Is water backing up into your sink, bathtub, or shower drain?  Even worse, do you have sewage backup in your basement? Can you hear a gurgling sound coming from your pluumbing pipes or inside your toilet?  You might have a problem that requires a clogged sewer line repair. This is the drain that is buried in your yard and connects your home to the main city sewer line running adjacent to the road.

 

What backs up a sewer main clog

Some of the most common causes of a clogged sewer line 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 passes into your sewer line and builds up over time to cause a clog.

 

What initiates a sewer main clog

What if it is more than a clog? Tree roots can grow around a pipe and 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 wall of mesh-like roots that can hold some or all effluents back. This is why you may have a period where there is not a problem. Then under heavy use a backup happens.

See the clog. Clear the clog. Assess any damage.
