Plugged Drains and Sewers
Plugged drains and sewers have been a problem for as long as they’ve existed, certainly more than 2000 years! Of course, proper care and maintenance can make such issues rare, but I doubt that we’ll ever be able to prevent them totally. But all is not lost! With our professional grade equipment and skilled technicians Petersen Plumbing can locate and unclog your sewer or drain quickly!
We have everything from small hand-snakes to a trailer-mounted jetter, and the cameras that let you see your sewer problem in Real-Time, from the inside out! What that means for you is, we can handle anything from a minor job like a plugged toilet, or a clogged kitchen or bathroom drain, up to and including a full-blown sewer replacement.
