Manns Choice – Water Damage Restoration

Clogged Drains & Backups

Your home’s main sewer line is the pipe that connects your plumbing to the city’s sewer system. Every time you flush a toilet, run a sink, or use a shower, wastewater flows through this line and out to the public sewer.

However, mainline clogs can happen, leading to serious plumbing issues. Some common causes include:

• Excessive toilet paper, baby wipes, and napkins that don’t break down properly
• Tree roots growing into the sewer line and blocking flow
• Broken or collapsed pipes that prevent wastewater from draining

A sewer backup usually starts at the lowest point in your home, such as a basement drain or bathroom. Since these areas are often out of sight, backups can go unnoticed until water or sewage starts flooding the basement.

Once a backup occurs, it’s more than just a plumbing problem—it’s a health risk. Sewage exposure can lead to mold growth and contamination of floors, walls, and furniture. Everything affected needs to be cleaned, sanitized, or replaced.

When you notice signs of a backup, you need immediate plumbing service to stop the damage before it gets worse. At 1-Tom-Plumber Manns Choice, our team is ready to clear your sewer line, prevent further damage, and help restore your basement.

Overflowing Toilets

There are two toilet problems you never want to happen at the same time:

1. A clogged toilet drain
2. A toilet that won’t stop running

When these issues occur together, it can lead to serious water damage and costly repairs. If the toilet overflows, it can cause flooding, damage floors, and even lead to mold growth if not addressed quickly.

The good news? A running toilet is usually an easy fix. In many cases, a clogged drain can also be cleared without too much trouble. However, if you're unsure or if an overflow has already started, it’s best to call a plumber immediately.

At 1-Tom-Plumber Manns Choice, we have the experience and tools to handle both issues fast, preventing further damage to your home or business. We’ll make sure your toilet is functioning properly, your drains are clear, and your property is protected from water damage.
