Common Sewer Problems

Running along water supply lines inside structures are larger pipes that comprise the drain, waste, vent - or DWV system. Drainage-waste-venting pipes slope downward to assist the removal of waste, gray water and used toilet paper from the home with the force of gravitation. Waste matter is disposed from the house by the DWV pipes thru a sanitary sewer pipe network that connects to a main sewage treatment facility. Main sewer pipes are unprotected to a selection of plumbing inconveniences including:

Tree root invasion


Roots relish water, and for that reason have an inclination to cultivate toward waterlogged origins such as subterranean sewage pipes. Broadening roots of trees split and plug sewer pipelines with hairy roots catching waste substance carried inside. Overtime bulks of roots and waste plug sewage pipes and avoid waste water from drifting toward the central sewage treatment facility. Thus sewage will reverse directions and backflow into buildings.

Sewer backflows


Improper ejection of wet wipes, nappies, sanitation products and more in W.Cs cause intractable blockages in main sewer pipes. Instead of streaming in 1 direction from residence through sanitary sewer and into main, where the clog settles sewage will inverse direction and backflow into houses. Sewer backups are offensive and contaminate residences with waste substance.

Sewer gas odors


Traps inside drains include plugs of water that stop offensive gas smells from accessing residences. Sewer gases invade homes thru drains without water seals. Water seal evaporation generally arises in drains not in regular use. Dispensing one gallon of water into a drain will reinstate the seal of water seal and correct the problem of indoors sewer smells.
