An Ounce Of Prevention...
One of the most common causes of clogged or back-up drains is the accumulation of non-flushable items, such as:
Paper Towels Baby Wipes Feminine Hygiene Products Tissues Cat Litter Toys (Some kids think flushing them is fun!)
Ultimately the only thing that should get flushed into your plumbing is toilet paper, as it's designed to disintegrate. Even wipes labeled as "flushable" really aren't! But if you get past the point of prevention, we're here to help.

Putting things down the drain that should not go will clog a sewer drain line! Only toilet paper should go down the toilets.
You can tell if the sewer line is clogged a few different ways:
- Backed up drains in your home.
- Drainage in sewer clean out pipe.
- Water backs up in shower when toilet flushes.
If you think you have a sewer line clog, we can help. Contact PDM Plumbing today for professional services guaranteed to get your home back up and running soon!
There are two ways a plumber will decide to clean out a main sewer line clog:
- Snake - The most common way to unclog a drain, a snake uses different rotating attachment heads to loosen and remove obstructions in the line.
- Hydro-Jetting - This method uses high-pressured water to completely clear out a line.
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!
