Is Your Sewer Line Clogged or Backing Up? It Might Be More Than Just a Blockage

Is Your Sewer Line Clogged or Backing Up? It Might Be More Than Just a Blockage

You flush your toilet — and instead of the water disappearing, it starts to rise. Or maybe the kitchen sink won’t drain, and now every drain in the house gurgles like something out of a horror movie.
If this sounds familiar, you may not just have a clog — you could be facing a serious sewer line issue.
🌳 The Root of the Problem (Literally)
In Arizona, aging sewer lines often suffer from:
Tree root invasion
Grease buildup and food waste
Toilet paper or wipes clogs
Cracked, collapsed, or offset pipes
Sagging lines (also known as “bellies”)
Roots seek out moisture, and your underground sewer pipe is the perfect target. Once inside, they expand, crack your pipe, and trap everything you flush. Over time, it creates a full blockage that snakes can’t solve.

💡 Homeowner Tips: Signs of a Sewer Line Problem

It’s not always obvious — but here’s what to watch for:
Slow drains in multiple locations
Frequent toilet backups (especially if it happens after using another fixture)
Foul odors from drains or yard
Standing water near sewer cleanouts
Soggy lawn or sunken ground near piping
If you’re seeing more than one of these, don’t wait — sewer issues only get worse (and more expensive) with time.

🔍 Our Process: Diagnose, Repair, and Protect

24/7 repair services

At America Plumbing, we start with a camera sewer inspection to locate the exact cause and position of the blockage.
Once diagnosed, we offer the right solution:
Hydro-jetting to clear roots, grease, and debris
Spot repairs for localized damage
Sewer line repiping or replacement if the line is collapsed or compromised
We handle kitchen sewer lines, toilet drains, mainline cleanouts, and sewer reroutes through the yard, walls, or crawlspaces — with minimal mess and maximum care.
