Common Causes of Main Sewer Line Blockages

Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines through small cracks or joints, causing significant blockages that restrict water flow.
Grease and Fat Buildup
Pouring cooking oils, fats, or grease down sinks can accumulate in the sewer line over time, narrowing the pipe and causing backups.
Debris Accumulation
Flushed items such as wipes, sanitary products, paper, and household debris can collect in the main line and create clogs.
Pipe Damage or Corrosion
Old or damaged pipes may collapse, crack, or corrode, resulting in restricted flow or complete blockage.

Signs of Main Sewer Line Problems

Multiple drains in the home are slow or backing up simultaneously
Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains
Unpleasant sewage odors in the home or yard
Water backup in sinks, tubs, or toilets
Lush patches of grass above the sewer line due to leaks

Cleaning Process

Inspection and Diagnosis
Professionals may use cameras to inspect the interior of the sewer line, locating the precise blockage or damage.
Mechanical Cleaning
- Drain Snakes/Augers: For moderate clogs or obstructions.
- Motorized Sewer Cleaning Machines: High-powered tools capable of breaking up tough blockages, including grease, roots, and debris.
Hydro Jetting (Optional)
High-pressure water jets can be used to clear grease, sludge, and buildup from the inside of the pipe, leaving it thoroughly cleaned and smooth.
Testing and Verification
After cleaning, water is flushed through the system to ensure all blockages are cleared and the sewer line is flowing properly.
Preventive Measures
Guidance may include avoiding flushing inappropriate items, proper disposal of grease, and regular maintenance checks to prevent future problems.
