Every job starts with a camera. We run it through your line, show you the footage, and tell you straight what is causing the problem. Then we clear it the right way or tell you if the pipe itself needs to be repaired.
Most sewer problems get misdiagnosed. A plumber runs a snake, clears the immediate blockage, and sends you a bill. Six months later the problem is back because the root cause was never addressed. We do it differently.
We push a high-resolution camera through your sewer line from a cleanout or access point. The camera sends live footage to a monitor. You watch it with us. We explain what we are seeing, where the problem is located, and how far from your house it sits. When we are done, you have a clear picture of what is actually wrong and what the right fix is.
If the camera shows the pipe is structurally compromised, we explain what repair makes sense and why. If it shows a clearable blockage, we clear it and confirm the result on camera before we leave.
Buying a home? A sewer camera inspection before closing can save you a significant repair bill after. Older homes in Wisconsin often have clay laterals that a standard home inspection never evaluates. We run the camera, show you what is there, and give you the information you need before you commit.
A rotating cable with a cutting head sent through the pipe to break up root masses, grease buildup, and debris blockages. Effective for most common blockages in residential laterals. Fast and does not require significant setup.
High-pressure water blasted through the pipe to cut through root masses, flush grease and debris completely, and restore the pipe to near-original flow capacity. More thorough than mechanical cleaning and leaves the pipe interior clean for camera verification.
After the camera tells us what we are dealing with, we match the clearing method to the actual problem. A light root intrusion at one joint is a different job than a fully packed root mass in a 70-foot clay lateral. We do not use the same approach on both.
We run the camera a second time after clearing to confirm the blockage is fully gone and the pipe interior is clean. You see the before and after. We do not leave until the camera confirms it is clear.
Sometimes the camera shows a problem that cannot be solved by cleaning. A collapsed section, a severely offset joint, or a pipe so root-damaged that it collapses again within months of clearing. When that is the case, we tell you straight and explain what repair makes sense. We do not just clear it and let you call us again in six months.
Most residential camera inspections take between 30 minutes and an hour depending on access conditions and the length of the line being inspected. We show you the footage in real time and walk through what we found before we leave.
Not much. Try to avoid running water or flushing for about an hour before we arrive. If you know where your cleanout is, that helps, but we can find it if needed. We bring everything required for the inspection.
Often yes. We have resolved blockages that other companies were unable to get through. The combination of camera diagnosis and the right clearing method for the specific problem makes a significant difference. Call us at (715) 658-6070 and describe what happened.
We explain what we found, show you the footage, and tell you what the repair options are. If pipe bursting or CIPP lining makes sense, we explain why and give you a price. You have the full picture before we ask you to decide anything.
Yes. We serve Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Altoona, Lake Hallie, Fall Creek, and all of Chippewa and Eau Claire counties. We also serve a wide area of northwestern Wisconsin. Call (715) 658-6070 to confirm we reach your address.
A snake breaks up a blockage. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to cut through it and flush everything completely out of the line. For grease buildup, heavy root masses, or lines that have been repeatedly snaked and keep blocking, hydro-jetting clears them more completely and the results last longer.
Call Melvin at (715) 658-6070. We run the camera, show you what is happening, and tell you straight what needs to be done. No guessing, no upselling.
