Blocked & Clogged Drain in Toronto?

 

Preventing Sewer Backup Contamination Now!

 

Preventing Sewer Backup: There are many different problems that could cause your sewer system to end up compromised and cause a major overflow in your home.  For example, if your area received a large influx of rain in a short period of time, it can cause the runoff to overwhelm the sewer lines and result in a sewer backup.

 

Common Contributors to Sewer Backup in Toronto!

 

One of the best ways of preventing sewer backup is to know why they happen.

A very common mistake that people make is pouring grease down the sink. This is one of the easiest ways to clog your drains up and cause the sewer line to backup.

On the other end of common plumbing problems is the toilet.  It can be easy to assume that it will take a lot of toilet paper alone to clog a toilet and cause a sewer blockage, but it’s all a matter of timing, where the pipe bends is where most clogging points happen.  Paper towels and baby wipes can cause a clog all on their own.

This is why sometimes a simple plunger won’t work and you have to go out and get a pipe snaking tool.  Some people use Liquid drainage solutions but many highly discourage the use of these as they are very toxic products that destroy our water table and any wildlife that comes into contact with it due to runoff.

One other common, but less obvious cause of sewer backup in Toronto especially is pipe breakage from trees and shrubs that extend their roots across their paths.  This can catch owners off-guard and result in a devastating situation if they do not have a sewer backup insurance plan.

 

Get Proactive on Preventing Sewer Backup in Toronto!

 

One way to prevent having to deal with any exposure of sewage water in the event of a sewer backup is to install a backflow valve.  This can afford you the time needed to call a plumber to fix the cause of the problem without getting caught with a flooded basement and no time to react.

Being aware of how old your pipes are in your home and around your property can help prevent the aforementioned plant root encroachment.  It’s probably a good idea to replace any old lead pipes with PVC for both health and safety reasons.

 

Better Safe than Sorry!

 

Lastly, having a good drainage plan in-place can cover preventing sewer backup scenarios.  Survey your downspouts to make sure that they are properly directing water out, not just finding a wedge for water to go.  The same goes for making sure your elevation around the home is not just allowing heavy rains to collect along the perimeter of your property.

 

If you do ever experience a sewer backup and/or basement flood, never try to go in and fix the sewer problem yourself, if you don’t know exactly how it happened.  Risking your health to try to save money on the clean-up is not worth it.  Sewage water is carrying more than your typical flora of bacteria and viruses as found on the surfaces of your bathroom or kitchen counters.
