What causes sewer line problems?
There are several reasons sewer lines develop problems. The most common is rust developing inside the pipe due to the constant contact with water. Both the inside and outside of the pipe are affected by this water. Both tree roots and grease deposits can damage sewer lines inside the pipe. As the roots grow inside the sewer and grease builds up, they cause blockages which can lead to future flooding of the sewer.
Signs Sewer Line Needs Repaired
A big sign that your sewer line has a problem is when your basement starts to smell entirely of sewage. Another sign is when you flush your toilet and the water makes a bubbling sound. We highly recommend you get the sewer unclogged before the water in the toilet comes out in the bathroom when flushing, instead of going through the sewer under ground. If you think your basement smells bad, wait until the sewage comes upstairs and into your bathroom or kitchen! The sooner you approach the problem, the less damage to your property. Standing water and regurgitated water are also signs of a sewer problem. Please feel free to call Bill Helmken Plumbing LLC for professional help with your sewer.
Ways to Prevent Sewer Line Problems
We highly recommend -No trees to be planted near the sewer lines on your property.
Regular Maintenance of your sewer lines can be done by performing a video inspection. These sewer cameras are usen in sewer inspections and repairs for sewers. These cameras save time, and are able to pinpoint a more accurate location as to wher the problem is in the sewer under ground.
