Your water and drain pipes may be buried deep below the surface, but our equipment will give us a clear view of what’s going on inside them. Our video inspection service provides visibility of any clogs, sagging pipes, or tree roots that are causing issues inside your home’s plumbing system.

When the terrain around your home is disturbed, it can negatively affect the pipes underground. The biggest concern is that the dirt below the pipes may erode away, leaving the pipes to sag under their own weight and the weight of the water inside them. Over time, this will cause the pipes to crack and leak water into the surrounding soil.

It all depends on the unique features of your home and family. A small family with staggered showering, laundry, and dishwashing times can save a lot of money and water by switching to a tankless system. However, when multiple showers are needed in the evening while the dishes are being washed, for instance, a tankless heater may not be able to keep up with the demand.

The most common reason for the kitchen sink drain to back up is that the garbage disposal is not adequately grinding up food waste. Avoid rinsing eggshells, chicken bones, coffee grounds, and non-organic debris down the disposal unit. If you have a large amount of food waste to dispose of at a single time, discard it in the trash can instead of the disposal unit. These tips will help preserve the life of your disposal as long as possible.

The drain cleaner you buy at the store may be effective for minor clogs, but it can only do so much. If drains continue to back up or drain slowly, you should call RooterMan of Spartanburg for expert service from trained plumbers in Spartanburg, SC.
