Newer homes

Newer house, toilet won't flush?

In Platteville the median home was built in 1992 (Census estimates), with about 32% built in 2000 or later. Newer PVC drains don't scale up like old iron, so a clog in a newer house is almost always something that went down: wipes, paper towels, grease, or too much paper in a low-flow toilet.

Try a flange plunger a few times. If water rises toward the rim or the tub gurgles, the clog is further down. Stop flushing and call.

Mobile homes

Mobile home drain freezing or plugging?

About 14% of Platteville homes are mobile homes. Their small traps and shallow drain runs clog faster than a house drain, and a line that holds water can freeze on a cold night.

Keep the skirting closed in winter, and don't let a slow drain sit. A plumber can clear it and check that the line under the floor is supported.

Whose line

Town sewer work, or a clog in your line?

The Town of Platteville sought bids to expand its wastewater treatment facility with a new headworks, and for Vasquez Boulevard sanitary sewer improvements. Public Works maintains the water and sewer systems. The town office is at 970-785-2245.

Those projects cover the public side. If only your home is backing up, the clog is in your own line, and a plumber is the call.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Platteville

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
