check our work after snaking your sewer using a sewer camera. We offer a great price for sewer cleaning service, probably one of the best in New York. One of our customers who left us a review on our Google Plus page commented that he price shopped and was given the same price by all the sewer companies but the one thing we included that the others didn't was a sewer camera inspection. He also commented "How else are you going to know if the line is cleaned without the sewer camera". This is exactly how we feel as well so we will always clean your sewer to the best of our ability and let you see for yourself on the sewer camera a before and after. The next couple of sewer pics shown is of the same spot that was CLEANED using a 3 1/2 inch blade and then a full diameter blade.

A house sewer line is usually 4 inches in diameter inside the home but once it exits the home it will usually increase to a diameter size of 5 or 6 inches. Without using a sewer camera, you the homeowner, will never know how clean that sewer really is as long as the water is flowing. There are many sewer cleaners running around for $40 & $50 who work on commission and go in a customers house and CLEAR the sewer line with a 2 or 3 inch blade, get the water flowing and they're gone. If it backs up again in a few days your lucky if he comes back. They know most homeowners will not waste a day in court for $50. Most homeowners will take this as a lesson learned. We've even been to customers homes where the sewer company they hired came in with a toilet auger to CLEAR the sewer.(Toilet Auger- It's a 3 foot snake that is used ONLY to unclog a toilet.) How long your sewer stays open is going to be determined on how well it was cleaned, especially if your sewer is clogged from tree roots.
