Sewer line blockages can lead to raw sewage backing up, and eventually getting into your tub, shower and sink drains. Sewer line backups often lead to expensive repairs. The cost of having to replace floors, vanities, and even support joists because of the back-up of a sewer main could exceed the cost of the plumbing repair quickly, which makes early detection and repair crucial to reducing costs.

There are many reasons why sewer lines can get blocked. In excess paper use as well as grease and oil from kitchen waste hair, and soapy residue from sinks and showers could cause sewer line obstructions.

If a homeowner will try their hand at getting a little messy cleaning the main sewer line could be a DIY project. The first step is to turn off the main water source to the house off. You will find an incredibly small, circular PVC pipe that is fitted with a cap or rubber screw-on cap. The removal of the cap will relieve built up pressure and allow water to drain out from (rather than return to) the house.

There's a chance you've experienced an obstruction in your sewer. There are many things that can cause a sewer to stop flowing, such as the impact of soil or frozen ground. The pipe can also become blocked by paper, grease or any other foreign material. Root infiltration is another common issue. This happens when roots from nearby trees or plants enter the sewer line through an intersection and expand to cover the pipe with a hair-like root mass. If they are not dealt with immediately the blockages could cause the pipeline to rupture or break or even collapse. The damage could necessitate the repair or replacement of the sewer line.
