Sewer and drain FAQ
What causes a clogged drain line?
- Over time, hair, soap scum, grease, food scraps, and other debris can build up in the pipes, leading to a gradual blockage.
- Using the garbage disposal incorrectly can also introduce large food particles that can cause clogs.
- Flushing items like wipes, paper towels, and even certain hygiene products can solidify in the pipes and cause blockages.
- Using the toilet drain as a "garbage can" will clog a sewer drain line! Only toilet paper should go down the toilets.
How to know if drain is clogged?
- Slow drainage is one of the most obvious signs. Water takes an unusually long time to drain, even if it does drain at all.
- You might also notice gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the drain.
- A bad smell or foul odor. A persistent unpleasant odor coming from the drain, often described as a sewage smell, is a sign of a buildup of organic matter or debris.
- Water backing up: Water may begin to pool or back up into the sink, tub, or shower instead of draining properly.
- Changes in water pressure: A sudden decrease in water pressure, especially in the faucet or shower, could be related to a blocked drain.
- Visible blockage: You might be able to see debris or obstructions in the drain itself.

How to clean a clogged main sewer line?
There are two ways a plumber will decide to clean out a main sewer line clog:
- Common drain plunger can work for dislodging a clog near the drain opening. Plungers and bladders use air or water pressure to force clogs out.
- Rooter drain snake, auger - The most common way to unclog a drain, a snake uses different rotating attachment heads to loosen and remove obstructions in the line. There is a handheld snake or wiggle stick and a powerful motorized drain rod.
- Hydro-jetting - This method uses high-pressure water to clear out a line.
-
Liquid drain cleaner can damage the toilet: The caustic chemicals in drain cleaners can react with the toilet's porcelain, generating heat that can cause cracking.
What is a drain or main drain house clean-out?
A main drain house clean-out is a pipe that is located outside of the home. They appear to be a capped pipe sticking up out of the ground about 4 - 6 inches. The clean-outs provide access to your main sewer line and will be accessed if your line is clogged. To learn more or to schedule a plumbing service, contact the experts at PDM today!
