The Most Common Reason For Sewer Cleaning

If you need sewer cleaning for your plumbing system, you might be among the people experiencing a blockage in your lateral line. According to the Department of Transportation in San Jose, California, a blockage in your lateral line is the most common reason people have back-up problems with their plumbing system. Toilets get clogged, drains get backed-up.

There are two main parts to a sewage system - the main line and the lateral line. The main line carries your sewage to the treatment plant, while the lateral line runs from your home to the main line. Things like seafood shells and grease can clog up a lateral line, so avoid throwing them down your drain. In addition, tree roots can also enter and break the pipe of a lateral line.
