Sewer lines have an important role to play in the overall health of our plumbing. Your sewer line moves soap, grease, detergent, and waste through your system out of your home.
When your drains start to work slow or stop draining altogether, you may have an issue deep within your sewer line.
If DIY clog solutions don’t work, you may need to call in a professional to get your sewer line fully functioning once again.
What Causes Sewer Line Issues? Foreign objects or debris can cause sewer line issues. Our sewer lines are tough, but they aren’t meant to handle everything. Kitchen elements such as massive food waste, grease, or oils can cause the pipes to become blocked. You can usually spot this issue through a rotten smell coming up from your kitchen sink. When it comes to your sewer line connection with your toilet, the system is meant to handle toilet paper. Other items such as feminine products, wipes, or paper towels should never go down the drain. The shower can also contribute to a build-up of hair that can block your system. Trees and plants in our yards can impact the quality of our sewer lines as well. Roots naturally follow sources of water as they grow, often causing them to grow near and around sewer lines.
