What's the difference between drain cleaning and hydro jetting?

Drain cleaning with a cable (snake) breaks through a clog so water flows again. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale and roots off the entire pipe wall. Snaking is right for a simple clog; jetting is the better fix for lines that keep clogging.

How do I know if my sewer line is damaged?

Common signs of a damaged sewer line are repeat backups in the main line, several drains clogging at once, gurgling toilets, sewage smells, and soggy or sunken spots in the yard. A video camera inspection confirms it and shows exactly where the damage is.

What is a sewer camera inspection, and when do I need one?

A sewer camera inspection runs a waterproof camera through the line to show roots, cracks, sags and blockages without digging. It's worth doing before buying an older home, when drains keep backing up, or before agreeing to a sewer replacement. Tuskin Plumbing includes a camera inspection with $49 drain cleaning.

Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?

Yes. Tuskin Plumbing offers trenchless sewer options, including pipe bursting and epoxy pipe lining, along with traditional spot repairs and full replacement. Trenchless methods replace or seal the pipe through small access points, which saves landscaping, driveways and time. Whether a line qualifies depends on its condition, which the camera shows.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Repeat clogs usually mean something in the pipe keeps catching debris: tree roots, grease buildup, mineral scale, a sag (belly) in the line or a cracked joint. Clearing the clog doesn't fix those. A camera inspection finds the cause, and hydro jetting or a repair fixes it.
