A sewer line is the primary drain that carries household waste to a septic tank. If the sewer line becomes clogged, then the waste may back up into your sinks and toilets.
Sewer Line Clogs
• Debris formed by flushing sanitary napkins, food and other waste can clog a sewer line.
• Tree roots can grow large, and block a sewer line. Eventually debris collects over this area, which worsens the problem.
Miniature Camera
• It is possible to inspect inside a sewer pipe using a miniature camera. This can reveal the location of the clog.
Sink Auger
• The professionals use a tool similar to a sink auger, but it is power assisted and clears sewer blockages.
• Sewer line clogs are also removed using jets of high pressure water to wash away debris.
Copper Sulphate
• Professionals suggest using chemicals to control tree roots.• Flush copper sulphate down the toilet to kill tree roots. • The roots eventually decompose, but it may take weeks or
months for them to wash away. • This may not be allowed in some areas, as copper sulphate
can damage the useful decomposing bacteria in a septic system.
