Often, home and business owners overlook pipe and sewer upkeep until problems occur, sparking urgent plumbing emergencies that can’t be ignored. Fortunately, you can fend off these issues by investing in professional sewer cleaning.  Here is a little more information about this vital service, and how it can protect the functionality of your home plumbing.

What Is Sewer Cleaning?

As wastewater, sewage, and food particles from your garbage disposal leave your house, they pass through your sewer main into your municipal system. Unfortunately, like other plumbing lines, your main sewage line can become clogged over time, leading to problems like foul odors, slow drains, and even backup in your home. 

Located outdoors, your main line gives sewer cleaning professionals access to the clog, so they can get things moving again. Professional plumbers use high-powered water jets and suction devices to remove debris and clean the sides of your line, ensuring that waste can continue to make its way into the city sewer system.  

How Can It Protect Your Plumbing?

Your sinks, showers, and tubs will work better when they drain properly, which is why sewer cleaning is so important. Although it’s typically recommended as an as-needed service, many professionals recommend having it performed if you’ve recently moved into an older home or are experiencing problems like slow drains, foul odors, or an overflowing washing machine. By having regular sewer cleaning, you can eliminate factors that can cause plumbing problems, making it easier to troubleshoot your devices and prevent dangerous backflows.
