Detecting Clogs
Before you start to see a sewer back up in the yard or in your basement, there are several ways in which we utilize to see if there is a clog somewhere in the home. We rely on the way in which the house responds to water being flushed or used in any way. In fact, you will find that if you were to listen, chances are you’re going to know if you have a clog or not. Some of the signs of a clogged line somewhere include:
• Toilets are backing up no matter if it is just water that is being flushed
• You hear the drains in the bathroom or kitchen gurgling
• If the washer empties, you may also hear a gurgling noise
We utilize these signs as well as the latest technology to determine where the clog is and just what needs to be done to avoid you having water backed up into the yard or basement.
How Clogs Happen
The truth is that there could be several reasons why you are dealing with a clog at this point in time. For those who have an older home, it could be that the wear and tear throughout the years has resulting in a clog forming. Usually, old Cast Iron pipes can be to blame.
