A mainline problem caused by tree root intrusion, pipe damage, or heavy buildup can back up your entire home. Call Saul Plumbing has the equipment and expertise to diagnose and fix the real problem — not just push it further down the pipe.
Our Mainline Repair Services
Main Line Clearing
When multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up, the problem is usually in the main line. We clear it with power augers and hydro-jet equipment.
Mainline Camera Inspection
We run a camera through your main line to identify the exact location and cause of recurring blockages — root intrusion, pipe collapse, bellied pipe, or heavy buildup.
Root Intrusion Treatment
Tree roots are a leading cause of sewer line damage in Arizona's older neighborhoods. We mechanically remove roots and treat lines to slow regrowth.
Mainline Repair & Replacement
When camera inspection reveals cracked, collapsed, or severely damaged pipe, we repair or replace the affected section — minimizing excavation where possible.
Hydro-Jetting
High-pressure water jetting scours pipe walls clean of grease, scale, and debris — restoring full pipe diameter and flow for long-lasting results.

Common Questions
How often should mainlines be cleaned?
For most homes, every 18–24 months. Homes with large trees near the main line, older clay or cast iron pipes, or frequent blockage history may benefit from annual cleaning.
What is hydro-jetting and do I need it?
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to scour pipe walls completely clean. It's the most thorough cleaning method and is recommended for recurring blockages or pre-purchase inspections.
What causes mainline backups?
The most common causes are tree root intrusion, grease and debris buildup, collapsed or bellied pipe sections, and aging clay or cast iron lines. A camera inspection identifies the exact cause so we can fix it properly.
