What are the warning signs of a sewer system backup?

Common warning signs include multiple slow or clogged drains, sewage backing up into sinks, bathtubs, or toilets, foul odors, gurgling plumbing fixtures, standing water near floor drains, and wastewater appearing in lower-level plumbing fixtures. If you notice several of these symptoms, schedule service as soon as possible to help prevent additional damage.

What causes residential sewer backups?

Residential sewer backups are commonly caused by tree root intrusion, grease buildup, pipe corrosion, flushing non-flushable items, damaged sewer lines, or blockages in the main sewer line. Our plumbers perform a detailed inspection to determine the exact cause before recommending repairs.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line?

Yes. Tree roots naturally seek moisture and often enter sewer pipes through small cracks or loose joints. As the roots continue growing, they can restrict wastewater flow and eventually crack or collapse the pipe. We offer HydroScrub® Jetting, root removal, sewer repairs, and replacement services to resolve root intrusion problems.

Is HydroScrub® Jetting effective for sewer backups?

Absolutely. HydroScrub® Jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease, sludge, debris, and tree roots from the inside of sewer pipes. Unlike basic drain snaking, it thoroughly cleans pipe walls, helping restore proper flow and reduce recurring blockages.

How can I help prevent future sewer backups?

Routine drain cleaning, sewer camera inspections, HydroScrub® Jetting, and preventative plumbing maintenance can significantly reduce the likelihood of future sewer backups. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, and other materials that can clog your sewer line, and schedule periodic inspections to identify problems early.

Do you repair damaged sewer lines after clearing the blockage?

Yes. After clearing the blockage, we inspect your sewer line to determine whether additional repairs are needed. If we find cracked, collapsed, or deteriorated sewer piping, we'll explain your options and provide professional sewer line repair or replacement designed to restore reliable performance and help prevent future plumbing issues.
