Tree roots grow towards sewer lines in search of hydration. They break through tiny cracks and crevices in the pipes and continue to grow. The roots can clog the interior of your pipes as they grow and continue to drink the water.

  • The main line and the sewer line for a home are not the same thing, although they are interconnected parts of a plumbing system. The main line is the primary pipe that connects a home's plumbing system to the municipal water supply, delivering clean water for your family to use. On the other hand, the sewer line, also known as the main sewer line, carries wastewater and other sewage materials away from your home and channels it to the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. While the main line provides fresh water for everyday activities like drinking, cooking, and bathing, the sewer line efficiently disposes of used water and waste. These two lines operate independently within a home's plumbing system, each serving distinct and essential roles in managing water flow and sanitation.

  • In a residential plumbing system, there are three primary types of sewer lines, each serving distinct purposes: sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and combined sewers. Sanitary sewers are dedicated pipelines that transport only domestic wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers from the residence to the municipal treatment facility. These lines are vital for ensuring sanitation and public health by keeping waste separate from the natural environment. Storm sewers, on the other hand, channel rainwater and runoff directly into local water bodies, effectively preventing flooding and water accumulation on streets during heavy rains. Combined sewers integrate the wastewater functions of sanitary sewers with the flood management of storm sewers, handling sewage and runoff in areas where space or resources are limited. However, they can pose challenges during heavy rainfall, leading to overflow situations.

  • A sewer line may repeatedly back up from several common issues. Blockages are a primary cause and often result from the buildup of debris, such as grease, hair, or non-flushable items like wipes and sanitary products. Tree root intrusion is another frequent problem. The roots from a tree penetrate the pipe joints or cracks, seeking moisture and ultimately obstructing wastewater flow. Additionally, pipe damage or collapse can impede the sewer line. This issue is often due to aging infrastructure, ground shifting, or corrosion. In some cases, a sewer line backup is caused by heavy rainfall overwhelming combined sewer systems, causing overflows. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to any drainage issues can mitigate these problems. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Northern Colorado will gladly ensure your home's sewer system operates efficiently to prevent inconvenient and costly backups.

  • When our professionals address a sewer line backup, they begin with a thorough inspection using specialized cameras to identify the exact cause and location of the blockage or damage. Once located, they may use a range of techniques depending on the issue. Common professional solutions include hydro jetting, which employs high-pressure water jets to clear clogs and debris. We can also use a plumbing auger or snake for more minor blockages. For pipe damage or breaks, trenchless repair methods such as pipe relining or pipe bursting minimize disturbance to the property while effectively replacing or repairing the damaged section. These professional approaches ensure a swift, effective resolution to sewer line backups.

  • A sewer line backup often manifests through a series of warning signs that homeowners should be aware of to prevent further damage. Recognizing these indicators early can save time and money. Addressing these signs promptly by consulting a plumbing professional can help prevent severe damage or costly repairs. Common signs include unusual sounds and odors. If you suspect a backup, keep an eye out for the following specific symptoms:

    • Gurgling noises coming from drains or toilets.
    • Foul odors emanating from drains or sinks, resembling sewage.
    • Slow drainage in sinks, tubs, or showers across the home.
    • Water backing up from drains when using other fixtures, like toilets or sinks.
    • Multiple fixtures clogged simultaneously, especially in the lowest level of the home.
