DRAIN & SEWER

STRONG DRAINS ARE CREATED IN THE DRY SEASON

Do you keep telling yourself that you need to take care of your dirty gutters or neglected drains and pipes before the rain hits again? If you’re like many property owners, you don’t think much about your drainage and sewage systems until a storm threatens to cause damage. The longer you put off contacting J & H, the greater your chance of facing a property-damaging backup, foundation damage or a flooded basement.

If you don’t call us for routine cleaning and inspection, you will eventually call us for repairs that cost much more. Eliminate the stress by contacting us for preventative services.

Experienced Technicians on Standby 24/7

You don’t have to look at the calendar or clock to determine if it’s a suitable time to contact J & H for emergency services. When a crisis strikes, we have drain and sewer experts ready to react promptly. Our commitment to fast response times can help you minimize damage to your property and the overall cost of repair.

Drain Tile Cleaning You Can Trust

Neglected drain tiles increase your vulnerability to floods. They’re designed to collect water and direct it to your sump pump or away from your home or commercial building. When they become clogged or get too dirty, they don’t function properly. If neglected for too long, they may stop functioning altogether. The result is a flood that may damage your property.

The solution is simple: Contact J & H for a cleaning, and then follow through with routine maintenance. Your best protection is the expertise of our technicians.

INSPECTIONS FOR YOUR DRAINS & SEWER

Small issues in your drainage and sewer system can easily go unnoticed until they become serious problems that require costly repairs or complete replacement. Our technicians solve that problem by using advanced CCTV camera systems to thoroughly inspect your drains and sewer lines. We produce detailed color photos that reveal damages and blockages big and small. This allows you to fix the minor issues and avoid the emergencies.

Preventative Maintenance Beats Emergency Service

Our technicians are on call around the clock for emergency sewage and drainage services, but we prefer to protect our clients through routine maintenance. When you allow J & H technicians to inspect your sewer line and drains at least once a year, you can prevent those emergencies while extending the lifespan of your drainage system. For maximum savings in time and money, schedule biannual maintenance calls to look for potential problems and clean your lines.

The Benefits of CCTV Camera Inspections

Cameras allow us to see things that would otherwise remain hidden in the depths of your sewer lines and drains. We’ve invested in quality cameras with 360-degree viewing and advanced features like tilt and pan. We provide video inspection for pipes of all sizes, from 25-millimeter pipes to 600-millimeter pipes and residential drains to large bore drains. The result is greater precision that allows us to identify system damage and blockages up to 1,000 feet or 300 meters from your drain or sewer access points.

Do you want to see what our cameras may find in your lines? Contact J & H Service today to schedule a prompt maintenance and inspection appointment.

DRAIN TILE MAINTENANCE PREVENTS WATER DAMAGE

When installed correctly, your drain tail will divert water away from your home in order to prevent backups and property damage. It’s important that your tile system remain functional and free of blockage because the integrity of your home or commercial building is otherwise at risk. J & H was founded in 1956 and currently employs some of the most experienced and skilled technicians in the Midland area. We can help you assess the condition of your current drain tile, recommending maintenance routines, repairs and replacement as needed.

Comprehensive Drain Tile Services

Do you think your current drain tile system is outdated or inefficient? One call to J & H will connect you to drainage experts capable of identifying potential problems and recommending necessary repairs. If needed, we can discuss an upgrade to a new system that will protect your property for many years to come. Our licensed technicians are experienced with all types of drain tile installation, maintenance and repair. This includes tile scoping, perimeter drainage, tile repairs and new drainage line installations.

Protect Your Property from Dry Spells

The rainy season isn’t the only threat to your property. If your drain tail is surrounded by clay-rich soil, there’s always a danger of that soil hardening and compacting during a long dry spell. This prevents efficient drainage, putting your foundation footers at risk of damage. The solution is a water injection system capable of keeping that soil moist when the rain just isn’t falling. J & H technicians can give you more extensive details about this option, so contact us for more information and an on-site inspection.

If you know that your property isn’t fully protected from drain tile dysfunction, contact J & H Drain & Sewer Service for a free consultation and answers to all of your questions.

6 Tips to Avoid Costly Drainage & Sewer Repairs

1. Invest in maintenance now so you don’t need costly repairs later.

Properly maintained systems break down less often and are typically more affordable over time than neglected systems. If you do nothing else to prevent future repair bills, allow the professionals at J & H to inspect your drains at least once a year. Early diagnosis of clogs and other problems will prevent backups and other emergency situations.

ACME drainage and sewer maintenance services may include:

  • Checklist for comprehensive inspections
  • Clear debris
  • Eliminate clogs
  • Advanced video inspections for greater precision

We also use eco-friendly products of the highest quality, and our processes are always safe. If we wouldn’t put a chemical near our homes, we won’t use it on your home.

2. Tree roots are uncontrollable, but you can prevent them from damaging your sewer lines.

When left unchecked, tree roots will naturally grow in the search of water. Since your pipes contain water, they’re going to attract roots. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for those roots to damage your system. Routine maintenance service from J & H will clear the roots before they have a chance to cost you money.

3. Don’t underestimate the power of routine.

Every drain and pipe in your home needs routine maintenance annually or biannually, including sump pumps and gutters. When you maintain a consistent schedule for these services year after year, your routine will minimize your risk of system backups and other costly issues. Routine scheduling ensures that your systems are never neglected, saving you money in the long term.

4. Take advantage of technology.

J & H technicians are now armed with advanced cameras that allow you to clearly see even the deepest sections of your pipes and drains. This allows us to diagnose big problems that would otherwise go unnoticed until a crisis erupts. Talk to us about protecting your home with imaging.

5. Don’t neglect the drains located outside your home.

You may not pay much attention to these drains most of the time, but our technicians will gladly clear them out twice a year. Eliminating debris is the only way to prevent backups likely to damage your property.

6. Pay close attention to what goes down your drains.

Talk to every member of your household to ensure that they understand what does and doesn’t go down the drain. This includes educating your family about safe use of the garbage disposal. Your goal is to keep large items and those that won’t break down naturally out of your pipes. A hot water flush laced with some disinfectant will help as well.
