Over time toilet paper and other debris can clog up a sewer line as they get snagged on the tree roots that often infiltrate sewer lines. Flushing sanitary products, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues, paper towels, or even extra-thick toilet paper can severely clog up your sewer line over time. It is best to avoid flushing anything down your toilet other than toilet paper to avoid unnecessary sewer line clogs.

The answer to this question largely depends on the cause of the sewer line problem. Usually, homeowners insurance will only cover damages caused by “sudden and accidental” events such as fire, lightning, windstorms, and vandalism/theft. Sewer line damage that is caused by long-term deterioration or normal wear and tear is typically excluded. So, if the sewer line issue is due to something like tree roots growing into pipes or blockages caused by mineral build-up, insurance will likely not cover it.

The best way to prevent future issues with your sewer line is to have it inspected on a regular basis. Regular maintenance and cleaning can also help extend the life of your sewer pipes and reduce the risk of problems developing in the future. Additionally, ensuring that tree roots are not growing near the sewer lines can help keep them free from obstruction.

Yes, there are several considerations to take into account when completing sewer line repairs. It’s important to consider the size of the pipe, the material it is made from, and any potential obstructions that may need to be present. Additionally, some methods may require permits or special tools.
