You Can Help Prevent Sewer Backups
Sewer backups are both destructive and unpleasant. As a customer you can do many things to prevent your line from backing up. Remember too, that the very same things can help prevent backups in the main sewer line as well.
If everyone would be careful about the ways they dispose of certain products our system would be more efficient, cause fewer backups, cost less money, and prevent the inconvenience to you.
More often than not, the cause of a backup in your sewer line is from items that the line is not meant to handle, such as kid’s toys, towels, diapers, paper products (other than toilet paper), keys and even false teeth. To avoid flushing these items, remember to close the toilet lid. What you flush down your toilet may not affect you, but it might cause problems for your neighbors!
Subjects that will help you avoid a sewer backup:
Grease can enter the sewer at virtually any point, including your kitchen sink. You might think that it can’t do any harm to allow a small amount of grease to go down the drain as you are cleaning up, especially if you rinse with very hot water. But hot water cools quickly, and so does hot grease. When it cools, it solidifies. Imagine that tiny amount of grease that slips down your drain multiplied several thousand times solidifying as it cools, sticking to the insides of sewer pipes, trapping food particles and all kinds of other debris in the wastewater. Over time, this messy mass can grow until the flow of water is obstructed and sewage begins to back up.
