How do you recognize a sewer clog?

Sewer clogs can manifest in various ways. The sooner you recognize the signs, the sooner you can prevent the problem from worsening. Some signs that indicate a sewer clog are:

  • Slow-draining water

If you notice that the water in your sink, shower, or toilet drains slowly, it's often a sign of an incipient clog.

  • Sounds from the drain

Bubbling or gurgling sounds from your drain can indicate a buildup of dirt in the pipes.

  • Recurring Clogs

If you notice the same drain constantly getting clogged, it's a sign of a structural problem somewhere in the sewage system.

  • Sewer Smell in Your Home

An unpleasant smell from your drains can indicate a clog caused by trapped debris in the sewer system.

It's important to recognize and address a sewer clog as quickly as possible to prevent further damage and inconvenience. If in doubt, it's wise to call in professional help, such as the experienced plumbers from RBNL, who can assist you in identifying the problem through sewer inspection and unclogging your sewer. Call our highly trained and well-equipped plumbers for sewer unclogging in Amsterdam. 

Causes of a clogged sewer

A clogged sewer can have various causes. Some common causes include:

Accidental Flushing of Objects

People sometimes flush items down the toilet that don't belong there, such as wet wipes, sanitary pads, or cotton wool. This leads to blockages and clogs.

Excessive Use of Toilet Paper

Flushing large amounts of toilet paper at once or thick toilet paper (such as three- or four-ply paper) can lead to a blockage in the drain.

Improper Use of Drains

Large amounts of food scraps and grease are flushed down the sewer daily. The sewer system is, of course, not designed for this, and it can result in a clogged drain.

Problems with Sewer Pipes

This can include shifted or broken sewer pipes caused by tree roots or ground subsidence.

Unclog it yourself? Try our tips

Do you want to unclog the sewer in Amsterdam yourself? There's a good chance the clog is too deep and you'll need an experienced plumber, but for small clogs, there are a few steps you can take to unclog your sewer yourself:

Clearing a sewer with hot water and baking soda

For small or developing clogs, you can flush a mixture of hot water and baking soda down the drain. Baking soda, a natural cleaning agent, has the property of loosening and dissolving caked-on residue inside the drain. This can help prevent an emerging clog and restore flow.

Clearing a sewer with vinegar

You can also try slowly pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar (because the mixture fizzes) down the drain to free the sewer from limescale deposits. Water contains limescale particles, which remain in the sewer and accumulate over time. You can prevent this by regularly using vinegar.

Unscrewing and cleaning the siphon

Some superficial clogs are located just behind the siphon. You can attempt to unclog the sewer in Amsterdam by unscrewing the siphon at the drain where water is not draining or draining slowly, and cleaning it with water and baking soda. Then reattach the siphon to the drain and check if the clog has been resolved.

Be careful with tools

Some superficial blockages can be resolved using tools like a plunger and a drain snake. However, incorrect use can worsen the blockage or even puncture the pipe. Therefore, be very careful when using these tools, or immediately call in the help of a sewer specialist.

Are your attempts at sewer unclogging ineffective, or do you simply not have the time or desire to unclog the sewer? Then make an appointment with RBNL for sewer unclogging in Amsterdam and leave the dirty work to us!
