Your sewer line is one of the essential parts of your home’s plumbing. It is the pipe that removes the collected wastewater from your home and carries it to the sewer main in the center of the street. Most people don’t think much about their sewer line on a daily basis because it does its job unobtrusively and hidden from sight. Unfortunately, a time may come when you will need sewer cleaning services to keep it working effectively. Sewer pipes can become clogged and congested, often with excessive levels of fat and grease. When this happens, you will need a professional sewer cleaning. Here are some signs that you may need to make a call:
Indications it’s Time for Sewer Cleaning
Slow drains around the house: A single slow drain usually means a drainpipe that has a clog of hair, soap scum, or food waste. Often, you can fix these troubles using a sink plunger. But if the slow drains are occurring throughout your home, it’s a warning that the sewer line itself has backed up because of obstructions. Call for sewer cleaning experts to take care of clearing out the line.- Bad drain odors: A foul sewer smell from a drain can be as simple a problem as a dried out p-trap. You only need to pour water down the drain to restore the water barrier that prevents these odors from escaping up the sewer line and into your home. But if these smells persist, and you detect a gurgling sound from the drains, then it means the sewer line is backing up and needs to be cleaned out.
- Water backing up into the tub or shower after the toilet flushes: There are a number of odd behaviors from your plumbing fixtures that will indicate the sewer line is becoming blocked. If water flushed down the toilet can’t make it through the sewer line, the water will re-emerge at the lowest point, such as a tub or shower. Call for sewer cleaning service right away when this happens.
