Written by Clogged Sewer Lines
We get a lot of calls from our Phoenix customers asking us to fix their clogged sewer lines. Many of our clients are homeowners or renters who are freaked out because they are seeing nasty fluid coming back up from their drains. If you have a clogged sewer line, then this means that something is stopping the flow of water going down the drain. So that water and anything else going down that drain is sitting in an area and slowly begins to fill up, until you begin to see it coming back up the drain. Imagine a golf ball sitting in the middle of a pipe and the water can’t get past. Eventually, this area will become filled up with whatever is going down that drain and it will no longer be able to fit anything else down. This overflow will be seen at the top of the drain and in some instances, it will begin to fill up the sink, toilet or tub with this seepage. Oftentimes, this is dirty water that has been sitting around collecting dirt coming off of your body while taking showers or baths.
It can get even worse if you have a clogged sewer line in your toilet. This means that human waste is getting backed up and will eventually not flush and will overflow if you try to. Either of these scenarios will gross anyone out, leaving behind horrid smells and disgusting looking water in your toilet, shower or sink. Not all customers have an extremely clogged sewer line though. Some will notice that their drains are swallowing water slower than usual, which can be aggravating, especially if you’re trying to clean out the bathtub. Having a ring around your tub is hard to get rid of if dirty water is sitting in the tub for a long period of time and when you run the water to help clean out the tub, it only leaves another ring, since that water is going out slow as well.
One of the biggest mistakes that some homeowners make is to throw different types of chemicals down the drain in the hopes of unclogging the sewer line, only to find out that they have further damaged their pipes. The best thing to do is to call a professional Phoenix plumber to come by your home to get rid of the issue appropriately.
