Why would both toilets in the house be overflowing when flushed?

The drain pipe has a blockage somewhere downstream from where the toilets are connected to the main sewer line from the house. All the drains in a house normally connect to one main line that either goes to the city sewer system or your septic tank. If you know where the sewer line exits the house, you could check there to see if the blockage is in the yard. Most sewer blockages are caused by tree roots, broken fittings, or crushed pipes. Good Luck


The main sewer line keeps getting clogged with tree roots in a 3 ft section of line. A plumber wants 8000 to sleeve the pipe. Can I just put an ABS pipe inside the clay pipe?

Most sewer lines do not run perfectly straight, also, you would not be able to get it into the main because there is an elbow where it connects. You can put copper sulphate down the line to kill the roots. Do it a couple of times a year.


How to tell if roots in sewer line?

You could attempt to cable the sewer line to see if any roots actually get caught on the cable when it gets pulled out of the pipe. This is the less expensive way, but isn't as accurate, as sometimes the roots fall off the cable upon pulling it out of the pipe. Also, this will not tell you the extent or location of the root infiltration(s).The most prudent thing to do is have someone perform a Video Inspection of the sewer line. In this way, you not only see if there are roots growing into the line, but more importantly exactly where they are. A large portion of the companies offering video inspection services have the ability to electronically locate the head of the camera, pinpointing exactly which areas are impacted by the roots, among any other issues, while your looking at them.With this information, you will know exactly what, where, and how deep the problems are with the sewer line. This comprehensive view of the overall health of the system will allow you to make an intelligent decision to either repair it or simply maintain it.

Why is sewer water coming out of a pipe in your backyard?

A 3 or 4 inch pipe sticking straight up out of the ground? This is the clean out for the sewer line. If sewage is coming out of it, this means the sewer line is clogged or collapsed from there to the main city sewer. If you have a septic tank, the tank is full and needs to be pumped out.


I have a clay sewer pipe running from the main line in the basement floor. It is all cracked and doesn't appear to be in use. What could have been the purpose of this pipe and can it be removed?

This may be an old sewer system probably going to a septic drain field. Before you discard this be sure you have a working potty draining system.
