Must I suck out the septic tank first? A common culprit responsible for such backups is tree roots in your sewer line. Major root invasion might require professional plumbing assistance, but introducing copper sulfate into your sewer system is a home remedy that might prevent a minor root problem from becoming a major issue. Solid, sealed sewer lines aren't susceptible to tree roots.
But introduce even a tiny crack or fissure into a sewer line and tree roots can invade, grow and cause all kinds of havoc. Solid waste can collect around the root fibers, inhibiting the flow of water. As additional waste material collects, the flushing action of your toilet becomes more sluggish and can even result in a backup. As the tree roots grow, the fibers can also increase in length and width, completely blocking your sewer line. Tree roots are indeed invisible enemies when it comes to your plumbing health.
While DIY remedies like rock salt and copper sulfate make great temporary solutions, sometimes professional root removal and pipe replacement is the best course of action.
