Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair or Replacement

Your sewer line is one of the hardest working systems in your home and business, but it often flies under the radar. Many people don't think twice about their sewer systems until something goes catastrophically wrong with it. Before your sewer issue gets to that point, familiarize yourself with the information below so that you know when to call a plumber.

Here are common signs your sewage line is broken:

• Slow draining bathtub or failure to drain
• Your toilet emits strange noises or bubbles
• Stale water pooling in your yard
• Foul sewage smells around your property
• Multiple backed up drains around your home
• Lack of water in your toilet

A number of things can cause your sewage line to break, including old pipe materials, poor sewer line layout and installation, clogged pipes, and more. Our skilled plumbers in San Diego understand the intricacies of sewer lines in both residential and commercial plumbing systems and work methodically to address all of our customers' concerns. In fact, we have an engineer on staff who has extensive experience with sewer system design and proper wastewater pipe layouts.

What Causes Main Sewer Lines to Clog?

Main sewer lines can become clogged due to a variety of causes. The most common cause is tree roots intruding into the pipe, as roots are naturally drawn towards moisture and nutrients found in a sewer line. Tree roots do not typically travel far through a pipe, but when they do, the roots can quickly cause blockages.

Other common culprits include:

• Flushing trash down the toilet
• Flushing too much toilet paper
• Pouring cooking oil and grease down the sink
• Putting too much of the wrong food waste items into your garbage disposal
• Failing to maintain your drain and sewer lines

How to Unclog Main Sewer Line

Unclogging a main sewer line can be tough and messy. It often needs special tools and knowledge. If you're not sure about doing it, it's best to hire a professional plumber. But if you want to try it on your own, here are the steps:

• Safety Precautions: Wear protective gear.
• Identify the Problem: Confirm it's the main sewer line.
• Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and shut the main valve.
• Clear Drain Pipes: Try plunging or snaking smaller drains.
• Locate Cleanout Access: Find the sewer cleanout.
• Use a Drain Snake: Insert and rotate to break up the clog.
• Flush with Water: Rinse debris down the line.
• Test Drains: Check for improved drainage.
• Clean Up: Disinfect equipment and surfaces.
• Prevent Future Clogs: Use drain screens and avoid flushing non-flushable items.
