A clogged main line can look a lot like a septic problem. We clear the clog, find out why it happened and make sure it isn't the start of something bigger.
When one sink drains slowly, the clog is usually close by. When every drain in the house is slow, or water backs up into the tub when the toilet flushes, the problem is often in the main line that carries everything out to the septic tank or sewer.
Stewart Septic Services provides drain cleaning for homes and businesses across Macon and Middle Georgia. Because we work on septic systems every day, we can tell the difference between a clogged line and a full tank — and fix whichever one is actually causing the trouble.
We don't just punch through the clog and leave. We look for the reason it happened, so you're not calling again next month.
From a single slow drain to a blocked main line.
Blockages in the line between the house and the tank or sewer.
Tubs, showers and sinks that won't drain properly.
Grease, lint and buildup in high-use lines.
Toilets that back up or gurgle when other fixtures drain.
In a home on septic, a slow drain could be a simple clog — or it could be a full tank, a broken baffle or a failing drain field. Clearing the line without checking the system can miss the real problem.
Common culprits in main lines include grease, wipes, paper towels, roots and sagging pipe. If a clog keeps coming back, a camera inspection can show us exactly what's going on inside.
Either way, you'll get a straight answer about what caused the clog and what, if anything, needs to happen next.
Drain cleaning from Stewart Septic Services includes:
If only one fixture is slow, it's usually a local clog. If drains throughout the house are slow or backing up, the problem may be in the main line or the septic system. We'll check both.
Harsh chemical drain cleaners can harm the bacteria in your septic tank and may damage older pipes. It's best to avoid them.
Recurring clogs often point to roots, a sag in the line or heavy buildup. See Root Removal and Hydro Jetting.
