Ask to use a neighbors facilities if you must, but do not continue using water lines as the blockage will not permit waterflow and drainage and can continue to cause more damaging sewer line back-up.

You must make contact with Perma-Seal at 800-421-SEAL, and a crew will show up and find out if the problem exists in the homeowners' sewage lines or the cities. If the issue is a city sewer issue the team will be able to unblock the line, but if not you will have to pay the costs on your own. Either way, do not hang around while the issue will continue to get worse.

Several lifestyle suggestions will also assist in the prevention of sewer problems. The first is to be sensible about what you're putting down your drains. Don't flush or drain things such as diapers, fat, or paper goods since these merely contribute to blockage problems. Also be sure to consider the location of your sewer lines when planting new trees and shrubs or putting in any kind of landscaping. Plant roots are a common problem of pipe breaks which can be simply prevented by thinking through setups and plantings thoroughly.

It is also crucial that you know the location of your sewer clean-out. Although some older homes will not have a clean out set up, they are usually required and are the responsibility of the home owner to keep uncovered and easily accessible.
