Sewer Line Hookups and Sewer Line Installation

The Portland and Vancouver area has encountered massive growth over the past 15 years. What was once plains and fields has become a metropolitan of schools, recreation facilities, shopping centers, housing developments and much more.

If you live in an area that has experienced significant growth, you may be required to forego your septic tank and hook up to the city sewer system. Many home owners who have their own septic systems are reluctant to switch over despite the many advantages of doing so. From our experience, some folks are overwhelmed by the idea of switching from septic to sewer as it is a big project that can be extremely expensive (though not always). Commonly, homeowners of septic systems cite they do not want to decommission their septic systems, since it is already an effective means of dealing with waste water, they do not want to pay a monthly utility bill to the city, and they do not want to deal with the hassle of connecting to the city sewer.

Fair enough. With a properly installed and properly maintained septic system, it would be difficult to find the value in switching over to a city sewer system. Unfortunately, many septic tanks are not maintained as they should, resulting in a significant failure rates that result in contaminated groundwater that will spread bacterial and viral illnesses. And sometimes progress just doesn’t let us keep what we like.

How Does the Septic to Sewer Line Conversion Process Work?

Before we can begin the sewer line installation and hook up process, you must first contact the city you reside in to get permission and to pay the required connection fees. After you have received permission from the city and paid your connection fees, Sarkinen Plumbing will be happy to start the sewer installation and hook up service. We can also help answer any questions you may have about the process of getting permission from your local government. We are committed to providing you with exemplary, high quality service and encourage you to contact us directly for more information.

Sarkinen Plumbing Can Clean Your Sewer Line Using Hydro Jet Technology

Hydro Jetting Delivers a Complete Clean of Your Pipes

Oftentimes problems with sewer pipes can be traced back to a clog in the line. While traditional snaking is a time-honored method of making a gap in the clog and removing a substantial portion of the issue, no plumber can help but leave something behind. This debris can later be the cause of new clogs and another call to the plumber.

Our Vancouver plumbers, however, are not limited to snaking. Each of our people are trained in the proper use of hydro jetting technology, which uses a rotating stream of high-pressure water to completely remove clogs and clean the interior surface of your sewer line.

Clean Even Fragile Lines with Hydro Jetting

As part of the process of clearing out your sewer lines, our plumbers will examine the state of your pipes to see if they are in fit condition for the pressures produced by hydro jetting. In some cases, the material may be too old and fragile, and in others the pipe itself may be compromised by tree roots or other damage.

But even in situations where the line is fragile, our plumbers are trained to know what pressures to use to hydro jet without causing damage even to fragile drain line systems.

Hydro Jetting Clears Residential and Commercial Sewer Lines

One of the great things about hydro jetting is that it’s a scalable solution to problems with a clogged sewer line. Which means that no matter the size of your pipes or how bad the clog is in your commercial or residential property, we can use hydro jetting to clear it. Contact us to learn how we can help.
