Signs of a Blocked Sewer: Recognising Early Warning Signs

Identifying the early warning signs of a blocked sewer is crucial in preventing more significant plumbing issues. Here are some of the tell tale signs of a blowed sewer line: 
One of the first indicators of a blocked sewer line is the slow draining of water in sinks and toilets. This can signify a blockage in the wastewater system. If you notice your water level draining slower than usual, it’s wise to contact a licensed plumber to investigate further.
Gurgling sounds from your plumbing fixtures can indicate a disturbance in your property’s wastewater flow. This noise, often a result of trapped air in the sewer line due to a blockage, is a clear sign that something isn’t right with your plumbing system.
Foul smells coming from your drains can be a strong indication of a blockage in the sewer system. These odours often arise when wastewater is unable to move freely through the system and may signify a need to call a professional plumber.
A clear sign of a blocked sewer line is sewage backup in toilets or bathtubs. This happens when wastewater has nowhere to go due to a blockage and starts to reverse its flow. If you experience any sewage backups, it’s essential to contact a licensed plumber immediately to address the issue before it worsens.
Surprisingly, lush patches of grass near sewer lines can indicate a sewage leak underground. The nutrients from the leaking sewage can act as a fertiliser, causing the grass to appear greener and more vibrant in these areas. This is often a subtle but telling sign of a possible sewer line issue.
If you find yourself frequently unblocking drains in your home, it could be a symptom of a larger problem in the sewer system. Recurrent blockages can signify a persistent issue that needs professional attention, as it could indicate a partial or complete blockage in the main sewer line.

Causes of Sewer Drain Blockage: From Tree Roots to Foreign Objects

Understanding the various factors leading to blockages in sewer drains is crucial for effective management and prevention. We are equipped to identify the wide range of causes that contribute to blockage in our network. From invasive tree roots to unexpected foreign objects, our expertise allows us to pinpoint and address these issues promptly, ensuring the smooth functioning of your sewer system.
Tree roots seeking moisture can infiltrate and block sewer pipes, leading to significant blockages. These roots can cause cracks or complete blockages in the sewerage system. Regular inspection and maintenance are key to identifying and managing tree root intrusion before it leads to a serious blockage.
Grease and fat from kitchen waste can accumulate in sewer pipes, solidifying and causing blockages. This is a common issue in households and commercial kitchens alike. To prevent this, avoid disposing of grease and fat down the sink and use grease traps where possible.
Items like sanitary products, wipes, and ‘flushable’ wipes can create blockages as they do not break down easily in the sewer system. Educating households on what shouldn’t be flushed down the toilet is crucial in preventing these types of blockages.
Hair and soap scum can accumulate over time, particularly in shower drains, leading to slow draining and eventually a blockage. Frequent cleaning and using drain guards can significantly reduce the risk of such blockages.
Structural defects in sewer pipes, such as cracks, collapses, or misalignments, often due to aging or poor installation, can lead to blockages and sewage overflow. Regular inspection by a professional plumber can identify these issues early, preventing major blockage problems.
Excess food waste disposed of in sinks can lead to clogs in the kitchen drain and further down in the sewer line. It’s advisable to dispose of food scraps in compost bins rather than the sink and to use sink strainers to catch any remaining food particles.

Regular Maintenance: Key to Preventing Sewer Blockages

Proactive Approach for a Healthy Sewer System Regular maintenance is crucial in preventing sewer blockages and ensuring the smooth operation of your sewerage system. We emphasise the importance of routine inspections and cleaning to avoid the common issues that lead to blockages. This proactive approach not only saves you from future hassles but also prolongs the lifespan of your sewer pipes.

  • Scheduled Inspections: Regular inspections, using tools like CCTV cameras, help identify potential blockages or weaknesses in the sewer pipes before they escalate into major problems.
  • Preventive Cleaning: Periodic cleaning, particularly hydro-jetting, effectively removes accumulations like grease, sediment, and tree roots, significantly reducing the risk of blockages.
  • Education and Advice: Our team also advises on best practices for waste disposal, such as avoiding flushing non-degradable items and proper disposal of kitchen grease, to prevent clogs.
