But what causes these pesky backups?

Waste water flows through relatively small lines on your property to the larger, county lines in the street (or to your private septic system). From there, the sewage travels by gravity or pressure to a water reclamation facility. The stream is constant, with peaks in the morning and evening. Each day millions of gallons of wastewater safely reach facilities to be reclaimed and returned to the environment

Unfortunately, a blockage in the sewer line can interfere with this normally quiet, out-of-sight process. A blockage in a private or county line causes a back-up through shower drains, laundry drains or toilets at the lowest point in your home. The overflow will continue until the blockage is removed or until sewage is no longer entering the line.

For kitchen sink drains soap, grease and detergents slowly build up on the inner walls of your drain pipes and can eventually cause a backup. Or a bunch of potato peels will clog it right away!

For shower and tub drains, if you see yourself standing in water and the water covers the shower floor and your feet, you have a soft clog that can eventually lead to a complete backup.

Properly functioning bath drains should always drain water right away.

For bathroom sink drains hair, soap and toothpaste buildups are common causes for drain clogs.

Also, anything which should not be in a sewer line has the potential of causing a clog. For example:

  • Kitchen grease, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and feminine products can accumulate and cause a clog.
  • Tree roots seeking moisture can grow through cracks in the lines and cause a clog.
  • Vandals have stopped up lines by putting bricks, wood, oil filters, bed springs and even Christmas trees in manholes.
  • Illegal hookups allow excess water into the lines. Outside stairwell drains, sump pumps, roof leaders, and rain gutters should not be connected to the sewer system. A sewer system is designed to carry a predetermined amount of sewage. Rainwater not only overloads the system, but also raises the cost of the treatment process.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect your property.

What You Can Do to Prevent Sewer Backups!

Do Not:

  • Put diapers, feminine products, or sanitary napkins in the toilet (or small toys)
  • Dispose of grease down the drain
  • Plant trees near sewer lines
  • Connect any area way drains or sump pumps to the sewer line


Do:

  • Hire a plumber to install a back water valve on the lowest drain line exiting your home. Regularly inspect and maintain the valve. The purpose of the back water valve is to prevent backups from entering from the county sewer line into your home. You don’t want all your neighbors’ sewage in your house.
  • Modify the plumbing line so that water is pumped to an upper level drain, eliminating the drains at the lower level.

And just in case…

Locate and keep accessible the sewer cleanout in your front yard and in your home. If you don’t have a cleanout, have one installed by a plumber. The cleanout is the property owner’s responsibility.

Check your homeowner’s insurance policy. If you’re not covered for back-ups, call your agent for information on costs and coverage options. If you experience a back-up, save all receipts related to any repair, cleaning or damages.

Project: Clear a Clogged or Slow Drain

Review by Gerard B. in Florence, NJ

This was an emergency call. Ericson's called quickly after I applied on HomeAdvisor. He explained that he could send

a technician, but would take a little time because he was at a difficult job. I called after a couple hours to check, and

he explained they were having greater difficulty at the existing job, but WOULD come to fix our problem as soon as

possible. He thanked me for my patience. Within another hour or so, they called me to confirm the technician was on

the way and would arrive in 20-30 minutes. The technician arrived, assessed, and fixed the problem within another

hour or so. The cost was not cheap, but not exorbitant for a Saturday emergency. Would recommend these folks and

am very happy with how everything overall was handled.
