Clogged Sewer Drain The back-up of sewage through the drains in your home or business is an unpleasant prospect. Fortunately, there are steps you  can take to protect your
property.First, an easy lesson in basic plumbing. Wastewater flows through small lines on your property to the larger, city or county lines in the street. From there the sewage travels by gravity or pressure to a water reclamation facility. The stream is constant, with peaks in the morning and evening. Each day millions of gallons of wastewater safely reaches the county�s seven facilities to be reclaimed and returned to the environment. Unfortunately, a blockage in the sewer line can interfere with this normally quiet, out-of-sight process. A blockage in the private or county line causes a back-up through floor drains and toilets at the lowest point in your home or business. The overflow will continue until the blockage is removed or until sewage is no longer entering the line. The Department of Public Works combines educational efforts with regular maintenance and investigative practices to prevent blockages. Customer information in the bills, public presentations, and school programs help our customers understand what can safely be disposed of down the drain. Call our Emergency Services Repair Line at (800) 201-5541, A Professional Technician will arrive to your location within 60 minutes and less depending on location. If the sewer cleanout is accessible, our technicians will be able to determine if the blockage is in the customer�s line or in the city or county line. If the blockage is in the homeowner's line, the technician will be able to break the blockage, ending the back-up. If there is not a cleanout, or if the cleanout cannot be located, you will need to have one installed to address the problem correctly. Discontinue inside water use. Anything which should not be in a sewer line has the potential of causing a blockage. For example: � Kitchen grease, disposable diapers, and sanitary napkins can accumulate and cause a blockage. � Tree roots seeking moisture can grow through cracks in the lines, causing a blockage.
