Typical Causes of Sewer Backup
Obstructions in the city’s sanitary sewer main can cause your sewer to back up. Tree roots can also create problems if they grow into your lines. There are several easy steps you can take to avoid a backup:
- Dispose of waste correctly.
- Don’t dispense grease down your drain.
- Don’t flush paper towels, wet wipes, or feminine products.
- Have McElroy Service Experts Total Home Comfort install a backwater prevention valve to stop sewer backflows.
- Have us check older plumbing connections to make sure they’re up to code. Bad connections in French drains, sump pumps, or flood control systems can clog the lines with debris and silt.
- Replace your line and tap with plastic pipe to stop tree roots from damaging your lines.
