Residential Sewer System Backup Warning Signs

One of the best ways to prevent extensive damage from your sewer system backing up is by addressing the issue as soon as possible. We understand homeowners might not know what signs to watch out for, so we've included a list of things you should watch out for before the problem becomes inconvenient and expensive. You should contact the licensed plumbers at Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Olympia if you experience any of the following in your home:

  • Pools of water forming around your basement floor drain
  • Multiple drains are backing up
  • Water backing up in toilets, showers, or sink drains
  • Strong, foul odors from your home’s drains or outside areas
  • Drain backup combinations that involve a toilet
  • Gurgling sounds emanating from drains or toilets

Sewer Line Tree Root Intrusion Solutions

One of the biggest threats to the sewer lines in your home’s plumbing system is tree roots underground in your yard. If your pipes have tiny holes, cracks, or separations, tree roots can infiltrate them searching for nourishment. Eventually, they can completely take over the insides of your pipes, clogging and bursting them. Our team of plumbing professionals can solve any sewer line problems related to tree roots. Some common warning signs that you have tree roots in your pipes include backups in your bathtubs or toilets, gurgling noises from toilets, bathtubs not draining correctly, or a lack of water in your toilet bowls. Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Olympia offers the following solutions for tree root infiltration in your sewer line:

  • Hydro Jetting – This process involves sending a high-powered blast of water through your pipes to clear them of any dirt, debris, tree roots, and grease build-up.
  • Pipelining – Our team provides a permanent solution for water leakage by lining and sealing sewer pipes using a sleeve. This highly effective solution avoids trenching, with no need to demolish walls or other structures on your property.
  • Maintenance – Performing preventative maintenance and taking care of your pipes is a great way to save money and hassle over time. We offer regular plumbing system inspections and drain cleaning services to help you prevent grease build-up and other debris in your pipes. Performing routine sewer line maintenance can also help prevent tree roots from wreaking havoc on your pipes.
  • Rooter Work & Drain Cleaning – Our expert plumbers punch through tree roots to clear out your sewer line and restore its functionality. Then we'll inspect the extent of the problem and recommend permanent, cost-effective solutions.
  • Pipe Bursting – This process involves using hydraulics to break apart your current piping underground, whether your home has PVC, clay, or cast iron sewer pipes. A new seamless pipe is installed in its place.

Warning Signs of Septic System Backup

Septic system backups are nothing to take lightly. Having a licensed plumber address the problem quickly is the best way to avoid costly property contamination and damage. Our plumbers can effectively resolve your septic system issues before you suffer from system-wide problems. The following septic system backup warning signs can help you catch a problem in its early stages:

  • Black liquid that smells bad in your home’s toilets or drains
  • Toilets flushing and draining slowly
  • Foul odors around the home due to septic systems failing or having incorrect ventilation
  • Multiple drains running slowly
  • Algae or weeds growing in a pond near your home (can be caused by septic waste discharge)
  • Wastewater that seeps from the ground near your home’s septic system that sometimes has an odor
  • Noticeably green grass over your septic system, even during our hot and dry summers
  • Bacteria in a well caused by septic system liquid contaminating drinking water through the ground
