Signs Your Storm and Sanitary Sewer Lines Require Cleaning
You might not be able to detect that your storm and sanitary sewer lines need cleaning. These components of your property’s plumbing and drainage system often send you signs to indicate trouble:
Regular clogging:
Clogging in your drains once in a while is normal. If clogging occurs regularly and in multiple drains, the chances are that there might be an issue with your sanitary sewer line.
Backup:
Regular backups in your drains after tasks like flushing your toilet are a clear indicator of the need for a sanitary sewer line clean.
Foul odours:
If foul odours are coming from the drains on your property, you should schedule a sanitary sewer line cleaning as soon as possible.
Water In The Yard:
If your yard has puddles of water or a spongy texture, the probability of a sanitary sewer or storm line issue is high.
If you notice any of these signs with the storm and sanitary sewer lines on your commercial property, we recommend setting up an appointment with us for a cleaning as soon as possible.

Tips for Cleaning Your Sewer Drain
Here are some tips for efficient sanitary and storm sewer line cleaning:
-
First, check for backflow of water in the mechanical room drain pipe and the basement area. These areas are often the first affected by the backup when clogs occur in the main sewage pipe.
-
Stop any water supply coming into your commercial property, especially from places producing large volumes like washing machines, dishwashers, and bathrooms.
-
To prevent the primary sewer backup, avoid flushing items like baby wipes, dental floss, paper towels, and sanitary napkins. All these objects can become trapped in tree roots or sag, causing a blockage in your main sewer line.
