Camera Inspection, Hydro Jetting & Sewer Line Cleaning for Annapolis Homeowners
If you’re seeing slow drains at multiple fixtures, hearing gurgling from the toilet when you run the sink, or finding sewage backing up into the tub, the problem isn’t at the fixture. It’s in the main sewer line. David E. White’s Plumbing, Heating, & Repair Company has been clearing main sewer lines for Annapolis homeowners for more than 30 years, using camera inspection to find the root cause before recommending a fix.
Signs Your Main Sewer Line Needs Service
Most main sewer line problems in Annapolis trace back to aging pipe materials. In older neighborhoods like Eastport, Murray Hill, Wardour, and the Historic District, clay tile and cast iron systems are still in service, leaving those homes even more susceptible to sewer issues.
No matter the age of your plumbing system, these are the signs to be on the lookout for:
- Multiple fixtures are draining slowly
- Gurgling from your toilet when the sink or shower is running
- Sewage backing up into your tub, floor drains, or lowest fixtures
- Sewage odors inside your home without an obvious source
- Unusually green or lush grass over your sewer line in the yard
- Soft or wet ground over the sewer line outside
Why Camera Inspection Matters for Annapolis Sewer Lines
Sewer line problems aren’t always visible from the surface, and the cause isn’t always obvious from the symptoms. We run a camera inspection before recommending anything, so your options are based on what’s actually in the pipe, not a guess.
It’s valuable in older neighborhoods like the Historic District, Eastport, and Murray Hill, where clay tile and cast iron laterals have been in the ground for decades. It’s just as useful in newer communities like Crofton, Odenton, and Severna Park, where root intrusion or ground settlement can affect newer PVC lines.
If you’re already dealing with a backup, our emergency plumbing team responds quickly.
Hydro Jetting for Annapolis Sewer Lines
Hydro jetting uses water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI to clear obstructions and scour your pipe walls clean. It works effectively on clay tile, cast iron, and PVC lines throughout Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.
We always camera inspect before jetting. High-pressure water on a pipe with existing cracks or joint separation can make things worse, not better.
If you’re also dealing with drain cleaning needs at the fixture level, we can address both in the same visit.
Sewer Line Repair in Annapolis, MD
If your camera inspection reveals offset joints, collapsed sections, or root intrusion that’s compromised the pipe wall, cleaning won’t solve it. It can happen in any home, from older clay tile systems in Eastport and Murray Hill to newer PVC lines in Crofton, Odenton, and Severna Park.
We’ll tell you exactly what we found, what your options are, and what each one costs before any work begins. If you’re also dealing with water leak issues, we can assess both systems in the same visit.

BG&E replaced battery in my gas meter and then found a leak in pipe going into house. I spoke with David White about the problem. He was able to fit me in the next day, got the parts and had me up and running with heat within a couple hours. Very professional, on time, and not a bad price, considering. Would definitely use them again.Posted on Maureen GeogheganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had surgery and the last thing I needed was a clogged toilet.
