Sewer Drain Cleaning FAQs
How do sewer drains get clogged?
Sewer drains are built to be sturdy and reliable. However, there are a number of problems that could cause a backup or malfunction. Some of the most common reasons why sewer drains get clogged include:
- Tree root intrusion: As trees and shrubs grow, their roots can infiltrate your sewer line and cause serious blockages or damage.
- Grease buildup: Fats, oils, and grease that are poured down your drains can solidify and form stubborn clogs that are difficult to get rid of.
- Flushed objects: Non-flushable items like paper towels, sanitary products, and wipes can back up your sewer line or damage your septic system.
- Aging pipes: Over time, sewer pipes can corrode, collapse, or become misaligned, leading to major problems like leaking or cracked pipes.
What does sewer drain cleaning include?
Professional sewer drain cleaning involves specialized equipment and techniques that quickly clear debris or blockages without damaging your pipes. Whether you’re getting a routine cleaning or you’re treating an active clog, our experts may use:
- Video camera inspections: By feeding a specialized camera through your drainage system, we can identify any current or potential issues with your sewer line.
- Sewer augers: Similar to a drain snake, a high-powered sewer auger can break apart and remove clogs in your plumbing system while preserving your pipes.
- Hydro-jetting: Pressurized water is one of the fastest and most effective ways to completely clean your sewer line without risking any damage.
How often should I have my sewer line cleaned?
Regular drain cleaning can prevent clogs from forming in the first place. Though each household is different, most benefit from a sewer line cleaning at least once per year. If you aren’t sure how frequently you should get a cleaning service, a professional can help you determine the best routine for your plumbing system.
Can I clear a blocked sewer drain myself?
Some household clogs are easy to take care of on your own, but sewer line backups are a little more complicated. DIY methods are often not effective and could even cause additional damage to your underground pipes. Professional sewer drain cleaning offers several advantages, including:
- Fast and effective results: A professional plumber has the expertise and equipment to clear even the toughest sewer drain clogs quickly and efficiently.
- Preventative maintenance: Regular sewer drain cleaning can help prevent clogs from forming in the first place, saving you money and headaches in the long run.
- Safety: Chemical drain cleaners can be harmful to your pipes, which could cause a sewage-related disaster down the road. Professionals use the best products and techniques on the market to keep your system in great shape.
What should I do if sewage comes out of my drains?
Raw sewage can be a serious health hazard, which is why you should call a professional immediately if you are dealing with a sewer line emergency. At Speedy Septic, we are proud to offer 24/7 emergency availability with fast response times to ensure your property is always taken care of, day or night.
