Mississauga Sewer Cleaning Services

It's quite common for a drain problem to start out small—maybe almost unnoticeable—and worsen incrementally over time until it's a major plumbing problem and your house is at risk of serious issues such as moisture incursion or even structural instability from water damage such as wood rot. Or much worse, you have a sewer backup and have to deal with a horrible, unsanitary flood of raw sewage.

Even if it never comes to that worst-case scenario, it's still good to get smaller issues inspected and fixed to keep your plumbing system working smoothly so you can avoid stress and hassle. Here are some of the indications that you need Mississauga sewer cleaning services:

• Water is slow to move out of fixtures because drains are blocked up
• Gurgling, grinding, sucking, squeaking or banging sounds coming from sewer lines
• Gross odors from sewer pipes, such as rotting food, musty odors or sewage smells
• More than one of your fixtures clogs frequently without any obvious reason
• There's sewage backing up in fixtures close to the ground such as a basement shower or floor drains
• Water bubbles out of the drain in one side of a double sink when you're using the opposite side
• Flies or gnats hovering around sinks and floor drains
• Patches of grass that look more lush and bright green than the surrounding lawn.

In our years of professional plumbing experience, we've noticed that there's a wide variety of causes that require Mississauga sewer cleaning—and the majority of them relate back to people rinsing or flushing foreign objects into their sewer lines that really don't belong there. As a result, the cause of the problem has a lot to do with where in your house it originated.

Here are some of items and substances that can lead to major problems and an appointment with your local plumber for Mississauga sewer cleaning:

• Kitchen Sink: The biggest issues in a kitchen that make sewer cleaning necessary are fat, oil and grease. That liquified grease coats the pipe walls and quickly solidifies into a sticky substance that will hold on to other stuff like food particles and form a difficult-to-handle clog. With a garbage disposal, you can get away with tossing some food waste and scraps down your drain, but it's important to avoid certain things like egg shells and rice that can fall past the blades of the disposal or turn into a sand-like substance.
• Bathroom Drains: Toilets are typically clogged up by stuff that shouldn't have been flushed, like "flushable" wipes, hygiene products, cotton swabs, paper towel and anything else that isn't toilet paper or human waste. But hair is the number one problem for shower and tub drains. It gets tangled up in a big clump with soap scum and other things, but most of it can be kept out of drains with a simple drain cover for catching hair.
• Sewer Line Clogs: Sometimes the issue really doesn't have anything to do with what's gone down your drains. Parts of your sewer system are buried underground, which makes the lines vulnerable to problems like tree root blockages. That's when small roots wrap around the buried lines, and as they grow, they put more and more pressure on the pipe until it cracks open. When the roots come into contact with wastewater, they grow rapidly and can fill entire sections of drain lines.

That's going to vary based on the size of your household and how frequently you use your system, but most local plumbers agree that annual Mississauga sewer cleaning is adequate for typical households to prevent serious problems and keep your wastewater disposal system in great shape.

One possible exception is if your home (and plumbing system) are several decades old. If it's been more than 40 years since your last pipe replacement, it's not a bad idea to get sewer cleaning services twice per year.
