Gurgling, smelly or slow drains? Call us now to prevent a costly backup in your sewer line.
HOW HEAVY RAIN CAN CAUSE SEWER BACKUPS:
When there are heavy rains or rapid snowmelt, an abundance of water and debris end up in municipal sanitary sewers, which overloads the sewer system.
Risks can be mitigated by being aware of the early warning signs. An effective sewer drainage system relies on these signs.
Awful Smells - Your drains might smell unpleasant if there is a sewer backup. An odor is caused by a lack of free movement of wastewater in your pipes.
Standing Water Around Floor Drains - Most basements, laundry rooms, and attached garages have floor drains. If you have these drains, sewer lines often back up into these areas before backing up into your toilets. Water accumulating at these drains is a good indication that wastewater isn't freely flowing and is backing up.
Gurgling Noises - The gurgling sound might be a sign of a slow drain, as you may be aware. If you hear a toilet gurgling or bubbling while using an appliance, such as the washing machine, you may have a backup in the main sewer line.
