Call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help if your sewer line becomes clogged.

Father’s Day started out great with a kayak trip along the Homosassa River. But it got frustrating when you returned home. That’s because you’ve been having frequent clogs and all the drains in your home seem to be really slow.

Slow moving drains and clogged plumbing fixtures are two signs  that you have a clog deep in your sewer line, according to homeserv.com. Other signs are dark-colored water and gurgling sounds in your pipes.

Homeserv.com says recognizing your problem is a clogged sewer gets you halfway to fixing it: “Once you realize it’s happening, the solution is simple. You just need to keep calm and follow these two simple steps: Turn off the water … Call a plumber.”

Homeserv.com adds, “It’s technically possible to clear out some small sewer line clogs yourself, but this is rarely advisable. The problem with DIY repair is that the majority of sewer line clogs are caused by broken pipes, tree roots and other issues deep within your plumbing system. Most people who know how to handle a basic drain clog don’t have the tools for sewer drain clogs.

“Professionals have heavy-duty main sewer line cleaners and other equipment that lets them clear away all sorts of clogs. They also have the knowledge and experience to diagnose the primary issue. Just dumping some main drain cleaner down a toilet yourself won’t help you identify and repair tree root growth or other serious plumbing problems.

“Getting a professional to examine your whole plumbing system will help ensure the real problem is addressed. Depending on your situation, you may need to replace sewer pipes entirely, which can involve digging up the yard and doing some major plumbing.”

When your plumbing backs up, you need help fast from the plumbing pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

This morning’s rain was not a welcome sight because you were planning on going to the Clearwater Jazz Holiday today. And while organizers were planning to carry on rain or shine, you weren’t looking forward to getting sopping wet. When the rain slacked off, you thought you’d been granted a reprieve and were getting ready to go. That’s when you noticed icky stuff backing up in your drains.

Sounds as if you have a sewer backup. The Insurance Information Institute notes that, nationally, the number of backed up sewers is increasing at a rate of about 3 percent annually. Sewer backups can be caused by several things – among them heavy rains. That happened, the III says, if there’s a clog farther down the line or if your sewer and storm water lines are combined.

The bad part is that sewer backups can cause “thousands of dollars in damage to floors, electrical systems, walls, furniture and other belongings,” according to the III. If you’re lucky, the problem is caused by a flaw or other issue with the city or county’s sewer system. If you’re not, and the problem is in a lateral line – one that runs from your home to where it hooks into the city system – then the costs of repair and maintenance are yours.

If you have a backup, your best bet is to call a plumber, like the plumbing experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber to have them find out what caused the backup and where it started. You should also, the III says, arrange for prompt cleanup of your property. That should include

• Wet-vacuuming or removal of spillage
• Mopping floors and wiping walls with soap and disinfectant
• Flushing out and disinfecting plumbing fixtures
• Steam cleaning or removing wet carpets or drapes
• Repairing or removing damaged wallboard or wall covering
• Cleanup of ductwork

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.

If you’re looking for a trusted Tampa Bay plumber, look no further than Billy the Sunshine Plumber. Billy Sunshine has been in business for almost 100 years – since 1924. That’s a lot of cleared clogs and unblocked pipes.

You’re training hard for Saturday’s Crystal River Spring Triathlon. Each morning you get up and train before heading to work. When you’re finished, you can’t wait to hop into a relaxing shower, but you noticed this morning that water had backed up in your shower when you flushed the toilet. Not nice.

No, it’s not nice. And it’s one sign that you might have a clogged sewer line that’s causing a backup. Sounds as if you’re like most homeowners and have neglected your sewer line maintenance.

Angie’s List adds, “There are many reasons why residential main sewer lines backup. Common causes are attributed to tree root intrusion, grease accumulation or pipe scale buildup.”
