Rio Rancho, NM, Sewer Maintenance
At First Rate Plumbing Heating and Cooling Inc, we recommend an annual cleaning to keep waste from building up in your sewer line. We offer hydro jetting, which sends a powerful blast of water through the sewer pipe to flush sludge, grease, and other materials.
Hydro jetting is ideal for a structurally sound sewer line. We can suggest an alternative cleaning method for an older, weakened pipe that cannot withstand high-pressure water jetting.
You can help keep your sewer pipe free of clogs. Avoid putting non-flushable products in your toilet, and refrain from pouring grease down sink drains.
First Rate Plumbing Heating and Cooling Inc offers all our customers a convenient Club Membership to handle all your maintenance efficiently and professionally. Sign up today and enjoy some peace of mind when it comes to the plumbing equipment inside your home or business.
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair
You can't see your sewer line fail because it runs under your property, out of view. However, plumbing fixtures and drains in your home can offer some clues about sewer damage.
For example, waste flowing from your floor drain, shower, or toilet is a warning sign that your sewer line may need repair. It is a good idea to at least have it inspected.
Other signs your sewer line needs repair:
- Sinks, tubs, and showers all drain slowly. If just one drain is slow, there may be a clog in that drain, but several slow drains point to a more extensive issue.
- Toilet backups may signal a sewer problem.
- Drains that emit sewer odors should prompt a closer look.
- Water-logged, sinking, or lush green portions of your lawn, especially areas near your sewer line, may indicate a leak.
Our knowledgeable plumbers at First Rate Plumbing Heating and Cooling Inc consider these indicators when diagnosing your sewer line problem. We also use sewer line inspection technology to help assess the issue.
Sewer Camera Inspection
We snake a small, high-definition camera through your sewer line to see what is causing your sewer problem and identify where the clog, crack, or damage has occurred. Corrosion and tree roots are a few reasons your sewer line can weaken and collapse.
Sewer Repair Options
We can diagnose the problem accurately and provide the best solution after looking at the inside of your sewer line. We offer traditional and trenchless methods for repair and replacement.
Traditional Method
We excavate in your front yard to access the damaged sewer line. This method may involve digging in your driveway or uprooting some landscaping to uncover it.
We know how stressful and inconvenient sewer problems can be. Our qualified pros complete repairs efficiently and safely. We make every effort to finish the job as quickly as possible while minimizing disturbances.
Trenchless Method
This repair process is less invasive than the traditional method. We dig two holes at each end of the damaged sewer line rather than excavate your property. Repair options include pipe lining or pipe bursting techniques.
Pipe lining involves placing a lining and resin coating inside the damaged sewer line. The materials adhere to the inside of the pipe and harden within a few hours.
The pipe bursting method uses a tool that destroys the damaged sewer line as it simultaneously places a new pipe.

The communication about my service appointment was prompt. My technician, Raymond, was professional, polite and patient as he explained every step of the work that was happening and what I may need to focus on for future visits. He showed pictures of his work and was helpful with any questions that I had. Based on his work and my overall experience, I signed up to be a member and get bi-annual maintenance done.

I had a mystery water leak in my yard, could have been anything, but turned out to be in an irrigation line. Saul could have told me it was anything, could have made something up, but instead he was HONEST, diagnosed the issue quickly and told me what to do next. So happy. The communication was great, they even sent me a picture of Saul so I would know who to expect, amazing!

Ray did a great job on the winter service for my two heat pumps. I have used First Rate since 2022 for maintenance and installation. The company is solid and honest, and Ray is a great example of their excellent customer service. He is very knowledgable, worked efficiently, and was really good with my dog too.

Patrick installed my kitchen faucet and gave me an estimate for replacing the water heater. He provided me with a lot of information about the water heater and the HVAC, which I very much appreciated. I have a clearer picture going forward for what I need to accomplish.
