Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sacramento is your local source for reliable sewer system backup repair services in Sacramento, CA.

Tree roots in your property can cause blockages, as can other types of debris. Whatever problem your sewer or septic system is facing, our service professionals can provide a solution.

Signs You Might Have a Sewer System Backup

Like many plumbing problems, residential sewer system backups can be spotted by homeowners as they develop. The sooner you contact us to repair sewer system backups, the quicker we can get things back to normal for you. Warning signs of a blockage include:

• Multiple drains in the house back up
• A single backup in a toilet, shower, or sink
• Strong odors of sewage from drains or around the property
• Gurgling sounds coming out of drains
• Basement floor drains backing up

How Do Tree Roots Cause Sewer System Backups?

Underground tree roots are one of the most common contributors to sewer system problems for property owners. Why? Tree roots need water to grow, and they're attracted to moisture. When the septic pipes running in the ground form condensation or leak, roots will move in that direction and quickly enter through the tiniest cracks and crevices they can find in those pipes. As the roots take in water, they continue to grow, worsening problems and blockages until sewage backs up into sink drains and toilets in your home.

Signs and Problems of Septic System Backups

If your home has a septic system, a backup can cause more trouble than a clogged pipe. We advise homeowners to call for help as soon as they notice slow drainage in their homes. Reacting at this early stage can reduce the possibility of hazardous conditions on the property. Signs of a septic backup include:

• A toilet that flushes or drains slowly
• Multiple drains in the home clearing slowly
• Strong, odorous, dark liquid in toilets or drains
• Very green grass around the septic tank in the yard
• Strong sewage odors around the property

The best way to manage a sewer or septic issue is to avoid them altogether. Of course, we know that's not entirely possible, but good habits can reduce their likelihood, and a sewer backup prevention system cost will be less than any major repairs an issue might require. What can you do?
