- Catch basin repair: A catch basin is an underground container covered by a grate that catches groundwater runoff. Our team can repair your catch basin and help prevent water damage to your home.
Signs You Need Professional Services
Due to their quiet, unassuming nature, drains and sewers needing service aren’t always obvious. Here are a few signs to look for that indicate professional service is necessary:
- Foul odors emanating from your drains or sewers
- Sewage backups
- Slow drains
- Pooling water or flooding
- Exceptionally lush spots in your lawn
- An increase in rodents and bugs
Common Causes of Drain & Sewer Clogs
Drain and sewer lines can get clogged and backed up for a wide range of reasons. Some of these reasons we have more control over than others, so familiarizing yourself with the causes of drain and sewer clogs can help you prevent them from happening again in the future. Common causes include:
- Grease, fats, and oils: After you’ve cooked a meal, don’t pour the grease down the sink. Grease, fats, and oils cool down and harden once they are in your pipes. This leads to buildup that can narrow your pipes and cause blockages.
- Hair buildup: When hair makes its way into your drain lines, it can get caught and create a blockage. Hair can also capture other things flowing in your pipes, so make sure to use drain screens to prevent this.
- Hard water: Hard water contains minerals that can build up over time and narrow your pipe walls. If you deal with hard water, consider a water softening system.
- Flushable wipes: Despite their name, “flushable” wipes should definitely not be flushed. They don’t break down in the way that toilet paper does and often lead to blockages in your sewer line.
- Tree roots: Tree roots naturally seek out nutrients, making your sewer line a popular destination. Tree roots can infiltrate your sewer line, causing it to crack and back up.
- Foreign objects: Small toys or other objects can get accidentally flushed down toilets or washed down drains, which can lead to a blockage that captures other items and builds up over time.
If you find yourself dealing with a clogged drain or sewer line for whatever reason, Goode Plumbing is here to help. Whether you need hydro jetting services or a sewer line repair, our plumbers will ensure your lines are flowing freely again.
