What should I do if I have a sewer backup in my home?

Stop using water immediately and call me. I’ll guide you over the phone and head to your home as fast as possible to handle the emergency.

Do you provide 24/7 sewer backup emergency services in Falls Church?

Yes, I’m available 24/7 for emergency sewer backups in Falls Church and surrounding areas. These are serious problems and I treat them like it.

How do I know if the sewer backup is coming from my line or the city?

I use camera inspections to check whether the problem is inside your home’s plumbing or further down the city main line. I’ll find the source either way.

Can you clean and disinfect the area after a sewer backup?

Yes. I disinfect affected areas after clearing the blockage. Raw sewage is dangerous, and I treat cleanup as seriously as the repair itself.

What causes sewer line backups?

Tree roots, grease buildup, broken pipes, or collapsed lines are the most common causes. I’ve seen them all and know how to clear them out fast.

Most clogs can be cleared within 1–2 hours. If the line is damaged and needs repair, I’ll give you a plan and handle it quickly.

Can you repair sewer pipes if they’re cracked or collapsed?

Sometimes. I’ll help you document the damage so you can submit a claim if your policy includes backup coverage.

Do you offer sewer camera inspections?

Yes. I use professional sewer cameras to inspect your line, find the blockage, and show you what’s going on.

Why choose a veteran plumber for emergency sewer work?

Because I show up when others won’t. I bring Navy-level discipline, fast action, and honest work to every emergency.

How can I prevent future sewer backups?

I offer preventive inspections and can install backflow valves, clean your drains regularly, and advise you on what not to flush or pour.

Is it safe to stay in the house during a sewer backup?

If the sewage is contained and not spreading, it may be okay. But I always recommend keeping clear of the area until I’ve cleaned it and made it safe.

Do you handle basement backups and drain cleaning too?

Absolutely. I clear floor drains, remove sewer water, and get everything flowing properly again—fast.

What equipment do you use to clear backups?

I use high-powered drain machines, hydro-jetting equipment, and camera inspection tools to locate and remove serious clogs.

Do you guarantee your sewer line repairs?

Yes. I stand by my work. Most repairs include a warranty for both parts and labor, and I’ll explain the details before I start.
