It’s never fun having your sewer clogged, and fixing by yourself is possible, but much easier when using the services of a professional and experienced sewer cleanout plumber, says San Diego clogged sewer plumber specialist Scott Thompson, who specializes in cleaning clogged sewers. “If you have ever had a sluggish or backed up sewer of drain, or looked in your bathtub after washing to find a ring of gunk, this is a sure sign that you have a blockage not too far from the drain,” says Scott.

“It might, however, be a partially clogged sewer line, and this could not only prove annoying, but can become downright dangerous if the stuff that's supposed to go down the sewer line starts backing up into your house,” he adds.

Unless you are a plumber, Scott advises that the best way to solve a clogged sewer main is to call in the plumbing experts.

Two of the main causes for sewer lines to blockage, according to Scott, include the following:
Sludge: Over time a layer of sludge can build up, especially if your drain does not have the proper slope. sewer lines drain by gravity and the pipe needs to run at a slight downhill angle. This is to allow all the things you send down it to flow where they're supposed to go.

Chemicals: Strong chemicals pour down your drain when trying to fix a clogged sewer line by yourself can cause blockage. These chemicals usually damage the sewer drain pipes used by home builders and these chemicals never seem to clear the clogged sewer anyway.

“There is a difference between clogged drain pipes and a clogged sewer line. Clogged drain pipes are easier to fix. Most times the obstruction in a clogged sewer is in the P trap found right under the sink or the S curve in a toilet before it goes into the floor,” Scott explains.

However, he was quick to note that a sewer line is larger than a sink or toilet drain pipe, which ranges in size from 1 ½” to 2” in diameter. Sewer lines, on the other hand, are much large and come in sizes 3” to 4” in diameter. “Therefore anything large enough to clog a sewer pipe is going to be way too big for hardware store chemicals to dissolve,” says Scott.

Unclogging a drain may be relatively easy to perform, but a clogged sewer needs a San Diego sewer cleanout service from a reputable company.

Scott finally points out that when looking for a plumbing company that specializes in unclogging sewer drains, San Diego residents should first seek out the services of SD Plumbing and Drain Service.
