Drain and Sewer Line Cleaning Services

If there is a clog in your sewer line, you may need a professional plumber. Here are some signs that there may be a problem with your sewer line:

• Multiple drains are backed up: The toilet, bathtub, shower, and other bathroom fixtures back up all at once, possibly along with your kitchen sink. Water may also back up in the shower when the toilet flushes.
• Drains are slow: If water is draining slower than normal, there may be a blockage that will only get worse if not taken care of soon.
• Drains are smelly: If a foul sewage odor is coming from your drains, or water is backing up, a main sewer clog may be present.
• Sewage is standing in/draining out of the sewer cleanout: A main sewer blockage will do this; the pipe connects to the main line and allows plumbers direct access to the sewer line.
• Sewage collects in the floor drain: With nowhere to go, water from the pipe will enter the secondary drain and collect around floor drains in your home.

• Grease, oil, and fats, which can build up and clog up the line. Instead of washing hot grease down the drain with water, you should pour the grease into a container and discard it when it solidifies.
• Shampoo or soap residue that goes down the shower drain. Similar to grease and other substances, it can collect in pipes and block the sewer line. Hair buildup can act in the same way, causing the symptoms of a sewer line blockage.
• Flushing the wrong items down the toilet, including facial tissues, disinfectant wipes, Swiffers, paper towels, hair, tampons, plastic, or diapers. Instead of flushing these, throw them in a trash can so they don’t block your sewer pipes.

On the other hand, some causes for sewer cleaning are out of your control. A line can sag due to soil or ground conditions; this often happens over long periods of time, so the signs of trouble can appear gradually. Tree root infiltration is another cause. As tree and shrub roots grow in search for water sources, they expand into loose pipe sections and eventually cause blockages and pipe failures.
