Signs Your Backed Up Toilet Is Due to a Clogged Sewer Line

It can happen during the night, causing significant water damage to your home. The result is costly repairs, usually completed on an emergency basis.

This is why you should know how to identify the signs of a toilet backup in advance. Then, you can perform a preliminary check before calling the plumber and risking damage to your home. Luckily, there are some telltale signs you can observe before you pick up the phone. Here are some ideas.

Causes of a Clogged Sewer Line

First, it’s important to understand that backed-up toilets are usually caused by a clogged sewer line.

Wondering how to tell a sewer line is backed up? It might start from your own backyard. The most common cause of a sewer line clog is tree roots that have grown into the pipe and restricted the flow of water.

Other causes of clogged sewer lines include grease build-up, toilet paper, and foreign objects that have been flushed down the toilet.

Slow Draining Toilet

A slow-draining toilet can also be a sign of a clog. If you have a plunger, try using it to clear the clog. If that doesn’t work, you may need to call a plumber to clear the line.

Toilet Water Backs Up Into the Tub or Sink

The first thing to do is to check the P-trap under the sink to see if it is clogged. If the P-trap is clear, then the next thing to check is the main sewer line. If the main sewer line is clogged, you will need to call a plumber to clear the line and have drain cleaning services.

Toilet Overflows

A backup in your toilet is usually due to a clogged sewer line. When this happens, toilet overflows can occur.

To prevent this, it’s important to keep your sewer line clear. You can do this by regularly flushing it with a sewer line cleaner.

Unpleasant Odors

This can be a very unpleasant experience, as the odors can be extremely strong. In addition, the sewage can cause your toilet to back up into your home, presenting health hazards.

Frequent Plumbing Issues

This is a common problem that can be caused by a number of things, including tree roots, grease, and debris. If you have frequent plumbing issues, it’s important to have a professional inspect your sewer line to ensure there’s no damage or blockages.

Prevent a Clogged Sewer Line of Backed Up Toilet

A clogged sewer line can cause a backed-up toilet and an even bigger mess. To prevent this from happening, you should regularly check your sewer line for any blockages.

You can also use a drain snake to clear any obstructions in your sewer line. If you think your sewer line is becoming clogged, you should call a plumber to have it checked out.
