A Drainage Minute: The Reid & Pederson Drainage Blog

A homeowner in Dyer, Indiana, contacted us after experiencing issues with their sewer line. Concerned about proper drainage and potential blockages, they needed professional assistance to identify the problem and restore normal flow.

Our technician accessed the sewer line through the outside cleanout at the back of the home and performed sewer rodding in Dyer to clear the obstruction. During the process, we encountered minor root intrusion and successfully restored flow through the line. Once the blockage was cleared, we performed a video camera inspection to evaluate the overall condition of the sewer system and check for any underlying issues.

The inspection revealed that the sewer line was in generally good condition, although some sediment buildup was present. To help maintain proper drainage and reduce the likelihood of future blockages, we recommended annual sewer rodding. Hydro jetting may also be beneficial to provide a more thorough cleaning and remove accumulated sediment from the pipe.

With the sewer line flowing properly and no major structural concerns identified during the inspection, the homeowner now has a functioning drainage system and a better understanding of the maintenance needed to keep it in good condition.
