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.

Diagnosing the Sewer Line Problems

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.
