FAQs
How can I tell if my home’s main sewer line is clogged?
Warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds when you flush a toilet or run a sink, water pooling around a floor drain, or foul odors coming from fixtures. Because the main line connects every drain in the house, problems tend to appear in several places at the same time. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Mulberry home, call us right away so we can run a camera inspection and locate the blockage before more serious damage occurs.
What are the most common causes of main line blockages in Mulberry?
The main culprits we see are grease buildup, flushed wipes or hygiene products, heavy scale from hard water, and invasive tree roots. Older clay or cast-iron pipes are especially susceptible to cracks that allow roots to enter. Seasonal storms can also wash soil and debris into broken lines. Our years of local experience help us quickly identify the cause and choose the safest, most cost-effective repair method.
Can tree roots really damage my sewer line, and how do you fix root intrusions?
Yes. Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture inside sewer pipes. Once they find a small crack or loose joint, they grow into the line and create a dense mat that catches toilet paper and waste, eventually causing a complete blockage. We typically clear the roots with a high-powered hydro-jet or specialized root-cutting auger, then follow up with a camera inspection. If the pipe is badly cracked, we can perform trenchless spot repairs or install a cured-in-place liner to seal the entire section without digging up your yard.
What should I do if sewage is backing up into my house?
First, stop using all water fixtures immediately to prevent additional waste from entering the system. Next, switch off power to any affected areas if it can be done safely, and keep people and pets away from contaminated water. Then call our emergency line. We offer 24/7 response in Mulberry and can arrive quickly with proper protective gear and extraction equipment. After clearing the blockage, we’ll disinfect the area and provide documentation for your insurance company.
How often should I schedule main line inspections and maintenance?
For most homes we recommend a professional camera inspection every two years, or annually if you have large trees, an older sewer line, or a history of clogs. Preventive hydro-jetting on the same schedule keeps grease, scale, and minor root growth from accumulating. Regular maintenance is far less expensive than an emergency dig-up and helps you avoid water damage, health hazards, and costly property repairs.
