Sewer Line Plumbing

Running along water supply lines inside buildings are bigger pipes that constitute the drain, waste, vent - or DWV - system. From within the house DWV pipes carry human waste, gray water and used toilet paper to a sewer lateral and into a sanitary sewer line. A 6-inch underground sewer lateral pipe connects your LA home with the sanitary sewer. Also known as a foul sewer – a sanitary sewer is an underground carriage network transporting wastewater to the main sewage treatment facility.

All waste lines and drain pipes slope downwards, which means that waste matter is pulled down by the force of gravity and carried to the sewer line or septic tank.

The main sewer line could be prone to leaks and clogs, leading to an array of problems from distinctive unpleasant odors to sewer backups. Installing PVC lining reduces the chance of leaks within the sewer line. Further still, regular sewer inspections work to reduce possibilities of costly complications within pipelines.

Blocked sewer lines can be caused by tree root intrusion. If roots create an obtrusion, try flushing out the line with a garden hose. If that doesn't work, your professional Plumbers Los Angeles can help out using a strong power auger.

It's recommended that you ask the plumber for professional advice on how to prevent roots from growing back; chemical solutions like copper sulfate may be an effective solution.
