Sewer lines can get stopped up for several reasons. Commonly, we see tree roots growing into the lines. In these scenarios, we can quickly and easily unclog the line. The weather could also play a role in sewer stoppage. For example, the transition from a very rainy period to a very dry period could cause the ground to shift, breaking the pipes underneath.

Sometimes, sewer lines stop up due to improper installation. For example, certain homes have water lines with significant bends built in, like a roller coaster. When wastewater collects in the low spots, it can create a traffic jam. In cases where the pipes are broken, we will need to repair and possibly replace your lines. Whatever the case, sewer stoppage is common and completely fixable with the right equipment.

Use a bacterial cleaning product, such as BioOne, to clear your sewer lines of fats, oils, and greases. See manufacturer’s instructions for instructions and frequency.
