Common Causes of Commercial Sewer Backups

There are various reasons your sewer could be backed up. That’s why we always conduct a diagnostic before we begin, pinpointing and fixing the problem, including common issues such as:

  • A buildup of fats, oils, and greases, often referred to as FOGs.
  • An excessive accumulation of non-biodegradable materials, such as paper, hair, and hygiene products.
  • Tree roots in the sewer lines.
  • Cracked, broken, or collapsed sewer lines.
  • Municipal overflow caused by heavy rain.
  • Deposits of minerals (common in older pipes).

Signs Your Business Has a Sewer System Backup

A sewer issue could present as multiple drain blockages, overflowing toilets, sewage spilling onto floors, slow drainage in various fixtures, strange gurgling sounds emitting from the drains, and foul odors. It can be a sudden and noticeable issue, or it can occur steadily over time.

It’s easy to ignore the issue and try to continue as normal, but eventually, those niggling issues could result in a major blockage, dragging your operations to a screeching halt.

Either way, our experienced technicians are on hand to help.

Our Commercial Sewer System Backup Solutions in Norfolk, VA

We have been providing various sewer backup solutions for companies across Norfolk, VA, for many years, including:

Emergency Sewer Backup Services

Mr. Rooter Plumbing® technicians are on-call 24/7, delivering rapid repairs with minimum interruption to your business.

Sewer Line Cleaning & Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting uses state-of-the-art technology to blast high pressured water jets directly at the blockage. It quickly clears most types of debris, including scale buildup, FOG blockages, and even tree roots.

Video Camera Sewer Inspections

Before we fix the problem, we need to know what’s causing it. We use the latest camera technology to snake a line down the pipe and pinpoint the issue, whether it’s a blockage, crack, scale buildup, or corrosion.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

A sewer line repair doesn’t have to cause massive business disruption. Most of the time, we don’t need to dig trenches and uproot your lines. We can use trenchless repair solutions such as cure-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining to repair existing pipes using a hardening resin. It’s a durable, long-term solution that could save you a lot of money and hassle.
