subject: Sewer & Drains [print this page] Sewers & Drains Everything that goes in your waste disposal, toilets, sinks, and tubs all goes to the same place. The one place you dont want all that mess to go is inside your home. Sewer and drains make it so that waste is not kept on site at your residence. Your sewer line is the pipe running from your house to the city sewer at the street. Drain pipes are those that run under your house and catch your waste. Keeping your drain clean is never really on anyones mind until it is too late. Things to look out for: Slow draining Bad smells coming from the drain Returns of waste Accumulation of waste at drain opening If you are on a septic tank system, a clogged or stopped up drain could mean bigger problems. Septic tanks have to be pumped at least every 4 years. When they are full they can back up into your home. Another issue with septic systems is that the drain fields have a tendency to get clogged with roots. This can be a costyl fix because it has to be dug up and redone. There are drain-cleaning substances such as Drain-o, Bio-clean, and Rid-x. These products work very well on plumbing systems today. Do not use bleach on a drain system, especially a septic system. This kills all bacteria, even the beneficial bacteria that eats away at the waste. Most houses have a clean out access on the drain pipe. These cleanouts are used for servicing and snaking the drain. Plumbing Solutions, LLC offer these services at very reasonable prices.
