I was working on a tub drain the other day and found a toy lodged inside the drain. This is a great reminder of why it’s important to use a drain cover in your tub.

This toy was restricting the flow and causing the water to back up during showers.

I recently installed a clean out for a customer due to a break in the sewer line. After getting down to the line, I found this root to be the issue.

This root grew right along the side of the pipe and over time it collapsed the clay tile line.

For size comparison, the clean out is 4 inch PVC.

If you do not have a clean out, give me a call at 217-254-8446

It’s not always roots and wipes causing issues. This customer tried to fix a drain line a while back and their cable broke off in the line. Now this started to cause bigger issues.

This is why it’s important to have a drain cover on the tub.

I had a customer call about a rubber toy that went down the drain after giving their child a bath. Due to the iron pipes, this was challenging to remove from the tub drain. After removing the toy, everything was draining properly.

I was working at a house the other day and pushed this large ball of roots to the man hole.

Luckily, this line tied directly into the man hole. Most often times, this is not the case.

After removing these roots, the line was open and flowing properly again.

It’s been a while since Geno and I worked together on a job, but last week I got the opportunity to do so again.

If it wasn’t for Geno, I would have never learned the tricks of the trade.

Sewer repaired and a clean out installed! This sewer line was broke due to a fiber optic cable. After finding this break, I was able to jet the sewer to remove any mud in the line that could cause another back up.

Just a reminder that even a small amount of wipes can clog a whole sewer line. Wipes do not break down over time like toilet paper and can catch on roots or offset joints.

I recently had a customer call stating their bathroom sinks have not been draining. After removing the trap, this is what I found.

Generally speaking, hair is a common issue for bathroom sinks. In this case, multiple objects fell down the drain since the drain plug was removed.

This is a little different than my typical posts. Recently, I have found a few septic tanks in town in mattoon. The home owners did not know that they had a septic tank until they had sewer issues. This is not very common, but can occasionally be found in certain areas of town.

If you have any sewer issues feel free to give me a call at 217-254-8446
