Signs You Need Sewer Line Cleaning

The sewer line is one of the essential parts of your home’s plumbing, since it is the pipe that removes the collected wastewater from your home and carries it to the sewer main in the center of the street. But you probably don’t think much about your sewer line on a daily basis; it does its job unobtrusively and hidden from sight.

But a time may come when you will need to give your sewer line consideration in order to keep it working effectively. Sewer pipes can become clogged and congested, often with excessive levels of fat and grease. When this happens, a sewer line will need professional cleaning. We’ve listed some of the signs you should watch for that will warn you the time has come to arrange for sewer cleaning in Covina, CA. To arrange for this service, call the drain and sewer team at Ace Pelizon Plumbing. We offer excellent sewer cleaning services using hydro-jetting and other advanced equipment that will get the job done fast and effectively.

Indications it’s time for sewer line cleaning

  • Slow drains around the house: A single slow drain usually means a drainpipe that has a clog of hair, soap scum, or food waste. Often, you can fix these troubles using a sink plunger; other times a plumber will need to use a motorized drain snake to clean the clog. But if the slow drains are occurring throughout your home, it’s a warning that the sewer line itself has backed up because of obstructions. Call for sewer cleaning experts to take care of clearing out the line.
  • Bad drain odors: A foul sewer smell from a drain can be as simple a problem as a dried out p-trap. You only need to pour water down the drain to restore the water barrier that prevents these odors from escaping up the sewer line and into your home. But if these smells persist, and you detect a gurgling sound from the drains, then it means the sewer line is backing up and needs to be cleaned out. (The gurgling sound indicates sewer gas pushed up through the water in the p-trap.)
  • Water backing up into the tub or shower after the toilet flushes: There are a number of odd behaviors from your plumbing fixtures that will indicate the sewer line is becoming blocked. If water flushed down the toilet can’t make it through the sewer line, the water will re-emerge at the lowest point, such as a tub or shower. Call for sewer line work right away when this happens.
