Sewer Line Plumbing

Large-diameter pipes that run parallel to water supply lines in every building make up the drain, waste, vent - or DWV - system. Wastewater from the house flows to a main sewer line, which then transports it to a sewage treatment facility or to a septic tank.

All drain & waste pipes slant downwards, so that waste is carried by gravity towards the sewer line. It is gravity which guides the contents of the sewer line down to the septic tank or to the sewage system; any clogs or leaks in the line will reveal themselves with unpleasant odors. If PVC lining is installed inside the sewer line, the odds of a leak occurring are greatly reduced.

Root intrusion can potentially result in blocked sewer lines. In some cases, you may be able to clear out the roots with a garden hose. If you are unsuccessful, ask for our professional Houston Texas Plumber staff to help you out with a strong power auger. You can use chemical solutions, such as copper sulfate, to prevent the roots from growing back in your sewer line, but you should do so only on the advice of your plumber. Our sewer cleaning services will clear roots and other obstacles that invade the sewer line.
