What Causes Sewer Line Problems?

Like any other plumbing system, your sewer line is prone to wear and tear. Over time, your sewer line will accumulate debris, like grease, hair, and soap, along its walls. If not properly cleaned, the debris will continue to accumulate and eventually cause a clog. As a result, your drains will begin to empty slowly. If left unaddressed, the pressure will increase and cause your pipes to burst.

Another common cause of sewer line problems is tree root intrusion. Tree roots are naturally attracted to your sewer line because it is a great source of water, oxygen, and nutrients. If your sewer line has a small crack, the tree roots will grow into your sewer line and cause it to clog. The tree roots will continue to grow and increase the pressure in your sewer line, which can cause it to burst.

How to Prevent Sewer Line Problems

One of the best ways to prevent sewer line problems is to be mindful of what you flush down your toilet or drain. You should avoid flushing anything that is not toilet paper and human waste. Also, you should avoid pouring grease, oil, and coffee grounds down your drain. These substances can solidify and cause a clog. You should also avoid using chemical drain cleaners. These products can cause your pipes to corrode and burst. Instead, you should use a plunger or plumbing snake to remove the clog.

Another way to prevent sewer line problems is to schedule an annual sewer line inspection. During the inspection, one of our technicians will carefully examine your sewer line to ensure it is working properly. If we discover a problem, we will provide you with a detailed diagnostic report and go over your options for repair or replacement.

Signs of a Sewer Line Problem

Knowing when to call for professional sewer services is important for preventing further damage to your sewer system. There are several signs of a sewer line problem that you should be aware of:

• Sewage backups - If your drains are emptying slowly or making a gurgling sound, it may be because your sewer line is clogged. You should avoid using your plumbing system until the clog has been removed. Otherwise, the sewage will back up into your home and cause a mess.
• Multiple clogged drains - If multiple drains in your home are clogged, it is likely because your sewer line is clogged. You should avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can cause your pipes to corrode and burst. Instead, you should call a professional plumber to clean your sewer line.
• Unpleasant odors - If there is a foul smell coming from your drains, it is likely because your sewer line is damaged or not working properly. You should call a professional plumber to inspect your sewer line and determine the source of the problem.
• Extra green patches of grass - If there are extra green patches of grass in your yard, it may be because your sewer line is leaking. You should call a professional plumber to inspect your sewer line and determine the source of the leak.
