Frequent Sewer Problems

Located next to water supply pipes inside structures are bigger pipes that make up the drain, waste, vent - or DWV system. Drain-waste-vent pipelines incline downwards to help the flushing of used tissue paper, waste and dirty water from the residence with the power of gravitation. Waste matter is removed from the residence by the drainage-waste-venting pipes through a sanitary sewer line that connects to a main sewage treatment facility. Main sewage pipes are exposed to an array of plumbing inconveniences including:

Tree root invasion


Roots adore water, and consequently have an inclination to grow towards watery origins such as underground sewage pipes. Extending roots of trees split and congest sewer pipes with hirsute roots catching waste matter carried inside. Overtime bulks of debris and roots congest sewer pipelines and stave off wastewater from drifting towards the central sewage treatment facility. Therefore effluent will switch ends and backup into buildings.

Sewer backwashes


Incorrect removal of diapers, hygiene products, wet towels and more in wcs generate immovable clogs in central sewage pipes. Contrary to streaming in one direction from house to sanitary sewer and main, under such circumstances wastewater will switch direction and backwash into residences. Sewer backwashes are offensive and contaminate houses with waste matter.

Sewer gas odors


Traps inside drains contain water seals that stop unpleasant gas stenches from entering homes. Sewer gas odors enter residences thru drains devoid of liquid trap seals. Evaporation of water seals typically takes place in drains not often used. Pouring one gallon of water down a drain will reestablish the seal of water seal and rectify the inconvenience of indoors sewer stenches.
