Billy the Sunshine Plumber will help if your plumbing backs up in heavy rain.

If you’re like the rest of us, you’re running around trying to get ready for Hurricane Ian and hoping it just goes past us with no harm. If you’ve got an older house with iffy plumbing, you’re also beginning to wonder if your plumbing system will make it through the storm. You’re right to be concerned, according to thisoldhouse.com.

“You don’t need an article to tell you that a sewer backup is no joke. But, old houses, increased rain, and lack of maintenance can suddenly experience sewage backing up into their homes,” thisoldhouse.com says. “If this happens to you, you’ll need to take measures to fix it immediately to avoid further issues and emergencies.”

Your best bet to avoid having a sewer backup is to avoid having one. As thisoldhouse.com explains, “The first step in how to manage a sewer backup is to not have one. Some plumbing companies offer an annual inspection program where they will scope and clean your existing drains. Among other things, grease can build up and harden in the pipes over time. But with a yearly inspection, minor obstructions like grease buildup can typically be water jetted away.

“Another problem the scope may find is a broken or cracked pipe. The older the house, the more likely the drain stacks are cast iron and they can fill over time, crack, or—worse—be cracked or breached by tree roots or heavy equipment in the yard.

“Long story short, an inspection is inexpensive compared to a repair.”

If you do get a backup, your best bet is to call a trusted emergency plumber, like those at Billy the Sunshine Plumber, for help.

If you have a raw sewage backup in your home or business, you need the clog cleanup specialists at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

You were racing around like mad this morning getting ready to go to the Kids and Kubs game. That is, you were until you had a raw sewage backup in your bathroom. You spent most of the morning cleaning the tub and floor to get the mess out.

A raw sewage backup is one sign of a sewer line clog, according to Angie’s List. Without looking, it’s impossible to tell what’s clogging the line. It could be anything from tree roots (the primary cause of such clogs, according to Angie’s List) to stuff you’ve flushed that you shouldn’t have flushed. That includes wipes and such that are advertised as “flushable.” (Hint: They’re NOT flushable.)

Your best bet at this point is to cut off the water and find a Tampa Bay plumbing expert to take a look and then clear out the clog.
