Video Inspection
Autumn Air's expert plumbers use advanced video inspection technology to proactively identify the causes of sewer pipe and drainage issues before they worsen. We insert a thin, fiber optic video line into your drainage system to visually inspect your sewer and water lines, thoroughly examining the entire network to detect potential problems or locate known issues. This method allows us to find hidden problems that may only be visible through camera inspection.
Once we identify the root cause, Autumn Air's technicians offer professional advice to help you choose the most cost-effective repair or replacement option. Video scans also efficiently detect root intrusion damage to your sewer pipes and drainage infrastructure without excavating your yard.

Clogs
While hair is frequently blamed, it's not the sole factor contributing to drain blockages. Explore further insights into causes and effective methods for unclogging drains, or refer to our compilation below outlining common triggers:
When soap scum builds up, it can narrow the diameter of your pipes, restricting water flow and leading to clogs and slow drainage. Autumn Air's skilled plumbers have the expertise and tools necessary to effectively remove soap residue from your plumbing system. Our team uses specialized techniques and cleaning solutions to break down and flush away soap scum, ensuring that your pipes remain clear and free-flowing.
Cooking oils, grease, and fats may seem like harmless kitchen byproducts, but pouring them down your sink or drain can create serious plumbing issues. When these substances cool, they solidify and adhere to the walls of your pipes, causing gradual buildup that can lead to stubborn clogs and slow drainage. By addressing these issues promptly and professionally, Autumn Air helps you maintain a healthy plumbing system and avoid costly repairs down the road.
While toilet paper is designed to be flushed, not all types are created equal. Some toilet papers, particularly those that are thicker, softer, or more luxurious, may not break down as easily in water, leading to potential clogs in your plumbing system. These higher-quality toilet papers can sometimes remain intact as they move through your pipes, accumulating and combining with other debris to form blockages that impede water flow.
Flushing items like tissues, paper towels, and napkins can lead to serious clogs in your plumbing system, as these materials do not break down easily like toilet paper. Autumn Air's skilled plumbers have the tools and expertise to quickly and efficiently remove these clogs, restoring proper flow to your pipes and helping you avoid more severe plumbing issues.
Foreign objects, such as toys, jewelry, or other items, can accidentally fall into drains and cause stubborn clogs. Autumn Air's experienced plumbers have the expertise and tools necessary to locate and remove these objects, quickly resolving the issue and preventing potential damage to your plumbing system.
Tree roots and outdoor debris can infiltrate your pipes through small cracks or gaps, causing significant clogs and potentially damaging your plumbing system. Autumn Air's knowledgeable plumbers use advanced techniques, such as hydro jetting and video camera inspections, to identify and effectively remove tree roots and debris, ensuring your pipes remain clear and functional.
Mineral buildup can accumulate in pipes over time, restricting water flow and leading to clogs. Autumn Air's professional plumbers use safe and effective methods to remove mineral deposits, restoring your pipes to their optimal performance.
Makeup and cosmetic residue, such as makeup wipes and cotton swabs, can accumulate in your drains, causing clogs and slow water drainage. Autumn Air's skilled plumbers use specialized tools and techniques to safely remove these buildups, ensuring your drains remain clear and free-flowing.
Sewers
Your sewer and water lines endure significant strain. From the copious amounts of water flushed down to the greasy residues poured into kitchen drains, these essential lines are under continual stress. When subjected to excessive wear and tear, your sewer or water line may falter, leading to blockages, sluggish drainage, and occasionally mold growth.
Indications that it might be prudent to enlist the services of a plumber include:
1. Gradual drainage
2. Blocked drains
3. Drainage bubbling
4. Water backups
5. Visible mold presence
6. Abnormally high water bills
7. Pervasive odors within your residence
8. Foundation cracks
How to prevent sewer and draining issues.
Though it may appear burdensome, maintaining your sewer and water line on a regular basis can significantly mitigate potential issues and thwart the emergence of larger problems. Before seeking the assistance of a plumber, here are several proactive steps you can take to ensure the optimal functionality of your system.
Prevent Drain Blockages:
To prevent serious sewer line issues, avoid flushing items like napkins, wipes, and paper towels, as they don't dissolve properly in water. In the kitchen, don't pour grease down the drain, as it can cause blockages, and be cautious with food waste to prevent clogs. If you have children, ensure they don't introduce small objects into the drain. Even if an item flushes successfully, it may still get stuck in the sewer line.
Mitigate Root Issues:
Roots from trees, shrubs, and other vegetation can pose a significant threat to sewer systems. To preempt root-related damage to your sewer system, take note of the location of your sewer lines and refrain from planting foliage nearby. Typically, roots will extend toward the pipes beneath your property if they're seeking a water source. Thus, it's crucial to adequately water your plants to deter them from seeking moisture from your sewer line.
