When Should You Call An Einstein Pros Plumber For Your Sewer Repair?

Here are seven obvious signs that point to possible sewer damage:

All your drains are backing up at once.

If you try to flush the toilet and the toilet, sink, flusher spits up water; there’s a clog in the main pipe somewhere.

Weird things are happening when you use your toilet.

When there’s bubbling, gurgling sounds when you flush your toilet.

Your lawns start to change.

Dents in your backyard may show a break in the line or a sagging pipe. Soaked patches or extra green, lush patches mean sewage is presumably coming up from the pipes below and pollinating your lawn.

It smells.

If it smells like sewage, it’s probably sewage.

You’re growing mold.

Leaking sewage pipes means dampness in places you don’t want moisture. This can cause fungi and mold to grow in seemingly strange areas of your home. If you notice a mold spot, look for other signs of sewer damage.

Your drains are slow.

If your drainage is too slow to drain or doesn’t show any blockage, but the water is hard to flow. Don’t use chemical drain cleaners, which can ultimately make the situation much worse by corroding your pipes. Try natural alternatives or calling in the pros. It’s worth it!

You have a pest infestation.

Remember the sewer rats? If you start seeing an indication of a rodent infestation, they might be coming in from your sewage pipes. These pests are great at finding little cracks to wiggle through, especially underground where your sewer pipes are! Some people would attempt to DIY to fix their sewer damage, “please give a call first!” We always want our Einstein Pros customers to be safe.

Three main types of sewer repairs services

  • Rooter service – They use strong water pressure and private side sewers using water to unclog the blockages. They might repair or replace your side sewers.
  • Side sewer contractors – Some plumbers might unclog pipes, but a registered side contractor must be the one to operate within the public right-of-way.
  • Plumbers – They repair broken fixtures and install the system in new construction and remodeling. If some features are leaking or not draining, they will repair it instead.

Choosing A Sewer Repair Services in Seattle Washington

It is essential to select a contractor that has the knowledge and correct expertise in the field.

Most companies offer a full variety of services, including unblocking, fixing, and replacing sewer lines or pipelines, but often some companies practice only in certain areas in Seattle. Einstein Pros provides sewer repair services throughout Seattle, Washington, and surrounding areas.

What Do Sewage Systems Consist Of?

  • Piping – The pipes are used to get the wastewater from your home to the septic tank.
  • Septic Tank – Tank is made from fiberglass, concrete, or polythene, and it is placed underground to ensure durability. A T-shaped outlet and some compartments stop sludge and scum from flowing out of the tank and into the drain field. A screen mesh can be utilized for the same purpose.
  • Drain field – After wastewater flows out of the septic tank, it goes into the drain field. The water is treated by the soil there, and this process is carried out each time there is new water in the septic tank. If the drain field gets overloaded, wastewater will flow into the ground. It is recommended to have a backup drain field in the case of such an event.
  • Soil – From the drain field, wastewater enters the soil. Soil consists of microbes that are important for the treatment of wastewater. These microbes help remove contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, or harmful nutrients from the wastewater by digesting them. This process is necessary before wastewater reaches the ground.

Different Types of Sewage Systems

Combined System

It used to carry sanitary sewage and stormwater through one sewer system. Handling the wastewater is easy since it has been diluted by rainwater. If there is an immense amount of sewage, the water has a high velocity.

Due to the high speed of the water, it can do self-cleaning, and there’s no need for flushing. The combined system is stable and cheap to perform, particularly within house plumbing, since it only requires a single piping set.

Separate system

The separate system has different sewers for storm and surface water, while there is the same sewer system for domestic and industrial sewage.

This type is less pricey than the other types because it only requires less water for treatment, and it’s economical either. Another advantage of this system is that it doesn’t affect stream pollution.

Common reasons for damaged sewer in Seattle

Tree Roots

Tree roots are the most obvious cause of dilemmas with your sewer lines. Tree roots are much attracted to the compost or the rust that the pipe produces in the wastewater.

As the roots are trying to grow around the pipes to get those nutrients, they impact the pipe that builds fissures big and small. Tree roots have been known to crash or fill whole sewer lines. Even if you think you do not have any trees in your backyard, your neighbor’s tree could easily become your plumbing nightmare.

Physical Obstructions

Clogs are one of the top physical causes of sewer damages. Thus, “your toilet is not a trash bin.” Plumbers have pulled all sorts of trash out of sewer pipes like disposable napkins, diapers, tissue paper, toys, and the likes at one time. All of these can start the blockages in your pipes.

Even if you take care of your pipes, specks of dirt such as debris, hair strands, and shampoo sachets can create barriers in your sewer lines over time.

Rodents

We hope that sewer pests like rats were more like Remy from Ratatouille than Ratigan from The Greatest Mouse Detective (unbarred some deep childhood memories there.) Unluckily, burrowing rodents are an archenemy of sewer lines.

They slacken joints, turn small cracks into big cracks, and use pipes as a birthing nest to propagate.

Normal Wear and Tear

Time is not to your pipes advantage. Prevailing corrosion and sediment build-ups can generate leaks and blockages. Natural soil flow erosion over time causes sagging sewer lines, becoming an issue when the low spots create repeat blockages, fractures, or leaks.

Consistent monitoring and maintenance can lessen the impact, but basically, sewer pipes have a shorter lifespan than your sewage needs.

Importance of Sewer Repair in Seattle

  • Stop Slow Drains -If there are no cloggings, the water will flow perfectly. No time spent waiting for the water to be drained and sometimes it’s a hassle for most of us. This must not seem a big deal but it can be a constant annoyance. In addition, the excess water makes your house attractive to moisture loving-pests. With a sewer line repair, your pipes will be free and clear. As quickly as the water comes out of your faucet, it will go down your drain. An effective drain is oddly satisfying.
  • Stop Bad Smells – Once you repair your line, you won’t encounter a sewage smell in your bathroom. Instead of pooling near your drains, the water will travel through your plumbing system. The smell will go away, and you can use your bathroom without squeezing your nose.
  • Keep Your Family Safe – Sewer lines transport toxic waste. In addition to being offensive, that waste is hazardous to your health. If your sewer issues are so bad that toxic water is withdrawing in your bathroom, your health is at risk. Sewage water contains bacteria, parasites, and fungi. If you or a family member has exposure to sewage water, you could experience any number of issues. Common symptoms of exposure include diarrhea, cramps, and headaches. The longer you wait to repair your sewer, the worse the problem will become. If you want to protect your family from sewage, you need an emergency sewer repair in Seattle Washington.
