As plumbing experts in Rockville, MD and the Washington D.C. area, we know there are some problems many homeowners want to try to fix themselves. Leaky faucets and clogged bathroom sinks or toilets are common do-it-yourself projects. We also know that a clogged sewer line or backed up sewer drain is not a problem you want to ignore.
Your home’s sewer system starts with one main sewer line. Several branches of pipes extend from this main line to tubs, toilets, sinks and other drainage sources around your home. The main sewer line transports the waste from your home to the main sewer system and eventually to the water treatment plant.
A clog in your main sewer line can create an expensive and messy problem. Here are six signs that you have a clogged sewer main and need to call a plumber in the DMV right away:
Traditional sewer line replacement requires digging up your yard, which most homeowners would unsurprisingly prefer to avoid. When given the option, they nearly always choose the faster and less invasive sewer line repair or replacement option. Trenchless sewer line replacement involves inserting a new sewer line through the existing damaged pipe. Instead of having to trench up the whole pipe, tearing up your yard, driveway or hardscaping in the process, a small hole can be made so the pipe threading machine can reach the existing sewer line.
Although this method does use more advanced technology than traditional trenching, it’s inevitably far cheaper. You don’t need to pay for the laborious process of having your yard and walkways torn up, and the process is completed much more quickly. There will also be far less repair required afterward. No need to completely redo your yard, driveway or walkways that were damaged or destroyed by the trenching process.
If you notice any of the signs above, you need to contact a professional plumber like Home Air Services. We can make sure there isn’t a problem in one of the pipes leading up to the main line, and then we’ll determine how to solve the problem. Solutions range from cleaning out the main line and removing debris to replacing the entire sewer line.
