Q: Can you flush anything other than toilet paper?

• <div><p>Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of roots in a main sewer line?

• <div><p>You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sewer-line-replacement-or-repair-cost.htm">Sewer line replacement costs</a> about $60 to $250 per linear foot. </p></div>

Q: How does drain cleaner dissolve hair?

• <div><p>Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for tree roots to grow back in the sewer line?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.</p></div>

Mr. Rooter lied to me and didn't do the work they had been paid to do. I paid Mr. Rooter $4000 to replace the sewer line at my house. Their bid clearly stated, "replace sewer line from the house to the city main". Two years later I began having sewage backups. I discovered that Mr. Rooter's...
