When your sewer system fails, it’s more than just an inconvenience—it’s a health hazard and potential disaster for your home. Due to our harsh winters and aging infrastructure, Edmonton homeowners face unique sewer challenges.
Common Causes of Sewer Problems in Edmonton
When it comes to sewer repair problems, we’ve seen it all. Here are some of the most common issues that Edmontonians deal with:
- Frozen sewer lines: Edmonton’s freezing temperatures can cause water in sewer lines to freeze and expand, creating blockages or pipe damage
- Tree root intrusion: Roots from city trees and landscaping seek out moisture in sewer lines, growing through small cracks and eventually blocking or damaging pipes
- Aging pipes: Older homes often have clay or cast iron pipes that deteriorate over time, leading to collapsed or broken sewer lines
- City sewer main blockages: Sometimes the problem originates in municipal sewer systems rather than your home’s private lines
- Grease buildup: Cooking oils and fats solidify in pipes, creating stubborn blockages over time
- Flushing non-flushables: Items like wipes, diapers, and paper towels accumulate in sewer lines, eventually causing major backups
When to Call a Professional
Recognizing early warning signs of sewer problems can save you thousands in repair costs and prevent sewage from backing up into your home. Weiss Johnson’s certified technicians recommend calling for professional help when you notice these problems:
- Your toilet won’t flush properly, even after plunging
- Multiple drains throughout your home are backing up simultaneously.
- Sewage odours are coming from the drains or your basement.
- Bubbling sounds when you flush toilets or drain sinks.
