A major sewer line blockage can impact your entire home, slowing down every drain within your home and causing severe backups. The primary sewer line obstruction could cause severe water damage if left unattended. However, clearing a significant sewer line blockage could be extremely risky.
Although it’s not recommended you attempt to clear the main sewer line by yourself, you can consider a few simple solutions to clear a blockage in the more minor connections before calling an expert plumber.
Take a plunge: Anytime you observe slow draining, such as your sink, toilet, or even your bathtub, use the plunger to remove any obstructions in the drain line. If the high water levels and slow drains ease, your plunge might have worked.
Snake it around: Then slowly twist the drain clockwise in the gutter where you think it is blocked. When you take the snake out, turn it counterclockwise. Be cautious when you are draining because snakes may split within the drain. If, while pulling the snake out, you pull out a large amount of what you think was creating a blockage, and you can clear it, you may have successfully removed the issue affecting your connecting line.
Examine the vent: If an obstruction has blocked the vent pipe, pressure can stop your drains flowing through the main sewer line. Climb up your roof and clean your vent of obstacles using an extraction device, garden hose, and drain snake to relieve the stress.
How to Clean the Pros and Main Sewer Line Clog
It’s time to contact an experienced plumber. Ottawa Plumbing Service professionals are educated, uniformed, and are ready to provide outstanding plumbing services and expert assistance with plumbing. Do not attempt to remove all of the sewer lines by yourself. Even if you hire equipment, you can result in more damage to your home and also put yourself at risk. When you contact Ottawa Plumbing Service to clear the primary sewer line obstruction, Here’s how we’ll accomplish it:
HydroScrub(r) Service: A long-term option for your plumbing issues, the Ottawa Plumbing Service technician can remove the main sewer line using pressure-controlled water jets. Utilizing a method known as HydroScrub(r) Service, the team will clean the sewer to eliminate the tree’s roots, debris, or any other accumulations like grease or pipe scale.
Pipe Lining: During pipelining, the Ottawa Plumbing Service plumber will line the entire pipe (or only the most problematic section) using a sleeve that will close it off and stop any leakage. This trenchless system creates less mess since the need isn’t to dig lines and is more durable. It will prevent the outside pipe from absorbing moisture, which draws the thirsty trees.
Pipe bursting: A different permanent pipe bursting method is employing hydraulics to cut up the old sewer pipes while creating a new seamless pipe. It is a great way to avoid further leaks.
Maintaining: Ottawa Plumbing Service also offers a drain camera inspection and drain-cleaning program to avoid the build-up of household garbage within your drain lines. It is also possible to prevent roots from getting into a pipe that gets not lined.
