Causes of a clogged sewer

Do you want to unclog your sewer? Then it is helpful to know what caused the sewer to become clogged. A clogged sewer can have a variety of causes. Possible causes of a clogged sewer are:

Blockages

Objects that accidentally end up in the sewer can cause a blockage. Examples include a complete toilet roll, a cell phone and children's toys. These types of objects are frequently found in sewer pipes when sewers are unblocked.

Using too much toilet paper

Using too much toilet paper can also cause a blockage. The large crumbs of paper no longer allow the water to flow properly, leading to blockages.

Improper use of the drain

Many clogs are also caused by improper use of the drain. Large amounts of food waste and grease residue are flushed down the drain daily. This is obviously not what the sewer is for, and this can result in a clogged drain.

Problems in sewer pipes

A shifted or broken sewer pipe can also be a cause of a sewer blockage. This can happen because tree roots puncture a sewer pipe. Ground subsidence can also lead to a shifted sewer pipe, causing a blockage.

Is your sewer clogged and you want to unclog it? You can count on us. Make an appointment by phone or online and our friendly technicians will unclog your sewer quickly and cleanly, so you have minimal inconvenience from your sewer problem.

Unclog sewers yourself or call in a specialist?

With a clogged sewer, the blockage is often deep in the sewer line. Therefore, unclogging a sewer yourself is often too complex and there is a good chance that you will damage the sewer line. In addition, unclogging the sewer takes quite some time, especially if you do not know the exact cause of the clog or do not have the right materials. Our technicians are always available and as experienced sewer experts, they will unclog the sewer in a safe, professional and responsible manner.

Unclog your own sewer system

Want to unclog your sewer yourself? Chances are the clog is too deep and you need an experienced plumber, but for minor clogs, there are a number of steps you can take to unclog the sewer yourself:

Unclog sewers with hot water and baking soda

For a small or incipient clog, you can pour hot water and baking soda down the drain. Baking soda is a natural cleaning salt that can loosen and dissolve caked-on residue on the inside of the drain. This can counteract an incipient clog.

Unclogging sewers with vinegar

You can also try pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar slowly (because the mixture fizzes) down the drain to clear the sewer of lime residue in this way. Water contains lime particles and these remain in the sewer and accumulate over time. You can prevent this by using vinegar regularly.

Unscrewing and cleaning the siphon

Some surface blockages are right behind the siphon. You can make an attempt at sewer unclogging by unscrewing the siphon at the drain where the water is not draining or is having difficulty draining and cleaning it with water and baking soda. Then reconnect your siphon to the drain and see if the clog is resolved.

Be careful with materials

Some superficial clogs can be solved using materials such as a plopper and a pull spring. However, if used incorrectly, you can also worsen the clog or even puncture the pipe. Therefore, be very careful when using these materials or seek the help of a sewer specialist immediately.

Did you fail to unclog the sewer yourself and want to call in a plumber? If so, we'd rather advise you to call in a specialist right away. Make an appointment via our website or call us and our technicians will be on their way to you as soon as possible. They will unclog your sewer in a safe, responsible and effective manner!

Tips to prevent a clogged sewer

RBNL is here for you. Your happiness is our goal. That's why we're not only here for sewer unclogging, but we also like to help you prevent a clog. Below we give you 5 tips to prevent a clogged sewer:

  1. Every month, flush your sewer with baking soda and vinegar. This preventive action ensures that limescale and grease do not have a chance to cake on the inside of the drain or sewer system.   
  2. Place drain strainers throughout the house. That way, no small food particles end up in the sewer, which can prevent clogs.
  3. Every now and then, clear the gutters of leaves, twigs, bird feathers and sand. This is especially important in the fall. This is because these natural debris can cause stubborn accumulations in the sewer system. 
  4. Do not flush sanitary pads, tampons or wet toilet wipes down the drain. These products do not break down naturally and can easily hang in your sewer and cause a blockage. 
  5. Use the drain for its intended purpose. So don't pour grease or food particles down your sink or toilet. Guaranteed to lead to a sewer blockage at some point.
