I called San Antonio Plumbing at 8 am on Thursday 6.20.24 for a potential recurring leak. I had previously been dealing with a main water line issue that had been repaired by another company. The dispatcher said they could have someone out within an hour and a half. Johnny and Israel from San Antonio Plumbing showed up about 30 minutes later. They did a great job throughly checking both the internal and external water system.Turns out we didn’t have a leak after all but some other issues we need to look at (RO system, possible faulty meter, etc.) I truly appreciate the prompt service, free estimate, and honest assessment! I will most definitely call San Antonio Plumbing back for any plumbing related issues!!!

Eric from San Antonio Plumbing provided exceptional service during his recent work at our property. His skill was outstanding, demonstrating a high level of knowledge and attention to detail. Not only did he efficiently reroute the damaged line in our slab, but he also ensured that everything was seamlessly integrated with minimal atheistic impact. Eric's dedication to quality was evident in every aspect of the project, from the precision placement of the new line to the efficient deactivation of the original slab line.Furthermore, Eric's professionalism was exemplary throughout the process. He took the extra time to listen to our concerns and ensured that the new rerouted line was precisely placed to efficiently feed water to our fridge to code. His commitment to customer satisfaction was evident, and we were delighted with the results. Thanks to Eric's expertise and meticulous workmanship, our slab leak was fixed in half a day’s time. We highly recommend Eric and San Antonio Plumbing for any plumbing needs, as they truly deliver top-notch service and expertise.

Frequently Ask Question

How often should you clear the main sewer line?
The main sewer line should be cleared at least every 18 to 24 months to prevent blockages and maintain proper flow. If your property has many trees, or you experience frequent issues, you may need to have it inspected and cleaned more often, such as annually.

Cleaning a sewer system involves several steps and specialized equipment:

  1. Inspection: Plumbers often start with a video inspection to identify the cause and location of the blockage.
  2. Snaking: A drain snake or auger can break up minor blockages in the sewer line.
  3. Hydro Jetting: This method uses high-pressure water to clean the sewer lines thoroughly, removing grease, debris, and tree roots.
  4. Chemical Cleaners: For certain types of buildup, safe and appropriate chemical cleaners may be used to dissolve blockages.
  5. Routine Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspections help to prevent major blockages and keep the sewer system functioning efficiently.

The best way to unclog a sewer often depends on the nature of the clog:

  1. Hydro Jetting: This is the most effective method for severe clogs and comprehensive cleaning, using high-pressure water to clear out the sewer line.
  2. Mechanical Augers: Professional-grade augers can break up stubborn blockages caused by tree roots or other hard obstructions.
  3. Chemical Treatments: Sometimes, specialized chemicals can dissolve grease and organic matter that are causing blockages, but they should be used with caution to avoid damage to the pipes.

Plumbers use a variety of chemicals to unclog drains, depending on the clog type and pipe material:

  1. Sulfuric Acid: Very powerful and effective against tough clogs but highly corrosive and should be handled with extreme care.
  2. Sodium Hydroxide (Lye): Effective for grease and organic blockages, but also corrosive.
  3. Enzyme Cleaners: These are safer for pipes and the environment and work by breaking down organic materials over time.
  4. Calcium Hypochlorite: Sometimes used for its strong oxidizing properties, effective against organic clogs.

The strongest solutions for unclogging a drain typically include:

  1. Professional Hydro Jetting: Uses high-pressure water jets to clear out blockages and clean the inside of the pipes thoroughly.
  2. Industrial Strength Drain Cleaners: These are powerful chemical solutions used by professionals that can dissolve tough clogs but must be used with caution.
  3. Mechanical Drain Snakes and Augers: Effective at breaking up and removing solid obstructions like tree roots and other debris.
  4. Enzyme-Based Cleaners: Although slower-acting, these are very effective for maintenance and clearing organic clogs without damaging pipes.
