common causes of home sewer backups It’s not fun to think about but sewage backups can happen to anyone in any home. When we get calls from homeowners who need help diagnosing and repairing their sewer problem, the cause is usually one of these three things.

A Clog Just like your drain pipes, your main sewer line can become clogged, which can cause sewage backups in your home. If it is just one toilet, sink or tub that seems to be giving you a problem, it may just be a clog in that drain. If, however, every flush creates a sewage backup in your home, you likely have a blockage in your main sewer line. Most sewer clogs can be prevented with regular maintenance and proper use of your drains.

Here are a few tips that

will help keep your

sewer line clear: • Don’t use your toilet

as a waste basket... Flushing facial tissues, napkins, diapers and other waste down your toilet creates clogs.

• Use your garbage disposal intelligently... Avoid dumping large quantities of anything down your garbage disposal that can become lodged within your sewer line.

• Don’t pour grease down your drain... Grease and fat, although liquid when poured down your drain, can harden within your plumbing, collecting debris and creating a stubborn clog.

Tree Roots Another common cause of home sewer backups is tree roots. Even if the area directly above your sewer line is free of trees, roots from a neighboring yard could be the cause of your sewer problem. Tree roots can cause a couple of problems for your sewer lines - they can grow into the pipes and cause holes and blockages or they may wrap around your sewer line and crush it.

Broken or

Collapsed Sewer Lines If your home is older, your sewer backup could be caused by broken, cracked or collapsed lines. Although plastic sewer lines have now become the norm, older homes were built using cast iron and clay piping that can break down over time and create sewer problems.

Don’t Make the

Same Costly Mistake

Most Homeowners Make Don’t reach for what you think might be a cheap and easy fix, such as Draino(r) or Liquid-Plumbr(r) to treat a clogged drain. These harsh chemicals can damage your plumbing pipes and sewer and result in making a simple fix a more costly repair. Licensed Professional Plumbers also offer simple, lowpriced treatment options which use enzymes instead of harsh chemicals that can often solve and prevent future problems.
