A main line or vertical line clog can spell disaster for homeowners. Dirty waste water can backup into your home or up through all your pipes causing damage to everything it touches. The main line or the vertical line is the common pipe that all the drains in your house lead to, and that leads that water, in turn, to the main city sewer line. If this line gets clogged or blocked, all the water and appliances connected to water are unsafe to use.

Main Line Clog, First Things First

The first thing that needs to be done when you have a drain clog or drain blockage is that you need to determine where it is. Is the plumbing problem somewhere deep in the internal structure of your house’s plumbing? Or is the problem out in the main line? At Emergency Plumbing Markham, we are experts at deducing, detecting the cause and locations of clogs and blockages.

The next thing that needs to be determined, is what’s causing the main line to backup. Common causes of a blockage to the main line include, tree roots, improperly disposed of waste products, fats, oils and grease that collect and harden and block the passage of water, objects like toys.

As a homeowner you are responsible for the proper functioning of your main line. In order to ensure a thorough, and cost-efficient solution to any main line problems, you need to contact a professional plumber.

Clogs to the main line or lateral line can cause water to backup into your house. In order to prevent this, you may want to consider installing a backwater valve.

At Emergency Plumbing Markham, we are experts in the installation and maintenance of backwater valves. A properly installed backwater valve will allow water to flow out, but not in, to your home. This can save you thousands of dollars in costly repairs and clean-up after flood or blockage.
