Frequently Asked Questions About Flow King Rooter Plumbing
What is a sewer line camera inspection and why would I need one?
A sewer line camera inspection is a diagnostic procedure where our certified plumbers utilize high-definition waterproof cameras to examine the interior of your pipes. This method allows us to efficiently identify issues such as blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or collapsed sections without the need for extensive excavation. If you're experiencing persistent drainage problems, frequent backups, or unpleasant odors, a sewer camera inspection in St. Louis is the most effective way to accurately diagnose the issue before it escalates into a more costly repair.
What is a sewer lateral and who is responsible for it?
A sewer lateral is the underground pipe that connects your property's plumbing system to the municipal sewer main. In most instances, property owners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of this section, not the city. Our company, Flow King Rooter Plumbing, specializes in sewer lateral inspections and replacements throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. We are certified to handle Sewer Lateral Insurance Program claims and offer trenchless repair options to minimize disruption to your property.
How does trenchless sewer repair work?
Trenchless sewer repair is an advanced method that utilizes cutting-edge technology to repair or replace damaged sewer laterals without extensive excavation of your property. Depending on the specific condition, we can perform pipe bursting to replace the old line or pipe relining to install a new liner within the existing pipe. This approach is typically more efficient, less disruptive, and more cost-effective than traditional excavation methods, while also providing a long-lasting solution.
How often should I schedule a drain cleaning service?
For residential properties, we recommend scheduling professional drain cleaning annually to prevent accumulation of grease, soap residue, hair, and food particles. Commercial properties or restaurants may require more frequent cleanings, potentially on a quarterly basis, due to higher usage. At Flow King Rooter Plumbing, we employ hydro jetting and advanced drain snakes to effectively clear your lines and restore optimal flow. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding backups and emergency situations in the future.
How long does a water heater typically last?
The average lifespan of a standard tank water heater is approximately 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can potentially last over 20 years with proper maintenance. Regular flushing, inspections, and timely repairs are essential for maximizing your system's longevity. Flow King Rooter Plumbing offers comprehensive annual maintenance plans to ensure your hot water system operates efficiently throughout the year.
What causes frequent sewer backups?
Frequent sewer backups are often attributed to several factors, including tree root intrusion, damaged sewer laterals, excessive grease accumulation, or foreign objects obstructing the main line. Our camera inspection service can precisely locate the source of the problem and determine whether a thorough drain cleaning or a more extensive sewer repair is necessary. We always provide our clients with video footage and clear explanations to facilitate informed decision-making.
Do you provide commercial plumbing and drain services?
Indeed, we do. Flow King Rooter Plumbing caters to a wide range of commercial clients, including property managers, restaurants, office buildings, and industrial facilities across the St. Louis region. Our services encompass scheduled maintenance plans, emergency response, and same-day service for commercial drain cleaning, water heater issues, and sewer line repairs.
