For clogs and stoppages in your tub, sink, or main drain lines, we use our state-of-the-art cable snake machine to clear the problem. We’ll then check the line with our Drain Vision system, where a tiny camera is inserted to verify the drain has been cleaned of all debris.

For a typical toilet clog, we’ll start by checking the seal and toilet mechanics first. If the issue is in the drain line, our cable snake machine can get it out.

Clogged drains are common, especially in tubs and showers where soap and hair can build up and slow the drain. There are some simple tips you can try to unclear your drain, but for more serious blockages, call GEM.

For serious clogs in your sewer or drainage systems, we use high-pressure hydro jetting to clear the line. These water lines can be long runs of 100 feet or more, underground, and inaccessible for snaking. Hydro jetting blasts water at 4000 PSI through the pipe and easily removes large obstructions and years of sediment buildup. Hydro jetting will clear any roots infiltrating your pipes to prevent costly damage. Afterward, we check the pipe with a camera to ensure all debris has been cleared.

As pipes age and trees grow, tree roots will often creep into pipes in search of moisture and nutrients. GEM’s plumbers have seen how far tree roots can travel up pipes and how easily they slip in through the tiniest cracks and joints to infiltrate your system.

Once a tree root discovers water, the tree will often step up root growth in that area to take advantage of the moisture. As the roots grow, they increase the size of the hole and can cause a major clog or even a burst pipe. It’s incredibly important to take care of tree roots right away before they ruin your pipes.
