Restore Your Pipes: Professional Descaling Services
 
Over time, your sewer lines accumulate more than just soft waste. In homes with cast iron pipes, the most damaging issue is scale. Scale is a hard, thick buildup of rust, corrosion, and mineral deposits (like calcium and magnesium) that sticks to the inside of your pipes, hardening like concrete.
Signs you may have scale buildup:

  • Drains that run slowly, even after snaking

  • Frequent or recurring clogs

  • Gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains

  • Unpleasant sewer odors

  • Pinhole leaks or water damage

A standard drain snake can't solve this problem. It may punch a small hole through a soft blockage, but it leaves the hard scale behind, meaning your problem will return quickly.
 
The Victor Sewer Solution: Advanced Descaling
 
At Victor Sewer, we use advanced mechanical descaling equipment. Our high-speed descaling machines feed a specialized chain into your pipe. As it spins, it safely scours the inner walls, grinding the hardened scale and rust into a fine powder that simply flushes away.
This process restores your pipe to its original diameter, dramatically improving flow and eliminating the rough surfaces that cause clogs. Descaling is the most effective way to save your existing cast iron pipes, prevent costly backups, and extend the life of your entire plumbing system.
 
Stop Tree Roots from Destroying Your Pipes 
 
The Problem: How and Why Tree Roots Invade Pipes
 
Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture, oxygen, and nutrients found in sewer lines. They can infiltrate pipes through even the smallest crack, hairline fracture, or joint separation.
Once inside, they grow into a dense, thick mass, catching toilet paper and debris. This creates massive, stubborn clogs that can cause raw sewage to back up into your home—a messy, expensive, and unsanitary disaster.
 
The Victor Sewer Solution: Root Cutting & Hydro-Jetting
 

A simple snake can't handle a serious root invasion. Victor Sewer has the right tools for the job. We use:

  1. Specialized Root Cutters: Our powerful cutting heads shred the dense root mass, clearing the main blockage and restoring flow.

  2. High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting: After cutting, we often follow up with our hydro-jetter. This tool blasts the pipe walls with water at over 4,000 PSI, removing any remaining roots and debris, leaving your pipe perfectly clean.

After removing the roots, we can perform a video camera inspection to assess the pipe's condition and recommend permanent solutions, such as trenchless pipe lining, to prevent the roots from ever coming back.
 
Don't Wait for a Plumbing Disaster
 
Whether you're dealing with stubborn scale in your cast iron pipes or an invasive tree root blockage, the team at Victor Sewer has the technology and expertise to diagnose and solve your problem. We don't just clear clogs—we provide lasting solutions.
