We Can Help You Prevent Sewer Backups in Champaign

Sewer backups are an expensive mess. Damage and rehabilitation can be costly—on average, about $4,400.

Chief / Bauer Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can help you steer clear of that by validating you have a backflow assembly. This acts as a safeguard against backups.

The majority of homeowners may not be aware they’re responsible for maintaining and repairing the sewer lateral. This is the pipeline that links the Champaign sanitary sewer main and your residence.

At Chief / Bauer Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, our plumbers and technicians have the skills, experience and ability to take care of everything related to sewer service and sewer inspection.

No matter what’s causing your sewer to overflow or become blocked, make sure to get in touch with us as soon as you notice a problem. Fixing it quickly can help you avoid pricey destruction to your home.

Common Causes of Sewer Backup

Obstructions in the city’s sanitary sewer main can cause your sewer to back up. Tree roots can also lead to problems if they expand into your lines.

There are a few things you can do to avoid a backup.

  • Throw away waste correctly.
  • Don’t put grease down your drain.
  • Don’t flush paper towels, wet wipes or feminine goods.
  • Have Chief / Bauer Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning install a backwater prevention valve to prevent sewer backflows.
  • Have us check for and take care of illegal plumbing connections, like French drains, sump pumps or other flood control systems. These connections can obstruct your lines with debris and silt.
  • Put in a new line and tap with plastic pipe to prevent tree roots from damaging your lines.
