From our past experiences that Rodgers Plumbing has dealt with it sounds like you have a serious blockage in your main sewer and septic line. If this is the case unfortunately you are beyond the point where a drain snake and cleaning product can resolve your issue. We suggest calling one of our Rodgers Plumbers for an effective drain cleaning service.

The water is coming in from the outside and it is coming in from the city sewer line or the septic system. City sewer lines can become clogged with debris and greases which causes the water to come in to your home through basement drain pipes, sinks, toilets and shower drains. Sewers can back up during heavy rain storms when the water runoff fills the pipes to capacity causing them to overflow. Water in your basement can lead to damaged walls, floors, carpeting and furniture causing mold to form. In order to keep your drain lines clear you can install back flow preventers that help prevent storm water flowing into your house. It is best to call one of our Rodger Plumbers experts to examine the cause of the backup.

A garbage disposal is a machine used to shred foods and waste into small pieces. Absolutely do not place glass, plastic or metal non food supplies down the disposal. Rodger Plumbing suggests running cold water to dispose the waste down the drain regularly to keep it clean. Hot water should not be used because it can dissolve fats and greases. Stay away from placing chicken bones, eggshells, stringy vegetables, pasta, fruit pits, shrimp shells, banana and potato peels down your garbage disposal.

A plumbing snake is used to remove debris that is hard to reach. The plumbing snake is reserved for difficult clogs that cannot be taken care by the use of a plunger. Drain snakes come in different shapes in sizes according to the clog you are experiencing. A toilet auger is a snake made especially for a blockage in a toilet. Top snakes are mostly used for bathtubs, shower drain blockages and occasionally the kitchen sink. Depending on how bad the drain is clogged, sometimes snake drains can be tough to work with. A snake drain is successful when it is inserted in the hole and maneuvered through the clog until water can pass through.

There are numerous reasons a drain can clog. When your kitchen sink is clogged usually that stems from the buildup from greases, soaps and food particles. A bathroom sink drain can clog from hair, toothpaste and soaps, as well as the bathtub and shower drains. Also your toilet drains can get overwhelmed with the amount of toilet paper being used. Rodgers Plumbing suggests not flushing, napkins, paper towels, floss, hair, medicine, diapers, and feminine products down your toilet.

Being suspicious and aware of the possibility of a clogged drain early on will cause you less stress and money. Our Rodgers Plumbing experts suggest looking to see if your toilet water bubbles when the sink is running. Also beware if the water in your sink begins to backup and if water begins to drain slowly from your bathtub and sink. If you try to flush your toilet and the water level in the bowl is not the same as before that usually is another sign of a clogged drain. Another reason to be suspicious of a clogged drain is the releasing of a nasty odor equivalent to the smell of rotting food.
