How do I stop sludge buildup in my sewer line?

• <div><p>Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.</p><p>Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.</p></div>

What are the signs of a clogged main sewer line?

Do I really need to replace my sewer line?

• <div><p>While the answer to whether or not you need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-replace-my-sewer-line.htm">replace your sewer line</a> depends on your specific situation, it’s usually wise to be proactive when it comes to your plumbing. </p><p>Unfortunately, many sewer line issues only get worse over time.
