  • It's important to stay alert for the warning signs of a residential sewer system backup. Typically, when there is too much rain or snow melt infiltrating residential sewers, problems can occur. Watching out for the common warning signs such as water backup from your toilet, shower, or sink drain, gurgling sounds coming from your drains or toilet, multiple drains backing up, and a strong sewage odor can indicate that there is a problem. Any pools of water that accumulate around your basement floor drain may indicate an upcoming sewer system backup due to too much infiltrating rainfall. Knowing these warning signs is an important first step in preventing residential sewer system backups and floods.

Tree Roots & Your Sewer System

Heavy rains can cause residential sewer systems to back up, but another common culprit is tree roots. Roots feed off the moisture and nutrients in residential sewers, and it is not uncommon for them to reach great lengths to gain access. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Johnson County's service professionals frequently see how far tree roots can travel and easily find their way through separations in pipe sections and small holes. Once water is discovered, the tree begins to increase root growth in that area, quickly clogging and potentially bursting your residential pipes. Common signs of intrusion include backups in tubs or toilets, gurgling sounds emanating from these fixtures, bathtubs not draining properly, and empty toilet bowls. It's best to stay aware of this to get ahead of a potential issue before it becomes more severe.

Our Sewer System Backup Solutions

Several sewer system backup solutions can be pursued to help prevent further damage. Rooter work is one method professional sewer system backup services use to clear debris and blockages often caused by tree roots, among other issues. Hydro jetting uses high pressure to scour pipes and flush sewer lines, while pipe lining and pipe bursting replace damaged or deteriorated pipes without digging them up. Ultimately, the best way to avoid sewer system backups is through routine sewer maintenance and repairs.

Ways to Prevent Sewer System Backups

There are several ways to prevent sewer system backups from happening. These include regularly inspecting your pipes and disposing of things that could clog up your drains, like grease, coffee grounds, and food particles. Additionally, installing a backwater valve can help prevent wastewater flow from backing up into the home. Installing screens over outdoor openings can also help prevent large items from entering the sewer system. Finally, an annual inspection can identify any potential issues before they become a problem.
