COMMON CAUSES OF SEWER LINE PROBLEMS
There are several common sources of sewer line clogs, backups, and blockages in Cornelius, including:
- Grease, Fat, and Oil Buildup: This slick gunk sticks to pipe walls over time and traps other debris flowing down drains. Kitchen sink drains are especially prone to grease clogs.
- Intruding Tree Roots: Root systems from shrubs or trees planted too close to sewer lines can grow inside pipes seeking water. The roots jam up the line and are difficult to remove.
- Toilet Paper and Other Solids: Older plumbing may have pipes too narrow for the amount of toilet paper and solid waste flowing through. Materials can snag and collect other debris.
- Collapsed or Broken Pipes: If sewer pipes crack, collapse inward, or become misaligned, they block the flow of wastewater and cause backups.
- Foreign Objects: It’s surprising what gets flushed or washed down drains! Sewer lines frequently get clogged by toys, wipes, feminine products, and other items that won’t break down.
Many homeowners try DIY sewer cleaning solutions like liquid drain cleaners, metal snakes, and pressure washers when they notice gurgling sink or tub drains, overflowing toilets, or slow flushing. However, these are only temporary fixes for one small section of your sewer line system. The clog or blockage will likely recur unless the entire line is properly power-flushed and inspected by a professional Cornelius plumber.

Ultimate Plumbing’s sewer services include:
- High-Pressure Water Jetting: Powerful sewer jetting equipment blasts away grease, soap buildup, tree roots, and other debris clogging the line. It leaves pipes clean and flowing freely.
- Drain Snake Auguring: For smaller clogs closer to foundations or main sewer connections, we can send a rotating augur down the line to break up and extract the blockage.
- Video Camera Line Inspection: Special sewer cameras help identify the exact location and causes of recurring sewer clogs or backups by inspecting the length of underground sewer pipes.
- Spot Repairs: For isolated sections of the sewer line that are damaged or infiltrated by roots, we can repair just that portion without a full replacement.
- Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement: This is a cost-effective way to replace sewer pipes without major landscape disruption. The pipes are pulverized, and new liners are put in place with minimal digging.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE PROBLEM IS IN MY MAIN SEWER LINE?
If all the drains in your home are sluggish or backed up, including toilets, showers, tubs, and sinks, the clog is likely in your main sewer line to the city connection. Plumbers can confirm the location with cameras.
HOW CAN I PREVENT FUTURE SEWER LINE PROBLEMS?
Avoid pouring grease down sinks, limit toilet paper usage, don’t flush wipes or other unbreakable items, and install screens to catch debris before entering pipes. Regular drain maintenance also helps.
WHAT ARE SOME COMMON SIGNS I MAY NEED SEWER LINE REPAIRS?
Slow drains, gurgling sounds from pipes, bad odors, and water backups are all signs of a potential sewer line problem. If you notice any of these issues, contact a licensed and insured plumber immediately for repair service.
HOW MUCH DO SEWER LINE REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS COST?
The cost of sewer repairs or replacements will vary depending on the type and extent of the repairs needed. Your plumber will provide a fair quote after diagnosing the specific problem.
