Sewer & Drain Stoppages
There are many cause for pipes and sewer blockages, and while some are simple to detect and easy to prevent, some are hidden and can hardly ever be dectected before the damage occurs.

In home and office plumbing systems, the main cause is grease accumulation, hair, dirt or solid materials, such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, broken dishware, garbage, and debris that are too large for wastewater pipes to handle

1. Solid Flushes
The most common cause of sewage back up is a blockage of the lateral pipe between the home and the city sewer main. This is usually caused by baby wipes, paper towels and solid objects accidentally flushed down the drain.

The problem is usually a local blockage and when you experience it, only water from your home will be backing up and the amount of back up will depend on the amount of water you are using. If you stop running water they will slowly drain but the problem is likely to return as soon you start using water again.

2. Structural Defects In Sewer System
Different structural defects can develop over time and eventually cause a major damage to the drain system, leading to a serious over flow that will require a complete replacement of sewer lines.

Structural defects happen due to problems with sewer service lines such as pipe collapse, sags in the line, cracks, holes, protruding laterals, misaligned pipe and offset joints.

3. Root Infiltration
The roots are a major cause of back-ups. Tree roots can enter the service pipe at joints and travel a long way-causing blockage along the way. Tree roots can also create structural defects when they crack and break pipe as they grow.
