Sewer Cleaning Services

Your sewer line is the pipe that extends from your home to the city sewer main, or to your septic tank if you use one of those instead. All waste that passes through your plumbing system will eventually leave your home through the sewer line. So, this is obviously a very important pipe.

You don’t want this pipe to fall into disrepair, for all sorts of reasons that we’ll cover further down the page. One of the best ways to maintain your sewer system is by having sewer cleaning done. Lutz Plumbing, Inc. offers comprehensive sewer cleaning services throughout Kansas City If you need to schedule sewer cleaning services, call us today for an appointment or schedule online.

Increase in Backups

There are a couple of ways that you can tell that your sewer line is in need of professional cleaning services. As a clog gets closer and closer to being completely formed, you may notice more and more backups happening in your home. They may subside over time, but the fact that they’re happening at all should be a warning sign that you need to call a professional.

Bad Odors

You should also be aware of bad smells that may start to rise out of the drains in your home. As the sewage backup becomes more severe, sewer gas will be forced back up through the system in large amounts. This will cause them to vent out of your drains. If multiple drains in your home smell like an open sewer, you probably need to schedule sewer cleaning services right away.

A main line clog might be unseen, but it can cause extensive damage inside a home. Most homeowners give little thought to these lines until there is a problem. Common red flags for a clogged main line include:

1. Water backing up out of a drain or the toilet plumbing inside the house
   
   
2. A gurgling sound coming from the drains
   
   
3. Toilet water is coming up into the bathtub shower or floor drain, along with gurgling in the toilet
   
   
4. Sometimes the backup will break the seal under the toilet, and water will show as a leak around the toilet
   
   
5. Slow-flowing drains
