Signs You Need Your Sewer Drain Cleaned<\/b><\/h3>

The sooner you catch these problems, the better. Knowing what to look for is key to getting a handle on it. The following are the most common signs that you could need sewer drain repair.<\/p>

  • Inconsistent Toilet Water Levels<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

    If you\u2019ve noticed the water levels in your toilet fluctuate day-by-day, it\u2019s a sign of an issue with your sewer system.\u00a0<\/p>

    • Animal Presence<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

      If there are suddenly more rodents or other critters hanging out in your yard, you could have a break in your sewer line.\u00a0<\/p>

      • Foul Smells<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

        If you can smell raw sewage inside or outside your home, you need to have a plumber come out immediately.<\/p>

        • Pooling Water<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

          If you have swampy or pooling water in your yard or have noticed random spots of lushness, there may be a leak in the sewer line.<\/p>

          • Slow Drainage<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

            If you have multiple drains that are quite slow, there could be a deeper issue in the system.<\/p>

            Causes of Clogs<\/b><\/h3>

            When pipes and drains become clogged, water has to go somewhere else. This comes in the form of flooding, backups, excessively slow draining and decreased water pressure. Having an understanding of what causes clogging can help you prevent them. These are some of the common causes we see:<\/p>

            • Food<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

              Use a garbage disposal if you put food waste into your drain. Otherwise, place it in the trash to avoid clogging.\u00a0<\/p>

              • Flushable Wipes<\/b><\/li><\/ul>

                We know, they\u2019re labeled \u201cflushable\u201d. Don\u2019t fall for it! Nearly all brands can easily cause clogs and damage to wastewater systems. If you choose to use these wipes, dispose of them in the trash instead.\u00a0<\/p>

                • Grease, Fats and Oils<\/b><\/li><\/ul>

                  Most kitchen sink clogs we see are caused by the disposal of oil, grease and cooking fat directly down the drain. They harden as they get cooled and cause serious clogs in the drain. Just dispose of them in the trash or compost instead.\u00a0<\/p>

                  • Tree Roots<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

                    This one is hard to avoid if you don\u2019t know it\u2019s there. These are the number one cause of clogs in sewer and water mains, so it\u2019s definitely a concern. The roots will grow into the pipes and cause serious clogs if left unchecked.\u00a0<\/p>

                    • Hair<\/b>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

                      This is the main clog culprit in bathrooms. Use a mesh screen over your drains to trap the hair before it gets down the drain.\u00a0<\/p>
