Main Sewer Line Unblocking in Bethesda, MD

Blockages in your main sewer line can affect all the drains in your home and often point to a more serious problem, such as tree root intrusion or pipe collapse. BVL Plumbing uses video camera inspection to accurately locate and diagnose these issues. We follow up with hydro jetting or trenchless repair methods to restore full flow and prevent future backups. Basements are common in much of the state, while homes on the flat coastal plain more often sit on crawlspaces or slabs because of a high water table.

Main Line Blockage Unblocking in Bethesda

If multiple drains are blocked or water comes up in the tub when you flush, the blockage is probably in the main line. We find the cleanout and run a heavy cable with a cutting head toward the street. Roots, wipes and grease are the most common causes. Once flow is restored, a camera inspection can show what is going on in the pipe. We recommend next steps based on what we see.

Blocked Kitchen Sink Unblocking in Bethesda, MD

A kitchen sink full of standing water usually means grease and food have sealed the line. If a disposal is involved, we check that it is not jammed and that the outlet is clear. We remove the trap and run a drum machine into the wall line. Once the blockage is out, we flush with hot water. We also share simple tips to keep grease out of the line.

Blocked Toilet Clearing in Bethesda

Toilets block from too much paper, flushable wipes, feminine products or solid objects. A closet auger with a protective sleeve clears most blockages without scratching the bowl. If an object is lodged in the trapway, we pull the toilet to retrieve it. We reset it with a new wax ring and test several flushes. Low-flow toilets with narrow trapways can block more easily, and we can advise on upgrades.
