How to Prevent Sewer Pipes from Clogging Up.

At Norhio Plumbing, most clogged drain and toilet issues are very-to-relatively simple to resolve. That’s what extensive training and years of experience can accomplish.

But every now and then, we’re presented with a real challenge – the kind that no plunger, snake, or mechanical auger can touch. These are underground Prevent Sewer Clogs , the kind that most often can be prevented.

So yes, if that problem should befall you, we’ll accurately diagnosis it – keep in mind, however, that sewer cleaning and repair can be costly. That’s why preventive measures are always the best solution.

Here are just a few we encourage you to faithfully practice:

• Don’t flush “flushable wipes”– the only truly biodegradable product is toilet paper
• Consider replacing your toilet seat with a bidet seat – one of many benefits is reduced reliance on toilet paper
• Don’t flush foreign objects down the toilet, such as toys, cigarette butts, paper towels, and hair – they’ll get stuck to the inside pipe walls and, over time, form a considerable obstruction
• Before planting new trees or shrubs on your property, locate your underground sewer lines so you can keep the greenery a safe distance away. Otherwise, you’re inviting root invasion as roots can penetrate sewer pipes and cause a complete stoppage of waste and water flow.

Here are two more bits of advice.

• Contact Norhio Plumbing to have your drains treated with an organic compound that helps prevent root invasion while killing roots that already have worked their way inside. These compounds will not harm the shrubbery.
• Keep fats, oil, and grease (FOG) out of your drains, too, even if they’re in liquid form. It won’t take long before they solidify and start creating an obstruction of their own.

Norhio Plumbing to the Rescue

Try as you might, not all sewer problems can be prevented. Connections can separate, for example, which then require pipe repair or replacement. Or, metal and clay pipes can erode to the point that they form cracks, with or without root invasion.

If you have chronic blocked drain or toilet problems, contact Norhio Plumbing today. We’ll get the job done for you – with your satisfaction guaranteed.
