Understanding the Common Causes of Sewer Line Clogs

In our decades of experience serving Melbourne homeowners, we have seen firsthand what causes most sewer line clogs. Understanding the root of the problem is the first step toward a lasting solution and preventing the issue from happening again. Knowledge is your best defense against future backups.

Most sewer problems can be traced back to one of these common culprits we find right here in our community:

🔵 Aggressive Tree Roots: Florida's lush plant life means tree roots are constantly seeking water. They can work their way into tiny cracks in a sewer pipe and grow into dense masses that completely block flow. This is one of the most frequent and damaging issues we address.

🔵 Grease, Oil, and Fat Buildup: Pouring grease down the drain is a primary cause of slow drains that eventually lead to major clogs. It cools and solidifies on the walls of your pipes, creating a sticky trap for food particles and other debris that accumulates over time.

🔵 "Flushable" Wipes & Foreign Objects: Many products marketed as "flushable" simply do not break down in our sewer systems the way toilet paper does. These wipes can easily snag and create severe, stubborn blockages deep within your main line.

🔵 Aging or Damaged Pipes: In some of Melbourne's older neighborhoods, pipes made of cast iron or clay can begin to corrode, crack, or sag over the years. This creates low spots where debris collects, leading to chronic and recurring sewer problems for the homeowner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need sewer cleaning or a cleanout in Melbourne? 

Recognizing the signs of a sewer line issue early can save you from a major headache. If you notice that multiple drains in your home are backing up simultaneously, fixtures are draining much slower than usual, or you hear persistent gurgling sounds from your toilets and sinks, your main sewer line is likely obstructed. Foul odors emanating from your drains are another clear indicator, as they are often caused by trapped waste and sewer gas unable to vent properly. While these symptoms point to the need for a professional sewer cleaning, a sewer cleanout is the physical access point—a capped pipe connected to your sewer line—that allows for this service to be performed efficiently. If your property lacks this fitting, an installation may be necessary not only to resolve the current issue but also to comply with local Brevard County codes and simplify future maintenance.

Is a sewer cleanout installation required in Melbourne, FL? 

Yes, in most cases, an accessible sewer cleanout is a requirement under the plumbing codes enforced in Melbourne. These regulations are in place to ensure the safety and sanitation of your property and the municipal system. A cleanout provides a crucial, safe, and direct access point for servicing the sewer lateral that connects your home to the city's main line. For older homes built before this code was standard, a cleanout may be missing. Installing one is a critical upgrade that not only brings your property into compliance but also makes future maintenance and emergency services significantly faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective, as it can prevent the need to pull a toilet or excavate your yard to access the pipe.
