A sewer backup can be a problem that is disheartening and vile. Waking up to find your bathroom flowing in raw sewage is enough to make anyone stressed. If you have experienced this before then you know how frustrating it was.

You don’t have to rush and call 9-1-1 but you can find lots of local plumbers online or in your city’s phone book. If the problem is a city sewer, the crew will be able to unblock the lines.

Prevention is the vital step in keeping your sewer from backing up. The easiest way to solve this problem is to keep yourself informed. Researching ways and methods of keeping your sewer clean will save you lots of money and time.

Here are some tips on keeping your drains from backing up:

  • Watch what you’re putting down them
  • Beware when planting new trees
  • Know where your sewer cleanout is located

You should never flush foreign objects down the drain. All too many times, homeowners ignore the fact that a drain will clog very easily once the following items are dumped down them:

  • Grease
  • Paper products
  • Hair

A new tree can be a nice addition to your property but it can turn out to be a headache too. Plant roots are a very common of pipe breaks that can be prevented by thinking the planting through more carefully because if that tree root gets into your lines, it’s going to cost more than the tree.

Some older properties do not have a cleanout. They are often required and the responsibility of the homeowner to make accessible. You may have to pay an additions fee for the cleanout to be located by your Phoenix plumber.
