Sewer line blockages can result in raw sewage backing up and finding its way into your shower, tub, and the drains of your sink. Sewer line backups often result in costly repairs. The cost of having to replace floors, vanities as well as support joists due to an unrepaired sewer main could surpass the expense of plumbing repair very quickly, making prompt detection and repair key to reducing costs.

There are a variety of reasons a sewer line can become blocked. Excessive paper usage, oil and grease from kitchen waste hair, and soapy residue from sinks and showers can all result in troubling sewer line obstructions.

Unclogging the main sewer line can be completed by homeowners who are prepared to mess up. The first step is to turn off the main water supply to the house off. You should look for a shorter, round PVC pipe with a rubber or plastic screw-on cap at the end. The removal of the cap will relieve built up pressure and allow water to drain out of (rather than return to) the house.

If you've ever encountered the blockage of a sewer line then you're aware of how stressful it could get. A sewer can stop flowing due to many reasons, including frozen ground and impacted soil. Also, the buildup of paper, grease, and other wastes that are foreign to the system can block proper flow through the pipe. Root infiltration is another frequent problem. This occurs when the roots of nearby trees or shrubs enter the sewer line via a joint and grow to cover the pipe with hair-like roots. These blockages, if not dealt with immediately, may lead to the pipeline burst or collapse. This can result in the necessity of replacing the sewer line.
