Making sure your septic system is up to par is extremely important to prevent sewer line problems that could result in damage to your home. Sewer lines can become clogged, and in such instances, they can cause backflow that results in major home damage.

Here at Howell Services, we provide the full line of sewer line maintenance services. These preventative services can save you money and stress in the long run. We offer hydro-jetting, which is basically a pressure washing of septic lines.

With hydro-jetting, the lines are completely scoured. The high pressure of the water ensures all clogs or blockages in the lines are cleared out completely. By regularly having septic lines cleaned out, you reduce the risks of clogging and sewer backups.

Sources of Sewer Line Damage

Many things can result in sewer line clogs or damage. Flushing things down the toilet can cause major clogs in the sewer line. Make sure you have a garbage can in your bathroom for people to throw cotton swabs, wipes, paper towels and similar products away so they won’t be tempted to throw them in the commode.


Tree roots can also grow into the septic system clogging lines and causing major blockages. Hydro-jetting can help clear tree roots from the lines as well. Tree roots can wreak havoc on your entire plumbing system, causing leaks that may go unnoticed and cause damage to your home’s floors and walls. If you don’t properly address these issues right away, you could find yourself paying for expensive foundation repairs.

Older homes may have clay sewer pipes, which require replacement because they will crack and crumble with age. We can replace those with modern cast iron or plastic pipes, which will prove more effective and provide years of use.
