Do you have a backup in the plumbing system<\/a> of your Arlington\u00a0home? Call the plumbers at Service Doctors<\/a> before you do anything else. A lot of DIY fixes are temporary, and a professional plumber will be able to determine if there are larger issues.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the causes of plumbing backups:<\/p>\n

Leaking Pipe<\/h3>\n

While it may not seem like the actual cause, a leaking pipe<\/a> is a sign that there could be a clog or backup. Many times, a clog in the sewer line will cause the water pressure to increase and put stress on already weak points in the pipe. If you have water leaking from a joint, for instance, you could have a clog somewhere near that joint. There could also be a clog deeper in the line, and calling a professional plumber for help is the only true way to know what is causing it.<\/p>\n

Tree Root Intrusion<\/h3>\n

A broken water line or sewer line could be caused by tree roots that have broken into the line. Tree roots naturally seek the nearest water source, so it is a common problem to see tree roots causing the issue. Some warning signs for this are a decrease in water pressure, sudden and unexplained flooding in your yard, or a recent spike in your water bills. If you suspect a broken water or sewer line, call a plumber. There could be a minor issue, but you don\u2019t want to wait until gets worse and turns into an expensive repair.<\/p>\n

Blockages<\/h3>\n

A blockage in your plumbing system could be caused by a number of issues. The main thing to remember is not to panic and to call a plumber. Keep in mind that plunging doesn\u2019t always fix the root of the problem, and putting drain cleaners or harsh chemicals down your toilet can cause damage to the system.<\/p>\n
