How Do You Know Your Sewer Line is Clogged?

All of the plumbing fixtures, drains, and pipes in your home are connected to the biggest (and most important) piece of plumbing in your entire home—the main sewer line.

Between improper use of these fixtures, drains, and pipes and many other outside factors, the main sewer line can take a beating. Eventually, the main sewer line can become clogged (or even collapse) to the point of needing serious repair or even sewer replacement.

Knowing what causes sewer lines to clog and the warning signs to look out for can help prevent you from ever having to deal with a major sewer line repair or replacement.

Common Causes

Severe Pipe Damage - When sewer pipes are broken or ruptured, the sewage won’t be able to properly drain through the system—leading to immediate and frequent backups.

A Sagging Sewer - Sagging sewer lines happen over time. This “bellied” pipe occurs when a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions.

Tree Root Infiltration - As roots grow, they search for water. If they latch onto a sewer pipe, they can grow into the pipe in order to reach the water that it carries. As the roots expand , it will cause frequent clogs and will eventually cause the pipe to collapse.

Flushing Debris down the Toilet - Treating your toilet as a garbage can will cause sewer drain issues. The rule of thumb when flushing the toilet is to make sure you only flush human waste and toilet paper.

Pouring Grease Down the Drain - Grease, fats, and oil are a common culprit when it comes to clogged sewer lines. It’s not a good idea to pour these things down a drain. They will harden when cooled causing a clog in your sewer line.

Camera -Inspection

The best way to prevent a bad sewer line problem from occurring in the first place is to schedule routine sewer camera-inspections.

Parts of the sewer inspection special include:

Clean out the sewer line
Video camera inspection of main sewer line

A strong indicator that you need to use our sewer camera-inspection special is if you hear gurgling sounds throughout your home. The same is true if there are multiple fixtures that have backed up or clogged entirely, then it is likely you have a main sewer line blockage. If you have only a single fixture - like a toilet, sink, or bathtub backing up, then this could be a simple drain stoppage. In those cases we will come out, evaluate, then quote you a price to clear the drain. In most cases this will not require a video camera-inspection.

If you agree to additional repairs based on what we find in our inspection, they will be charged accordingly. No warranties are offered on stoppage clearing services as part of the inspection special. You must also have a clean-out or access point on your property to get this special pricing, or the price may increase. A sewer clean-out is a pipe with a cap that provides access to your sewer line, usually looking like a small, white and round cap in the ground.
