FAQs: Drain & Sewer Plumbing Services
Some of the frequently asked questions we receive include:
Can I unclog a drain myself?
Our plumbing pros can perform sewer drain jet cleaning using a camera and hydro jet for difficult drain clogs. We are also licensed to remove severe clogs by excavation, if necessary.
If you have one clogged drain, it’s worth a try to DIY. If you do:
- Don’t use a drain snake or any wires that can damage your sink, shower, or toilet: Your local plumber has a drain snake that’s more effective and safer.
- Never use chemical drain cleaners: They seldom work and often worsen the problem.
- Use plungers; they’re called “plumbers’ helpers” for a good reason: They seal the drain and the push-release vacuum can dislodge the clog.
- Pour boiling water down the drain: It may “shift” the clog.
- Use natural cleaners: Pour hot water down the drain, then add 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of vinegar. Wait about 10 minutes, then add more hot water.
If these steps don’t work or you have more than one clogged drain, call us today to schedule service.
How do I know if my sewer line needs to be repaired or replaced?
As soon as you suspect you have a sewer line problem, you should schedule a plumbing inspection. We can use our sewer cameras to find the problem and come up with a solution. However, if you’ve had more than one sewer line problem and have already made several repairs, it’s time to consider a replacement.
Sewer line problems include:
- Bad smells inside or around your house
- Gurgling and/or backed-up toilets
- Increase in flies
- Signs of rats or mice
- Mold on walls
- Outside puddles/soft spots on your lawn
- Slow or no drainage
- Lawn becomes greener/lush for no reason
Sewer lines have a lifespan. If your house was built in or before the 1970s, it might be time to replace your sewer line.
I never flush anything I’m not supposed to, but I have a sewer clog. Did I do something wrong?
External sewer line clogs can occur for many reasons:
- Age: Over time, the soil will shift and settle. Sewer lines begin to sag as they age.
- Roots: Tree roots naturally seek sources of water, so your sewer line is a prime target. Tree roots can crack and infiltrate external plumbing pipes and cause blockages.
- Utility workers: You should “call before you dig,” but even professionals can accidentally cause sewer line damage if they don’t know the location of the lines.
What’s the difference between a drain clog and a main sewer line clog?
A drain carries wastewater to the sewer line. Your sewer line is a network of underground pipes that carry wastewater to a disposal site or treatment plant. A drain clog usually affects one area (kitchen sink, bathtub, etc.). Clogs in the sewer line may show problems in several fixtures in your home.
