GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

Sewer backups can have many causes, and most homeowners don’t know enough about their homes’ complex plumbing systems to take care of them on their own. We know the differences between your mainline and your main stack and have qualified technicians who are experienced in servicing both.

Generally speaking, the mainline is the horizontal pipe that takes wastewater out of your home and runs underground to the sewer system or your septic tank. The main stack, on the other hand, is a vertical pipe that runs from your roof all the way down to the bottom of your house, connecting to the mainline. Because clogs can occur in either one, it’s important to call us for comprehensive sewer line cleaning services when you suspect you have trouble.

WHAT CAUSES MAINLINE CLOGS?

In many cases, main sewer line clogs are caused not by what gets flushed down the toilet, but by what’s already growing outside your house. Trees and bushes extend their roots down into the earth looking for moisture, and they can break into your mainline over time. Although this may not have much of an impact at first, these roots will continue to grow as the tree or bush takes advantage of the new water source. Using a rooter to remove the roots may only be a temporary solution because the roots may grow back in a few days.

Broken and collapsed pipes are another common cause of drainage problems. These can result from age or damage caused by roots. Clogs also can be caused by pouring grease down your drain or food waste becoming stuck in your pipes.

SIGNS YOUR MAINLINE MIGHT BE CLOGGED

Clogged mainlines are more than unpleasant — they could be potentially hazardous to your health. Backed up sewage gives off carbon monoxide fumes that can be toxic if you’re exposed to them for too long. This is why you need to call us for mainline sewer services the moment you experience any of the warning signs your mainline might be clogged. These include:

• Water or sewer backups
• Raw sewage odor
• Gurgling noises coming from your drain or toilet

If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t hesitate. Call Hamilton Plumbing, Heating, A/C & Rooter and schedule your appointment to have the problem diagnosed and resolved by our qualified and experienced sewer line repair company.

HOW DO WE FIX MAINLINE CLOGS?

We can use sewer drain snakes to break up any clogs that might exist in your mainline. However, many times clogs are only part of a larger problem.
