Should There Be Water in My Sewer Cleanout?
A sewer cleanout is a capped access point to the sewer line. It should normally be dry. If water is present:
- Blockage: Debris or tree roots may have caused a blockage, forcing water to backup into the cleanout.
- Broken Pipe: A cracked or broken pipe can allow water to leak into the cleanout.
- Improper Slope: The sewer line may have an improper slope, causing water to accumulate in the cleanout.
If you discover water in your sewer cleanout, contact Sewage Cleanup Services immediately for professional diagnosis and repair.
