Tips for Cleaning Your Storm Sewer Drain

Here are some tips for efficient sanitary and storm sewer line cleaning:

First, check the mechanical room drainpipe and basement area for water backflow. When clogs occur in the main sewage pipe, these areas are often the first to be affected by the backup.
Stop any water supply coming into your commercial property, especially from places producing large volumes, such as washing machines, dishwashers, and bathrooms.
Avoid flushing items like baby wipes, dental floss, paper towels, and sanitary napkins to prevent the primary sewer backup. All these objects can become trapped in tree roots or sag, causing a blockage in your main sewer line.
