Causes of Your Kenmore Sewer Backups:
Sewer backups can be a messy and frustrating problem. There are a variety of causes, but most can be summed up in two categories: blockages and overflow.
Blockages: They can be caused by a variety of things, but the most common is tree roots. Shrubs and trees seeking moisture can make their way into sewer line cracks causing extensive damage. They may start out small, getting into a small crack in the pipe; but as the tree or shrub continues to grow, so does the root. Tree roots can enter the service pipe at joints and cause blockages. They can also travel a long way, and roots from different types of trees act differently. If you suspect that city trees are responsible for sewer line damage, your plumber can contact the city and samples of the roots will be used to help identify the trees and who is responsible for cleanup. Sometimes a blockage is the result of a combination of city and private trees. In this case costs are split between the city and property owner.
Grease buildup: Grease is a natural byproduct of cooking, and it often ends up down the drain. Over time, it can accumulate in the pipes and cause blockages. This is especially true if your home has a septic system rather than city sewer service. Septic systems rely on gravity to move waste water through the pipes to the tank or leach field. Grease buildup can prevent this from happening, leading to sewage backups into your home.
Overflow: This happens when too much wastewater accumulates in the pipes and there isn’t enough room for it all to flow through. This can be due to a variety of factors such as blocked drains, broken pipes, or even too much rainwater runoff entering the sewers.
If you experience a sewer backup, it’s important to take action right away to prevent further damage. The first step is to identify the source of the backup and take steps to address it. If it’s a blockage caused by tree roots, for example, you may need to have the tree trimmed or removed altogether. If it’s due to grease buildup, you may need to have your septic system cleaned out regularly.
If you experience a sewer backup, it’s also important to take steps to clean up any wastewater that may have entered your home. This includes cleaning affected surfaces and items with hot water and bleach, as well as disinfecting affected areas. It’s also important to dry out structures quickly so that mold doesn’t form.
