Is My Sewer Line Clogged?
A backed-up pipe can wreak havoc on your home, leading to flooding, broken pipes and even structural damage. The tricky part, of course, is that your sewer pipes are a complex system that runs throughout your home. So how can you tell if your sewer line is clogged?
You may want to consider scheduling a sewer line cleanout if you notice the following:
- A foul sewage odor
- Backed-up drains
- Damp landscaping
- Your toilet bowl bubbles when your sink is running
These are all signs that your sewer is in need of a cleanout. Blockages can cause the air in your pipes to travel back up the system and release foul odors or bubbles into your space. If your drains are backing up or you smell a sewage odor in your home, schedule your clean-out with our team.
Why Does My Sewer Line Need A Clean Out?
There are a few reasons your sewer could need to be cleaned out. The most common reason is a clog or blockage caused by a buildup of debris. Flushing items down the toilet that aren’t supposed to be flushed, like paper towels, wipes or feminine products, can lead to buildups.
The age of your pipes could also be a factor in these buildups. Hard water deposits can contribute to buildup and corrosion can worsen the problem
Another reason your pipes need to be cleaned out could actually be your landscaping. Trees Ñ or rather their roots Ñ are often the culprits behind broken sewer lines. They like to squeeze into tiny cracks or joints in the plumbing, where they grow and create problematic blockages.
While it may be tempting to purchase a chemical drain cleaner off the store shelf and clear the blockage yourself, these products aren’t recommended. Oftentimes, the chemicals pose a hazard to your pipe materials and can weaken the glue connecting your pipes. Also, if tree roots are the cause of your problem, these chemical cleaners can’t eliminate those.
Here at Gotelli, our plumbers use the latest methods and technology to clean your sewer lines.
