Getting back into the groove of things once the holiday season dies down can be tough. But die down it has. The decorations are down (a belated congratulations to the winners of the 2020 Holiday Lights Contest!), the wrapping paper discarded, and the workweek back to its regularly scheduled programming.
Hopefully you’re settling back into the groove well—and hopefully your plumbing is, too!
We understand that your sewer is probably not at the top of your mind when you’re celebrating the holidays, but this is actually a pretty common time to run into issues. We’ll talk about the reason for that below, as well as some other factors that can contribute to sewer line clogs.
Nobody really thinks about their sewer lines that frequently. Of course, they can’t help but think about their sewer lines when problems arise. If you do notice that there is a potential problem with your sewer line, it is always going to be in your best interest to resolve those problems as soon as possible.
When it comes to your plumbing, there are a few jobs you can do yourself. Plunging a shallow clog, for example. Swapping out a flapper at the bottom of your toilet, if you’re so inclined. When it gets more complicated than this, it’s time to call a professional plumber. And stubborn clogs can be a lot more complicated than you may realize. If that plunger isn’t cutting it, or if the problem isn’t specific to one drain/fixture, let us know.
Your plumbing system is something that you depend upon each and every day in your home. Because it is used so much and in so many different ways, you may take its operation for granted. Of course, those are also the exact reasons why you cannot afford to do so! A seemingly “simple” problem like clogged drains or a backed up toilet is all it takes to remind us of how vital our plumbing systems are, and the function of the drain and sewer side of the system specifically.
