When the main sewer line clogs, every drain in the house stops working. Tubs and floor drains usually back up first because they're the lowest fixtures. The Rooter Sewer and Drain Man Service specializes in main sewer cleaning across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Southwest Florida — it's one of the most common calls we run.
We don't guess. We start at the proper cleanout, run a heavy-duty cable or hydro jetter sized for a 3- to 6-inch sewer line, and then drop an HD camera in to verify the line is actually clean and to show you any defects. Most of the recurring sewer backups we see in Southwest Florida are caused by tree root intrusion at clay or cast iron joints, grease buildup, or sagging pipe sections (bellies) where waste settles.
Once the line is clear, we'll give you an honest recommendation. If the line is in good shape, you don't need anything else. If it has root intrusion or structural issues, we'll quote sewer line repair, spot repairs, or full replacement — with the camera footage as proof.
