 A clogged main sewage line is perhaps the most serious plumbing issue you might encounter. Because there is nowhere for wastewater to go, a clogged sewer drain effectively paralyses the whole plumbing system. Everything depends on removing this obstruction. Even plumbing accidents that do not involve human waste are terrifying. Sadly (and we hate to be the bearers of bad news), occasionally they do.

Many frightening plumbing issues are, fortunately, rather simple to prevent. A few fundamental preventative actions are the best approach to avoid sewage backup. If your sewage drain pipe is not draining, it's likely due to one of the following three causes:

Tree Roots in Sewer Line

This is particularly pertinent for Californians like us. Trees require moisture to flourish. If their access to water is restricted (due to a drought, for example), they will hunt for it elsewhere, even your sewer system. Tiny root tendrils can enter your sewage drain pipe through tiny holes or pipe fittings and eventually cause havoc.

Do not assume you are protected simply because your yard is devoid of trees. Roots may travel far. In reality, the source of your sewage backup might have been the wandering roots of your neighbor's trees! Regular inspections accompanied by sewer and drain cleaning are the simplest means of protecting your property against tree roots.

Sewer Clog

This is the most frequent reason for sewage backups. Unfortunately, individuals attempt to flush a wide variety of items that do not belong in a toilet. Towels, oil, recently deceased goldfish, you name it. When you flush something down the toilet that your pipes cannot handle, your pipes become clogged.

If only a single fixture is clogged, the obstruction is likely contained inside a single set of pipes. This is welcome news! If sewage backs up in fixtures across your entire home or near your sewer cleanout, the blockage is in your main sewer line. This is a severe issue that requires expert assistance. To avoid these sorts of blockages in the first place, be mindful of what you flush. Never pour hot grease down the drain, and use the garbage disposal with caution!

A damaged or broken sewer line

Nothing lasts forever, and your sewage line is no exception. Depending on the age of your property, the sewage line may have collapsed due to the weight of the soil above it, or it may be made of obsolete materials. Or a mixture of the two options. Not always have the majority of sewage lines been constructed from durable, heavy-duty plastic materials, as is the case now.

Typically, older homes feature cast iron or clay pipes. Over time, these materials may degrade and deteriorate until they crack or even collapse. When a sewer pipe fails, the sewage it processes has nowhere to go; thus, it backs up. If you are concerned about the quality of your sewage line, you may have a professional plumber do a camera check of your pipes.
