Meridian Sewer & Drain Cleaning

The drains in your home carry wastewater from each plumbing fixture and appliance. The drain system empties into the main sewer line, which carries the wastewater to the street where it meets up with the municipal sewer system. The drains can gradually become clogged with a buildup of a wide variety of debris. 

Drain clogs are often caused by: 

• Food scraps 
• Hair 
• Oil and grease
• Soap scum
• Cosmetics and beauty products 
• Small items dropped down the drain 
• A buildup of mineral deposits inside the pipe 
• Flushing things that shouldn’t be flushed 
• Tree roots growing into a sewer line 

A clog can form anywhere in the drain or sewer line. Generally, clogs form slowly as debris builds up inside the drainpipe. This will cause the water to drain slower than normal until it eventually gets big enough to completely clog the drain. If you have trouble with a single drain, the clog is probably in that drain. When all your drains are affected, the clog is most likely in the main sewer line. 

A clog in the main sewer line will cause signs such as: 

• Slow drains throughout the house 
• Clogs in multiple drains 
• Recurring clogs 
• Gurgling sounds in toilets 
• Wastewater backing up into the house 
• Sewage odors 
• Puddles in the yard 

Drain and sewer line clogs only get bigger with time. If you have a problem with one or more drains, it is important to call for sewer and drain cleaning in Meridian as soon as possible to prevent an even larger and more difficult problem. A professional plumber is best equipped to clear the clog using methods that are effective and safe for your plumbing. 

In addition to clearing the clog in your drain or sewer line, your plumber can provide valuable advice for preventing future clogs. Be mindful of what is being put down the drains and take steps to minimize the amount of debris in the drainpipe. You can use hair strainers in tubs and showers to prevent hair clogs and avoid putting grease, fats, or oil down the kitchen drain.
