Persistent main-line backups in Summer Sands
A homeowner in the Summer Sands neighborhood of Neptune Beach contacted us after persistent backups in their main line. Upon using our high-definition sewer camera, Erick Rose identified a double threat: aggressive root intrusion from nearby crepe myrtle and a “belly” (a sagging section) in the old pipe where standing water was collecting and causing blockages.
26 feet of new sewer line at the correct pitch
While other companies might suggest a temporary “snake” or chemical treatment, Erick knew that Neptune Beach’s sandy soil and high water table required a permanent fix. He expertly excavated and replaced 26 feet of compromised line, correcting the pitch to eliminate the belly.
“In neighborhoods like Summer Sands, the shifting sandy soil frequently leads to ‘bellies’ in older pipes. If you don’t correct the slope during the replacement, the problem will just return in 24 months. We do it right the first time.”
