SEWER CLEANING
The most common cause of a sewer line blockage is from tree roots. Any tree in the immediate area of your drainage system can cause you problems. Moisture and nutrients from a sewer pipe are natural foods for a tree. Over the years of tree growth, the roots grow in the direction of the sewer and seek out any cracks or small openings in the joints of the pipe.
A tree will grow a tap root right into your sewer. As the tree and the root grow healthy and larger it restricts the drain flow. Once the invasion of roots occurs, other debris such as toilet waste is deposited in your sewer. Often you will hear a gurgling sound from your toilet bowl or see water backing up from the floor drain. Clay tiles are most commonly affected by this type of blockage. Once a sewer is clogged, it more often than not, requires a heavy duty drain cleaning machine that attempts to cut through the tough roots.
HELPFUL HINTS: Sewer blockages often show warning signs of a pending clog with a sluggish flushing toilet, a floor drain making a gurgling noise or water backup from a floor drain. If you are having these problems now is the time to call your Ace Professional and get your sewer back in good working order.
Other causes of sewer trouble are due to foreign material such as gravel or stone dropped into a sewer line or pipes are commonly found to be misaligned and or broken due to improper installation.
