Plumber Encino CA Sewer Backup Prevention What to Know

Root intrusion is the most common cause of sewer backup in Encino's established neighborhoods. The mature trees that give Encino its characteristic character, oak, sycamore, and various ornamental species, send root systems toward the moisture in sewer line joints. Over years, these roots grow from hairline infiltration to complete obstruction. Warning signs of developing root intrusion include drains that are slowing progressively throughout the home, gurgling sounds from multiple fixtures when any single drain is used, and water backing up into floor drains or low fixtures when upstairs drains are used.
