Sewer line problems can be a real headache for homeowners. A healthy and safe plumbing systems is dependent on a sewer line that is in good condition.  How do you know if you have a problem?  Is water and sewage backing up into your basement, sink, bathtub or shower?  Can you hear a gurgling sound coming from your plumbing pipes? Do you have a foul odor coming from the drains or toilet? Does water drain slowly from your sinks or tubs? If you experience any of these issues you most assuredly have a problem that requires a clogged sewer line repair.

 

What backs up a sewer main clog

Some of the most common causes for sewer line repair are toilet paper, hair, feminine products and anything that a child thinks looks amazing floating away. Everything that goes into your toilet, shower drain, bathroom and kitchen sinks, flows into your sewer main line and builds up over time to cause a clog.

 

What initiates a sewer main clog

What if it is more than a clog coming from elluents in the home? Tree roots can grow around a pipe. As they age, they become thicker cracking or breaking them structurally. Additionally, in very dry seasons, tree roots are desparate for hydration and will grow quickly, finding even the smallest way to enter your sewer main. The result is a thick wall of mesh-like roots that can hold some or all effluents from your home back. This is why you may have a period where there is not a problem. Then under heavy use a backup happens.
