Clogged Drains
The cause of clogged drains can be as simple as a foreign object which accidentally entered the sewer line. While foreign object obstructions are most common in homes with young children or high volume public restrooms, what is commonly referred to as a clog could actually be a number of issues which create the same symptoms.
What Causes Clogs

Foreign Objects Residential sewer lines are typically 3" and 4" in diameter - making many items a potential foreign object if they were to accidentally enter your sewer line. Many foreign object obstructions can be cleared with basic rooter services. |

Roots In The Sewer Line The trees around your property are very efficient at doing what they naturally do best - seeking out and taping into moisture. Roots grow into your sewer line through the joints in between pipes seeking the plentiful moisture. As time goes on these roots grow, weakening the structure of the sewer pipe and eventually leading to a catastrophic failure. |

Sewer Line Bellies Leaks in sewer lines can develop due to misaligned joints or structural weakening due to tree roots, eventually leading to the erosion of the soil around the pipe. This erosion eventually leads to catastrophic failure of the line and resulting in symptoms that are similar to a clog. |
