A well-functioning sewer line is crucial for the health and hygiene of any household. Regular maintenance can proactively prevent sewer line backups, overflows, and other unpleasant surprises.
How do you fix a backed-up sewer drain?
When a sewer drain backs up, it's essential to act swiftly to prevent further damage or contamination. Here are some steps to follow:
*
Locate the Backup: Determine which drain is causing the backup by checking all drains in the house.
*
Call a Professional: If the backup is severe or cannot be resolved with simple methods, contact a professional sewage cleanup service immediately.
*
Use a Drain Snake: A drain snake can be used to clear blockages in some cases. Insert the snake into the drain and slowly rotate it while pushing it down.
*
Check Toilets for Blockages: Toilets are the most common source of sewer backups. Check for any objects or debris blocking the toilet's trapway.
*
Pour Baking Soda and Vinegar: A mixture of baking soda and vinegar can dissolve minor blockages. Pour half a cup of baking soda into the drain, followed by half a cup of vinegar. Let it sit for several hours and then flush with hot water.
