Sewer line Blockage

A sewer blockage is a serious problem that can cause sewage to back up into your home and damage your property. Sewage can also pose health risks and environmental concerns. Here are some common causes and effects of sewer blockages, and how Daniel Plumbing And Maintenance can help you prevent and fix them.

Causes of sewer blockages

Sewer blockages can occur when something inside the pipe stops the water flow. Some of the common causes are:

  • Flushable wipes and other hygiene products: These items are not designed to break down in water and can accumulate in the sewer line, creating a clog. They can also catch other debris and form a larger blockage. You should never flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet.
  • Grease and fats: When you pour grease or fat down the drain, it can solidify in the sewer pipes and form a sticky coating that reduces the pipe diameter. This can trap other food particles and create a hard mass that blocks the water flow. You should always dispose of grease and fats in a container and throw it in the trash.
  • Tree roots: Tree roots can grow into the sewer line through cracks or joints and cause a break or a blockage. They can also wrap around the pipe and squeeze it, reducing the water flow. Tree roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients in the sewer line, so you should avoid planting trees near the sewer line or remove any existing ones that pose a threat.
  • Aging sewer systems: Older sewer pipes may be made of clay or cast iron, which can corrode, crack, or collapse over time. This can cause leaks, breaks, or blockages in the sewer line. You should inspect your sewer line regularly and replace any damaged or outdated pipes.

Effects of sewer blockages

Sewer blockages can have serious consequences for your home and the environment. Some of the effects are:

  • Sewage backup: When the sewer line is blocked, the wastewater has nowhere to go but back up into your home through the lowest drains, such as sinks, showers, toilets, or floor drains. This can cause flooding, foul odors, and property damage. Sewage can also contain harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemicals that can cause illnesses or infections. You should avoid contact with sewage and call a professional plumber as soon as possible.

Tree Root Damage

Tree roots damage anything that gets in its path. You might walk down the street one day and see cracks in the sidewalk and wonder how they got there. One way is when a tree Grows to maturity and the roots are close to the surface as they grow anything on top of it will Buckle or be pushed up and in a lot of those cases concrete sidewalks are placed right above baby roots. As time goes on those same baby roots are 2000 times the size or more and once they grow to maturity that could cause real damage to the concrete, which damages the walkways with cracks and such. Roots also destroy sewer lines that come from homes and businesses and once the tree roots successfully penetrate a sewer line it will make a home to feed. And what better way to eat for a tree when it gets perfect fertilizer from the sewage that travels through the sewer line. Tree root damage needs to be repaired as soon as possible to bypass a major blockage that could possibly flood a home or business out with sewage. You should have your sewer line inspected for tree root damage. You could call Daniel plumbing and maintenance for a proper inspection 661-733-9308. This picture in the post explains just how aggressive a tree can reach through a sewer line, the tree at this property of the photo actually reached all the way to a guest bathroom by traveling through a broken sewer line. Now this could only happen without doing any type of maintenance to your home sewer system. So this tells you how important it is to do preventative maintenance so you do not have tree root damage on your property. So do yourself a favor and call a licensed professional like Daniel Plumbing And Maintenance to have the services performed.

Watch For The Shaby Work

Here is a job we did for a customer located in Palmdale California, the customer had a technician come out from another company, we won’t mention the name to give them any good or bad promotion. Now this company is licensed and are contractors, which blew my mind because how did you complete the process of acquiring a contractor’s license and your logic would let you consider this job you see in the photo complete and water tight. Customers are surprised by these actions but we are not here at Daniel Plumbing And Maintenance. We hear the horror stories all the time, and actually end up fixing most of them. We always say, “DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME”.

Now this is not to be taken lightly, because the way this pipe was put together in the image connected to this post, this could have been a disaster.

This could have caused a flood that could have caused tens of thousands of dollars.

Hydro-Jetting Keeps Your Sewer Line Open

hydro jetting

Hydro jetting is one of the most efficient ways of doing preventive maintenance to your personal sewer line, the hydro jet uses a high pressure water that could reach up to 4000 PSI. This high pressure water has an attachment on the front of the equipment that has strategic aim and makes sure that the walls of the sewer line are cleared of all debris, and once the wall is cleared of all its debris,  the attachment also has a water distribution in the front which pushes everything that falls from the walls of the pipe forward to the main sewer line which ensures that you have a more free-flowing experience. Hydro jetting also remove root intrusion inside the piping.

A lot of people don’t realize that once a pipe has been inside the ground for so many years it is dried out of its moisture and things begin to go wrong, hence we have root intrusion. To educate you, roots only want water and nutrients, if they could find it they will follow any type of source or opening that is available. And when you have dried out pipes brittle and worn down they will leak the sewage water into the soil and the trees can smell that water and waste. Watch the trees smell that water touching the dirt Underground they send the roots to the broken source to gather as much water as possible. The Roots find the break in the pipe, it enters the pipe by growing stage-by-stage, and once it is inside the pipe it gets stronger and stronger and stronger. And the stronger it gets the bigger it gets the more obstruction that would be in the pipe, this would cause a blockage for sure once it reaches a certain Mass. The photo that you see attached to this post is a commercial grade sewer line and this is one type of buildup, as you can see there has to be a combination of grease, dirt ,film and Etc… Preventive Maintenance is the way to go.
