Sewer Repair in Simi Valley, CA
The sewer system in your home’s plumbing remains one of the most important elements of all. Such a system handles everything from the home’s waste to excess water, so when a single problem occurs, it can be quite a messy inconvenience for all those involved. In fact, any issue with a sewer line can be quite dangerous, too. Waste that may back up in a sewage system can often lead to harmful bacteria festering in the pipes and spreading throughout your entire home. In some cases, it can even lead to environmental damage.
This is why it pays to call the professional Simi Valley sewer repair experts at Dutton Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical when you begin to notice any trouble with a sewer system. We specialize in repairing such systems and can even tackle the biggest of problems with ease.
Clogged Sewer Lines
A clogged sewer line is often one of the most common problems we experience on the job. When it comes to sewer repair, we always start by using Vision Technologies Sewer Camera, allowing our service experts to run a cable through the length of the pipe and locate the clog quickly. With the camera, we notice root penetrations, blockages, and even faulty pipes.
Believe it or not, a clog can often be caused by the roots of a tree penetrating the outer wall of your sewer pipes. The roots then begin to grow and block the flow of the pipe. At Dutton Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical , we have specialized products designed to remove such problems without harming the rest of the system. For example, RootX is a foaming root-control product known to be completely safe and effective for such issues.

The sewer main is the primary pipe carrying wastewater from your home to the city’s sewer system. As a homeowner, you need to maintain and repair the sewer line on your property.

Indications of Sewer Problems
No one wants to hear that they’re having sewer line issues. However, it’s better to find out about those issues than to let them worsen undetected. At Dutton Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical , it’s our job to repair any sewer line problems as quickly as possible.
If you suspect a sewer problem, look for the warning signs. You can keep an eye out for the following symptoms:
- Slow drains: - Sinks, tubs, or showers that take a long time to empty.
- Multiple backups: - Wastewater or raw sewage backing up into lower-level showers, floor drains, or toilets.
- Strange smells - Excessive moisture from a leaking pipe can lead to mold and mildew growth.
How Can I Prevent a Sewer Backup?
Anyone who has experienced flooding in the home after a particularly heavy bout of rainfall knows there is more than just water damage to contend with. A sewer backup involves sewage or wastewater seeping into the home due to the flooding waters. This poses a significant health hazard to everyone inside the home.
To prevent sewer backup, homeowners can take advantage of a few different options. A floor drain plug will prevent any water backup from escaping the drainage pipes and seeping back into the foundation. A standpipe is also a unique method to avoid excess water levels from damaging your home. Finally, a backwater valve or backflow preventer can be installed in the home or in an underground pipe to connect the sewer line and prevent water from flowing backward through the pipeline systems. Dutton Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical can install any of these backup prevention methods for you.
Preventive Maintenance for Sewer Lines
Preventing sewer line issues before they happen can save you time, money, and the inconvenience of dealing with a backup. Our team at Dutton Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical can provide preventive maintenance services to keep your sewer lines in top condition.
