A fully functioning sewer system is one of the keys to a healthy home. Because sewer lines carry all the wastewater from your home, however, clogged pipe lines are an eventuality for any homeowner to face.
Clogs happen due to long-term buildup from food and other organic debris, such as hair, soap scum, grease and mineral deposits. Another major source of pipe clogs is from tree roots. Because of their propensity to seek out water, tree roots love to grow around pipes, and sometimes will even push inside pipes, permanently blocking drains. All these factors can contribute to major pipe clogs that cause problems such as sewage odors and even backed-up drains inside your home.
