Symptoms of a Clogged Sewer
When one or more drain lines are clogged, you may hear a gurgling sound, or see your toilet water bubbling, or you may have water backing up in your shower, bathtub, or laundry sink. Slow drains and frequent backups are symptoms that often first appear on the lower level of your home. If you are experiencing any symptoms of a clogged sewer, call Raymark Plumbing & Sewer. We determine the cause of the problem and offer you options that help get your drain lines running smoothly.
Common Sewer Issues
Tree roots – Tree roots seek water. Over time they can penetrate sewer lines and then partially or fully block the line.
Broken or sagging pipes – When a side sewer line sags or bellies from ground changes such as soil erosion or earthquake, or from aging pipes, waste may not be able to exit efficiently. Since the flow is gravity-dependent, waste may seep out underground or into any nearby openings. On a broken pipe, an opening may allow dirt, mud, grass, leaves, and rodents to enter the pipe. All of these can contribute to a partial or full blockage and a backup in your home.
Toilet debris – Treating a toilet as a garbage can will lead to sewer issues. Do not flush wipes, diapers, grease, or anything with string down the toilet.
Garbage disposal debris– Don’t put large amounts of food or grease down the disposal. It was designed to handle only small amounts of food debris.
Hair – hair enters drain lines usually through the bathroom sink and shower. After brushing hair, put loose hair in the garbage, never throw it into the toilet.
Raymark Plumbing & Sewer can resolve any of these sewer issues. We’ve been doing this work for over 40 years in the Seattle area. We are familiar with Seattle sewer lines and offer full or partial sewer line repair and replacement.
Preventative Maintenance
We recommend putting as little garbage down your drain lines as possible. This one change in your home habits could prevent thousands of dollars in sewer line repair.
Save cooking grease and fat in a disposable container and then place the container in your garbage can. Never put grease down a drain, as it will congeal and clog.
Use a screen to cover drain openings to collect hair and soap products from going down the bathroom drain
Place small garbage containers in your bathroom and kitchen, and laundry room to catch those items you usually flush down the toilet, put down your garbage disposal, or rinse down your bathroom sink
Schedule an annual tree root cutting if you have a yard full of trees. We can send a snake with cutting blades thorough the sewer line to remove the roots and then camera the line to see if any damage has occurred. Our special cameras allow us to inspect lines underground, below a patio or driveway, and beneath your home’s foundation.

Sewer Repair & Replacement FAQs
A sewer line may be clogged when one or more drain lines in your home are draining slowly or are backing up. You may notice water backing up in your shower, bathtub, and/or laundry sink. These back ups often first appear on the lower level of your home. You may also hear sounds of water bubbling up or gurgling.
In dry spring and summer months, trees seek water through their roots. Tree roots can find small seams or holes in your sewer line and grow over time to partially or fully block the line. Customers with lots of trees on their property can schedule an annual sewer maintenance to have the roots cut out of the sewer line.
A side sewer is the sewer line located on your property. All of the house drains flow into this side sewer line. Then, the side sewer feeds into the main sewer line.Seattle Public Utilities owns and maintains the main sewer lines. Homeowners are responsible for their side sewer lines.
Shared sewer lines are a shared responsibility. One clog can effect everyone on that line. Neighbors work together to share the expense of maintaining the health of the side sewer line for everyone’s benefit.
