What Causes Sewer Line Clogs?
Sewer line clogs are one of the most common problems that plumbers are called to fix. There are several reasons your sewer line may become clogged, but some are more common than others. Here are the top three reasons for sewer line clogs.
Fat & Grease
When you pour fats, oils, and grease down your drain, they solidify in your sewer line and cause a blockage. Even if you have a garbage disposal, these substances should not be put down your drain. To avoid this problem, dispose of fats, oils, and grease in the trash.
Tree Roots
If you have trees on your property, there’s a chance you’ll experience tree root invasion into your sewer line. Tree roots are attracted to water sources, so if there’s a tiny hole or crack in the sewer line, it’s only a matter of time before they find their way in and wreak havoc. If you think tree roots may be causing your sewer line to clog, a plumber can use a camera to inspect your sewer line and determine the best action.
Flushable Wipes
Flushable wipes are the bane of many plumbers because most people assume that because something is labeled “flushable,” it means it will safely go down the drain and won’t cause any problems. However, this is not the case with flushable wipes. These wipes can cause severe clogs in your sewer line because they do not break down like toilet paper. To avoid this problem, do not flush anything other than toilet paper down your toilet.
If you have slow drains, noisy drains, or standing water on your property, call the plumbing experts at The Darville Company for a drain line inspection.
Detect Sewer Line Issues Early
Regular sewer camera inspections allow you to identify potential problems in your sewer line before they become major issues. By catching problems early, you can address them promptly and prevent costly repairs down the line. This proactive approach can save you time, money, and the hassle of dealing with a sewer backup or other plumbing emergencies.
Sewer camera inspections provide a comprehensive look at the condition of your sewer line, allowing plumbers to pinpoint the exact location and nature of any problems. This detailed information helps them develop an effective solution to address the issue efficiently.
Protect Your Property
Sewer line problems can cause significant damage to your property if left unaddressed. A sewer backup can lead to flooding, water damage, and even mold growth, which can be both costly and disruptive to your home or business. By scheduling a sewer camera inspection, you can identify and resolve issues before they escalate, safeguarding your property and preventing expensive repairs.
Sewer camera inspections are a non-invasive way to inspect your plumbing system without the need for extensive digging or excavation. This helps preserve the integrity of your landscaping and minimizes disruption to your property, making it a more convenient and cost-effective solution.
