SEWER BACKUPS ARE:
• Gross Unhealthy
• Costly Harmful to our rivers
and lakes
DID YOU KNOW?
• Items with packages that say "flushable" or safe for pipes
do not necessarily make it true. Many items marketed as
disposable and/or flushable are not biodegradable like
toilet paper.
• When Fats, Cooking Oils, and Grease go down the drain,
they build up in pipes go cause clogs. These clogs can
cause a sewer pipe to break or backup into your home,
yard, and street.
SO WHAT'S THE COST?
It costs an average of to get a clogged drain opened
by a plumber. That price can land anywhere between
and depending on the simplicity or severity of
the clog. Stubborn, clogged or damaged pipes can
increase your repair bill significantly!
