Toilet and tub slow again, and there's a big oak out front?

By Census estimates the middle Avondale Estates home went up in 1966, with about 46% built before 1960, and about 82% of households own. Older houses here can have cast iron drains and clay laterals under mature trees. Roots find the clay joints, catch paper, and the toilet and tub slow down every few months.

A plunger won't touch it. A plumber's cable with a root cutter clears the line, and a camera shows how bad the joints are so you can plan ahead.

Whose line

Sewage in the street, or just in your house?

The City of Avondale Estates explains that the water and sanitary sewer systems under nearly every street are owned and run by the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management. 11Alive reported that DeKalb crews stopped a spill of about 46,000 gallons from a busted main east of the city.

Report a main break or sewage in the right-of-way to DeKalb. If only your house is backing up, the clog is in your lateral, and a plumber clears it.

Downspouts

Basement drain backing up in a thunderstorm?

Storm water is the city's job, under its own storm sewer permit and Stormwater Master Plan. Storm drains and sanitary sewers are separate. Downspouts tied into a sewer cleanout send rain into the county system, and with about 51 inches of rain a year at Atlanta's airport, that can push sewage back up your basement drain.

If you see a downspout running into a cleanout, have it re-routed to the yard.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Avondale Estates

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.
