How Can You Minimize Sewer Backups in Lynnwood, WA?

Hydro-Jet-Drain-Cleaning-Apollo-Plumbing-Snohomish-Premiere-PlumbingOur customers often ask us how they can minimize the chances of sewer backups in their Lynnwood, WA homes. And this is a very good question to ask, since a home can’t be healthy unless its sewer is in perfectly good working order. Here’s what the master plumbers at Apollo Plumbing have to say on the topic.

Tips for Minimizing Sewer Backups in Lynnwood, WA

If your sewer is clogged, it will quite quickly cause a backup. This is a very unpleasant situation in which sewage—wastewater from your kitchen and bathrooms—can’t flow way in the direction it should, namely, to the municipal main sewer. Instead, when all of the pipes are full and the wastewater has nowhere else to go, it will start to come up through your toilets, sinks, bathtub drains, and shower drains.

Obviously, this is something you want to avoid at all costs. And while there’s no guarantee that you can avoid sewer backups completely, there are certain precautions you can take to minimize the chances of it happening.

Keep the following tips in mind:

  • Never flush bulky items down the toilet. Sanitary towels, diapers, and other personal hygiene items should never be flushed down the toilet.
  • Avoid flushing bulky items down the drain. In the kitchen, always use your garbage disposal to grind up organic waste before flushing it down the drain.
  • Clean all your drains regularly with commercial drain cleaner. Once a month, you should use a good drain cleaner to wash out your drains.
  • Have your drains and sewer cleaned professionally at least once a year. Schedule a maintenance call for your plumber to clean your sewer using hydrojetting. This involves cleaning the drain with a high pressure stream of water. After the cleaning, your plumber will inspect the drain with a special camera and alert you to any possible problems so you can take action in a timely manner.
