Wayne Sewer Cleaning

Snaking Sewers Since 1975

While they are related, drain cleaning and sewer cleaning are two very different plumbing services. Many people assume that they are having drain issues, when in fact, the sewer is the culprit. If you are having draining issues in your Wayne home or business, the professionals at Burton's Plumbing & Heating can help determine the underlying problem and solve it quickly.

When your sewer system needs professional attention, contact us at (734) 292-4349. We serve customers throughout Wayne and the surrounding areas.

The Difference Between Drain Cleaning & Sewer Cleaning

Although it is technically part of the same system as your drains, your sewer line is responsible for taking all the wastewater from your home or business and delivering it to your city’s treatment center. If only one or two drains are giving you trouble, you most likely need a simple drain cleaning, but if everything is backed up, your problem is probably with the sewer.

We are a family-owned and operated business recognized and trusted by our local community.

Why Do Sewers Need Cleaning?

Your sewer is larger than your drainpipes, since it needs to be able to carry a larger volume of wastewater than the smaller, individual lines. This means it also takes more for it to require attention, but the most common issues are due to waste accumulation or tree roots growing into the line.

Signs Your Sewer Line is Clogged

If you notice any of the following signs, it could be indicative of a clogged sewer:

Multiple fixtures throughout the home draining slowly or not at all
Frequent plunging of toilets and sinks
Gurgling sounds in different drains
Water flowing up or out from a sewer cleanout
Foul odors coming from toilet, sink, or shower drains

It's important to take action if needed as sewage not draining properly can result in water damage as well as health risks such as bacteria-borne illnesses.
