Sewage backups can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening if they aren’t properly addressed, as it can cause electrical malfunctions, serious damage to your home or even bring diseases. This can be caused by extensive clogging, tree roots seeking moisture, and backed up sewer lines. Corroded Pipes can become a problem as well.
Clearing sewage backup is a very dirty job, in Windsor or anywhere else, but ABC Drainage and Plumbing can help ! Here are some effects caused by sewer backup, plus some methods a professional plumber may utilize to fix that problem, saving your nose and eyes in the process.
Having a backwater valve installed can be a major safety net for homeowners, preventing your basement from invasion by raw sewage and flood waters. Should your cement floor and basement walls age over time, they become less waterproof, leaving your home exposed to flooding and accompanying debris.
Backwater valves are small devices that can be found at your local Home Depot. But it makes a big impact by stopping the water flow and removing any excess water. They are considered equalizers to water pressure.
A professional plumber will dig through your basement floor, then implement a new sewer line so the valve can be installed and function at its best. Once installed, you are responsible for properly maintaining your new valve. Should it crack and start leaking, call a plumber right away for repairs
Nothing to fear here; we’re not talking about an actual snake in your sewer. This device helps to dislodge clogs during drain repair. Armed with the drain snake, the plumber can locate the main sewer line, remove the snake’s cap, then check for any standing water in your pipe. Should standing water be there, plumbers will ensure the drain machine cable runs closer to your street. If not, the cable will be pointing towards your house.
Once the cable’s head is removed, it will slowly move through your drain until it feels resistance. It will move back and forth a few feet at a time until your drain is fully unclogged.
