Q: Where does wastewater go?

• <div><p>Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-septic-systems.htm">Septic systems</a> naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.</p></div>

Q: Does pouring water down the toilet help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you&rsquo;ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you&rsquo;re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.</p></div>

Q: Can I use metal detectors to find my sewer line?

• <div><p>No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.</p></div>

Q: Why and when would I need a sewage ejector pump?

• <div><p>A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.</p><p>The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell where a water leak is coming from?

• <div><p>You can try a few things to figure out where a water leak is coming from. Check all of your appliances and fixtures, make sure the water pressure is normal on your faucets, and look for signs of water damage. Some signs of a leaky pipe include water stains on ceilings and walls, paint or wallpaper that starts bubbling, a musty smell, or visible signs of mold.</p></div>

Customers say: Quick response

"I had a very bad clog and called a few other plumbers before I finally reached out to City Wide. The first two companies came and more than tripled the price they gave me on the phone. Neither could locate the clean out drain and I had little confidence they would fix my problem. I had them both leave. When City Wide came the techs were Frank and Steve. Frank is a very seasoned plumber and found the cleanout in about 3 mins. They worked carefully and professionally and attempted to clear it a a very low price with the drain auger. It was unsuccessful. They advised me they would need to use the camera and water jet. I was skeptical but had no other choice as it was now getting dark. They brought the equipment 30 mins later, the owner was even on site. They showed me the clog with their camera and it was bad and about 70 ft from my house. They gave me a very reasonable price and got the clog out in mins. They are Ethical & honest. I am thankful for Citywide!"
