When to book one
- Repeat backups on the same line
- Slow drains in several fixtures at once
- Before you close on a house
- Before any hydro jetting job
- After the town says the problem is on your side
For a sewer backup, call your town's public works department first. In Cranford, for example, public works checks whether a backup is the town's responsibility or the homeowner's.
What happens after the camera
Most clogs clear with a snake, a standard drain cleaning. If the video shows buildup, hydro jetting in Union County is the next step. If the pipe is broken, the video camera footage and depth help you price a sewer line repair with any plumbing contractor.
