What Causes the Main Sewer Line to Back Up?

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.

Services We Provide

  • A buildup of materials in your drain pipe is often the culprit behind a slowly draining sink, toilet, or other wastewater outlets. This issue can even cause them to stop draining altogether. Such accumulations are a common occurrence in any plumbing system. Over time, bathroom drains can get clogged with dirt, soap, hair, and other personal care products. Similarly, kitchen drains may develop blockages due to food scraps and grease building up after being washed down the drain. Utility sinks are also prone to obstructions, as a wide array of materials can gather in the pipes and slow down or completely halt water flow. Additionally, foreign objects, such as pull-up diapers or children's toys, which are not meant to be in your plumbing, can cause significant issues. Having these items in your drain will potentially lead to a backup in your sewer system. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI is ready and willing to assist with any slow-draining or backed-up drains and ensure your sewer system functions smoothly and efficiently.
