Sewer System Backup Warning Signs

Tree Roots Infiltrating Your Sewer Line
If you find leaks or condensation on your pipes, these problems can entice tree roots to search for a water source. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg’s expert service professionals have ample experience resolving tree root issues when they invade pipes. Our team has dealt with tree roots stretching across a property to slip into sewage systems by growing into their tiny pipe section holes, cracks, and separations. After the roots find a water source, the tree will increase its root growth to that area to take advantage of the moisture. As more tree roots get into your pipes and enlarge the existing holes, the roots clog your system and then burst your pipe. Many signs may become apparent, such as tubs not draining properly, no water in your toilet bowl, your toilet making gurgling sounds, and sewage backups in your toilet or bathtub. If you notice any of these signs, you can rely on us for various solutions. The following are examples of services plumbing specialists may use to resolve your sewer system backup:
- Pipelining – Using a sleeve to line and seal your sewer pipe permanently resolves sewer line damage. This special sleeve conclusively stops water leakage, and our team may only apply it to a problematic pipe section. We don’t need to trench or demolish walls and other property features when using this method.
- Hydro jetting – A reliable long-term solution to sewer system issues is having our service professional clean your pipe using pressurized water jets. This option eliminates grease buildup, tree roots, and debris by thoroughly scouring your sewer line.
- Rooter work and drain cleaning – We begin this method by punching through the intrusive tree root and clearing your sewer line to restore its performance. After clearing your pipe, our team checks how extensive your tree root problem is and recommends permanent resolutions.
- Maintenance – Our service professional can sign you up for ongoing inspection and drain cleaning plans to ensure your grease buildup and other household debris stay under control. This service option also rids your unlined pipes of tree roots before roots take over and clog them.
- Pipe bursting – This option uses hydraulics to break apart cast iron, PVC, and clay sewer pipes and install new seamless pipes as a permanent fix.
When to Call Us for Professional Solutions
A drain problem might seem like an isolated situation, but Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg strongly recommends contacting us to check your system and prevent significant problems like a raw sewage backup. We typically start by using a special drain auger or cabling device to try to open your drain. However, if your drain doesn’t open using these tools, we have more advanced methods available to do the job. Tree roots might have destroyed your drain or sewer pipe, and these intrusive roots can easily grow and infiltrate the cracks and joints in your pipes. Other examples of sewer system issue culprits include hair, thick toilet paper, soap residue, sanitary products, and built-up discarded food or garbage disposal waste causing sewer blockages. If you simply have a clogged drain, our service professionals can perform quick and efficient clog-clearing solutions.
