At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Coeur d'Alene, we understand that a properly functioning sewer drain is essential to the comfort and safety of your home. Unfortunately, sewer system backups can occur, leading to significant inconveniences and potential health risks. We're here to help you understand the common causes of these issues and how our professional services can help you resolve them.
Sewer drain backups can have several causes, including:
- Clogs: The most common cause of sewer backups is clogs in the drain pipes or main sewer lines. These clogs can occur from the buildup of toilet paper, hair, soap scum, grease, or food particles.
- Old Sewer Systems: Aging infrastructure can cause frequent backups. Older pipes may crack or collapse over time, leading to blockages.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots can invade sewer pipes, causing blockages and backups.
- Gutters, Downspouts, and Sump Pumps: If these are routed into the sewer system, they can contribute to backups during heavy rainfall.
Our plumbers have the equipment and expertise to accurately diagnose the cause of your sewer drain backup and provide the appropriate services. From preventative maintenance to emergency drain care, we can help repair your home’s plumbing efficiently and effectively.
