WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A CLOGGED SEWER LINE IN YOUR LOWCOUNTY HOME
If you have water backing up in your shower, slow-moving drains, or gurgling sounds in your plumbing, you likely have a clogged sewer line. While the problem may seem minor now, if you do not unclog the sewer line as soon as possible, you could have a more serious issue on your hands (such as a broken sewer pipe). Make sure you follow these steps as soon as you suspect there’s a blockage in the main sewer line:
- CLEAN THE AREA
Make sure you clean up any visible sewage and keep your family away from the contaminated area. Sewer water contains bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause serious health problems. - DON’T USE CHEMICAL CLEANERS
Chemical drain cleaners cannot unclog sewer lines and may make the problem worse. These cleaners are extremely caustic and can deteriorate piping materials. - TURN OFF YOUR WATER
This step protects your home from further damage. You don’t want to forget about the clog and try to flush an affected toilet. You’ll have a much bigger problem on your hands if you do. Therefore, turn off the water until a sewer repair technician in Charleston, SC, can clear the clog. - CONTACT A PLUMBER
Now it’s time to schedule a professional sewer line cleanout A plumber will perform a sewer video inspection to determine the type of clog and its location.

THE BENEFITS OF SEWER VIDEO INSPECTIONS
Not too long ago, technicians could only resolve plumbing problems by first performing expensive and damaging excavations. Now, thanks to modern technology, we can perform a simple inspection using a video camera. This allows us to find the problem without destroying your property or costing you an arm and a leg.
After snaking the fiber-optic camera through your sewer line and evaluating the condition of your pipes, our sewer repair technicians in Charleston, SC, will review the problem with you and go over the best solutions. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may recommend a trenchless sewer line repair, which involves fixing the broken pipe without digging up a large portion of your lawn.
