Residential sewer lines tend to back up when the pipes have clogs or blockages. When there’s a blockage, the sewage system overloads, pushing waste back through the line and into the residence. These overflows typically occur in floor drains, toilets, bathtubs, or showers.
What Can I Do to Prevent a Sewer Backup?
The key to preventing sewer backups is regular preventative maintenance, which can include addressing drain problems as they occur, scheduling plumbing inspections, and watching out for any signs of a problem with your system. The team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI has years of experience providing homeowners with plumbing maintenance services to help you prevent problems in the first place.
How Long Does It Take to Clear a Sewer Line?
Most sewer backup repairs take a couple of hours to complete, but some severe backups can take up to a full day of service. Ask your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI for a time estimate for your sewer backup repair service.
