What Causes Sewer Stoppages?

Several factors can contribute to a blocked or slow sewer line. Understanding the causes can help prevent future issues:

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture, making sewer lines a prime target. Over time, roots can infiltrate pipes, causing blockages, cracks, and leaks. Root intrusions are a leading cause of sewer line problems, especially in older properties.

Grease and Debris Buildup

Flushing grease, oils, food scraps, and non-flushable items down drains can lead to major clogs. Over time, buildup inside the sewer line can restrict or completely block wastewater flow.

Collapsed or Broken Pipes

Aging sewer lines made from clay, cast iron, or other brittle materials can collapse or crack under pressure, leading to backups. Soil shifting, corrosion, and poor installation can all contribute to broken pipes.

 Foreign Objects and Flushed Items

Items such as wipes, feminine hygiene products, toys, and excessive toilet paper can easily cause sewer line blockages. These foreign objects can snag inside pipes and create major obstructions.

  • How often should I have my sewer lines inspected?

     We recommend having your sewer line professionally inspected at least once every two to three years, especially for older properties or homes with large trees nearby.


  • Can I clear a sewer clog myself?

     Minor clogs may be cleared with a plunger, but sewer line blockages often require professional equipment and expertise. Attempting a DIY repair without the right tools can make the problem worse.


  • What happens if the sewer line is broken?

     If the inspection reveals a broken or collapsed sewer line, we will explain your repair or replacement options and provide a detailed estimate before proceeding.


  • Do you offer trenchless sewer repairs?

     Depending on the specific situation, we offer minimally invasive sewer repair methods designed to limit disruption to your property.
