A clog or blockage in your sewer line may not be immediately noticeable, but they do happen, and can have negative consequences on your home, such as sewer smell, or backup in your home’s toilets or sinks. In certain cases, the line may need to be repaired or even replaced. Most of the time, though, the problem can be fixed by having one of our technicians clear or unclog your home’s sewer system.

What is a sewer line?
A sewer line (sometimes called a drain line or sewer pipe) is the main pipe that connects from the home to the sewer main underneath the street and is wastewater’s first step on its journey through the sewer system. This pipe is usually angled downward so that the pull of gravity can direct the wastewater into the sewer main with ease.

The sewer line is only a few inches in diameter and depending on the location, can be buried feet below the ground, usually running directly below the front yard. These are also typically plastic pipes that can be fitted together with a rubber coupling.

How do I know if my home’s sewer line has a problem?
A good sign of an issue with your home’s sewer line is a toilet that flushes and fills slowly. The toilet shows the most dramatic instances of blockage because it sends sudden large discharges of water and waste into the sewer line. If plunging your toilet properly doesn’t rectify the issue, it may be indicative of a sewer line problem.
