Main Sewer Line Cleaning

Gurgling toilets, a backed-up floor drain, or slow drains that return weeks after plunging often point to a blockage in the main sewer line of a Waterbury, CT home. The city names fat, oil and grease from homes and restaurants as a common cause of backups.

How a main sewer line is cleared
The plumber normally works through the cleanout, sending in a cable machine with a cutting blade to chew through roots and buildup, or a water jetter that strips grease from pipe walls. A camera pass then checks for damage.

Why waiting makes it worse
In Waterbury, 52.9% of homes sit in buildings with two or more units, so one blocked main can back up into every apartment's lowest drain. Avoid chemical openers on a main line clog and tell the plumber what was used.
