Sewer Lines – Problems and Maintenance Tips

Causes for sewer lines problems?

There can be several factors pending in the surrounding area of the home.

  • The age of the initial installation
  • Surrounding vegetation (*trees and deep-rooted plants)

*Tree roots are always in search of water that can penetrate even the smallest cracks and seams of an otherwise intact sewer line. Once a tree root finds an opening, it will continue to grow, causing the hole to expand. Roots have been known to eventually fill the pipe to the point that the flow of water is restricted or prevented. The pipe may even break apart and crumble.

Signs your Sewer Line Needs Attention – Sewer Cleaning!

You can spot a clogged drain line when you see water backing up as you empty a sink or take a shower. For a toilet clog, the signs are often more immediate. Instead of flushing normally, the water backs up in the toilet bowl and may even overflow. Clearing the blockage typically restores your drains or toilet back to normal with a little DIY work or a visit from a plumber.

  • Repeated backups and or slow draining of wastewater. The hesitation of attention can lead to steps beginning with sewer cleaning and then repair, relining, or replacement.
  • Bubbling sounds from plumbing fixtures and drains (garage, laundry, sink drains, and toilets)
  • Foul odors.
  • Lush patches of grass over known sewer line paths
  • Lawn indentations or possible collapse
  • Foundation cracking.
  • Pools of septic waste – complete septic system

How you can prevent problems and expenses?

Regular proactive management with great customer service can prevent major sewer lines issues later. Seriously!

  • Know where your sewer lines are located. It’s difficult to guard something when you don’t know where it is.
  • Remove all trees and other deep-rooted plants from the line’s vicinity or house. If you don’t do this before a major problem you will certainly do it afterward and pay for a sewer cleaning company for the repair.
  • Keep heavy equipment from driving directly over sewer lines. Let the equipment operator know where your lines are located near the kitchen sink, crawl space, or wherever the main line is.
  • Flushing the sewer line on a semi-regular interval. Flushing can be as simple as filling and draining a large sink or bathtub.
  • NEVER pour grease down a drain. Only “toilet” paper. Facial tissue: no; paper towels: no; small deceased pets: burial by the toilet is not burial at sea; Personal grooming materials: these are not engineered to break down in a sewer system, thus convenience can be seriously expensive. Even “just a little” every “now and then” can lead to “really big” costs. If this happens you may want to consider sewer drain cleaning.

Regular attention and maintenance performed by a professional plumber can alleviate upcoming problems. Regular maintenance is a fraction of the cost of drastic corrections. Believe me, if you don’t manage proactively, you may eventually have to pay for a correction then begin being proactive.
