Sewer Backup in Laie?

2/1/2022 (Permalink)

A person is trying to plunge a clogged sink. We clean and restore sewer backups in Honolulu county.

Aloha! SERVPRO® of Kailua professionals have the training, equipment, and experience to clean and restore sewer backups in your Laie home or commercial business. Here is some information on preventing sewer backups in your sewer lateral and city main from the Insurance Information Institute:

Properly dispose of grease

Cooking oil should be poured into a heat-resistant container and disposed of properly after it cools off, not in the drain. Washing grease down the drain with hot water is unsatisfactory. As the grease cools off, it will solidify either in the drain, the property owner’s line, or in the main sewer causing the line to constrict and eventually clog.

Properly dispose of paper products

Paper towels, disposable (and cloth) diapers, hygienic wipes, and feminine products do not deteriorate quickly and can cause a great deal of trouble in the property owner’s lateral as well as in the city main.

Periodically cut tree roots

If you have continuing problems with tree roots in your lateral, you may have to regularly have the roots cut by a professional.

Replace your line with new plastic pipe 

Plastic pipe will prevent tree roots from entering your line. It is recommended to replace your line and tap with new plastic pipe.

Install a backwater prevention valve to prevent sewer backflows
