What is the difference between a drain clog and a sewer backup?+
A local drain clog usually affects one fixture or a nearby group of fixtures. A sewer backup can affect several fixtures and often appears at the lowest drain in the property. The pattern helps identify where assessment should begin.
When does a drain need repair instead of cleaning?+
Repair may be needed when piping leaks, is damaged, has poor slope or repeatedly blocks because cleaning does not address the underlying defect.
What does a backwater valve do?+
A backwater valve is designed to reduce the risk of wastewater flowing from the municipal sewer back into the building drain. Suitability, installation requirements and maintenance should be reviewed for the property.
Do you service sump and sewage pumps?+
Yes. Hydra Plumbing installs and services sump pumps, sewage pumps and related backup arrangements, as well as residential well-pump systems.
