A sewer line is the primary drain that carries householdwaste to a septic tank. If the sewer line becomes clogged,then the waste may back up into your sinks and toilets.

Sewer Line Clogs

• Debris formed by flushing sanitary napkins, food and otherwaste can clog a sewer line.

• Tree roots can grow large, and block a sewer line. Eventuallydebris collects over this area, which worsens the problem.

Diagnosing the Sewer Line Problems

Miniature Camera

• It is possible to inspect inside a sewer pipe using a miniaturecamera. This can reveal the location of the clog.

Sink Auger

• The professionals use a tool similar to a sink auger, but it ispower assisted and clears sewer blockages.

• Sewer line clogs are also removed using jets of high pressurewater to wash away debris.

Copper Sulphate

• Flush copper sulphate down the toilet to kill tree roots.

• The roots eventually decompose, but it may take weeks ormonths for them to wash away.
