IN HARVEY , I LL INOI S A SEWER REPAIR THAT AVOIDED DISASTER
This was a very dangerous situation that the property owner was previously unaware of. With our repair, disaster was averted, and our customer was appreciative and relieved that we not only discovered the problem but also corrected it quickly and efficiently. Since the repair, she is happy with her results and vows to remain our customer for life.
Sometimes even the most routine sewer rodding jobs can lead to urgent and unexpected repairs. We recently experienced this firsthand when rodding a sewer at a housing complex in Harvey, Illinois. A property owner called our office to schedule a sewer rodding because her building was experiencing a backup. While our technicians were rodding from the basement, they hit a blockage they couldn’t get past in the overhead pipes at the back of the building. Pulling back, they discovered a tracer wire connected to the gas line had come out with their rodding equipment. Immediately recognizing a potentially dangerous situation, they sent a camera down the line and found a gas line running directly through the sewer line. If this gas line had been unknowingly cut during our sewer rodding, natural gas would have been released into the sewer system, creating a disastrous situation. We called the gas company right away and immediately repaired the sewer line to restore the flow of the system. During the repair, our team dug down to the damaged pipe and replaced roughly four feet of clay pipe with PVC pipe. We also installed a cleanout on the property for easier rodding in the future.
