Clogged Sewer and Clogged Toilet

admin — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:21:22 +0000

Sewer Clog results in major damage if not taken care of immediately. In many instances a home owner has to deal with a basement flooded along with a clogged sewer. Most of the time a sewer backs up without any warning and the clog is seen as a surprise by the home owner. To avoid these unpleasant surprises a home owner can take preemptive measures, such as:

Avoid pouring grease in the drains
Avoid flushing napkins, paper towels and other sanitary items
Get the sewer line electrically cleaned to cut tree roots grown in the sewer line
Make sure you have easy access to your house trap

Can a toilet cause a clog in a sewer pipe?

Toilets use a lot of water and many times certain items are flushed down the toilet that can end up clogging the main sewer line. This is not the most common reason why sewers get clogged. Sewer clogs occur due to many reasons and toilet bowls can be blamed about 10% of time according to our mechanics in the field.
Most of the times toilets get clogged due to paper products and when a clogged toilet is unclogged the clog moves down the line and may result in a sewer clog. Paper towels, disposable and cloth diapers and feminine products cause many problems in the sewer main. These products do not deteriorate quickly. They should be disposed of in the garbage.

Toilet Rats

All the videos were compiled because many customers sent us emails asking whether rats really do crawl up toilets. Though it is not that common, but yes, rats do indeed crawl up the sewer line and can also crawl into a toilet bowl. Our mechanics have encountered numerous jobs where they found rats in the sewer line but almost always they found dead rats. The above videos are taken directly from YouTube.com and are NOT produced by A$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain, Inc. Please comment on the post and email us your questions. We will gladly answer any of your questions related to sewer and drain clogs.

Sewer Water

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:16:28 +0000

The sewer water probably carries the most types of diseases and bacteria than any other place. You can never be careful enough. To prevent sewer back ups, you should get your sewer line snaked as a preventative measure. The following sewer was clogged due to tampons and grease. Our mechanic had to snake the line a few times before it unclogged. While the mechanic was snaking the sewer, the rain water kept bringing in more water, putting pressure on the mechanic to unclog the sewer before the customers basement got flooded. Our mechanics are always concerned about our customers, and this mechanic is no different. He unclogged the sewer before it could overflow and cause damage to the customers basement.

Sewer Backup?

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:51:00 +0000

Clogged sewer is a problem that people want to avoid, since a clogged sewer means, smell and sewage. The following video shows that a clogged sewer line can build up quite a bit of a pressure. In this case, the sewer back caused water to backup into the back yard, floor drains, basement shower and the basement toilet. If the mechanics had not kept his hands on the cap, the sewer water probably would have been all over him. It is very important to be careful while opening the sewer caps. In rare cases you can get injured if you get hit by the sewer cap.

Susan Boyle

Yes, we know, this blog is not about a TV show, but we just had to write about Susan Boyle. She did surprise anyone and everyone that saw/heard her sing. As the expressions of the audience showed, they never in a million years would have though that Susan Boyle would sing like that. Simply amazing.

Flooded Sewer?

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:31:09 +0000

Does this sight look familiar?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egRZWlSKuVM[/youtube]

This is a floor drain located in a boiler room. Water is backing up here because it is the lowest spot in the house. We know it is a sewer back up, because when the toilets are flushed we can see the dirty water coming out of the floor drain. To unclog this problem, you have to gain access to the house trap.
You can try to snake it from the floor drain itself, but, good luck with that. Snaking from the floor drain itself will be a waste of time as you more than likely will not be able to unclog the sewer via the floor drain.
This particular job also had a flood in the back yard due to the sewer back up. Once the sewer was unclogged, this floor drain along with the back yard drain was unclogged.

When to get the sewer inspected?

admin — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:24:22 +0000

Sewer pipes usually last decades before collapsing or shifting but with trees on the sidewalks and front lawn, the chances of a sewer line getting messed up rise a little bit. The sewer line is usually ignored by home owners until there is a problem. This is almost like driving a car without changing the engine oil until the car asks for an oil change. This can only go on for a certain period of time, but when the car gets old timely oil change becomes more important.
Same with the sewer lines, as the sewer pipe gets old it needs constant and timely attention. You need to do this especially if you have tree root problem. For old pipes, it is not only tree roots that cause trouble, over the years water running through the sewer line erodes the sewer line and dirt starts to fill up in the sewer line. This is not a problem obviously, until the sewer gets clogged and the home owner has to change the sewer line.

Home owners have an option to find out the health of their sewer line. Sewer cameras have been around for a while, many municipalities use robotic sewer cameras to inspect the city and county sewer system.
If you are having constant back ups due to roots or muck stoppages, you might want to consider a camera inspection for your sewer line. This will eliminate the guess work and you will see exactly what is in your pipe and how your sewer pipe looks from inside. Here are a few videos of camera inspections we performed recently. Some camera inspections were requested by the customers and others were recommended by our technicians.

How much does it cost to unclog a sewer?

admin — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:26:37 +0000

THE COST TO UNCLOG ANY ONE SEWER OR DRAIN IS $49.95!

Many customers are amazed when we tell them our price right over the phone. They always wonder why their previous sewer guy had to come take a look at the drain before he ever gave a price and the bad part was that the previous service they used, kept increasing the price for the same drain that was done by them last time.

At A$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain, Inc. our name is our price, we know what we have to do when a customer calls and complains about a sewer back up or a sink clog or a toilet clog or a vanity sink clog. We have been unclogging sewers and drains for many years and there should not be any need to “quote” a price until or unless the job is beyond a normal cleaning process. With thousands of jobs that we perform every month, we hardly see any job that requires a quote, infact our customers have a check written out for us before we walk in their house because they know how much they have to pay even before we start the job, you guessed it, $49.95.

We have started the trend of having set prices for sewer and drain cleaning services. These days there are a few other companies that basically have copied us and portray themselves as “Any Sewer or Drain”. Please look for the yellow splash on our white trucks for the Original $49.95 Any Sewer or Drain. Even if you do get to use the imitators make sure you pay $49.95 for any one sewer or drain.
