Sewage Backup and How to Prevent It It can be a disaster when you have a problem with sewage drainage. A backed-up sewage pipe can leave your home unsanitary and uninhabitable. Excess water can damage your home’s structure and furnishings. By knowing what to do and what not to do, you might prevent a backup, which can save you thousands of dollars! One way to prevent sewage backups is to never flush anything other than what is intended to go down a drainpipe: water, human waste, and toilet paper. What shouldn’t you flush or drop down a drain? Feminine hygiene products, “flushable” wipes (they really aren’t), facial tissues, paper towels, dental floss, food, coffee grounds, grease, oil, or cotton balls. All of these can cause blockages—as well as misery and money! Other causes of backups may not be your fault. If your yard settles in one area, your pipe could develop a bulge, causing fluids to pool there. Or roots growing in a drainpipe can cause backups. Also, as pipes age, they can develop cracks and breaks. Improper pipe installation also causes drain backups. For drainpipe backups you can’t handle on your own, you need the help of a competent, well-trained plumber. And that’s Rocketman Plumbing!
