Sewer Line Repair Detroit
Sewer clogs can cause extensive damage to your home, especially if sewage begins backing up into toilets, sinks, and drains. If sewage is coming from your drain line, you may have a sewer system issue.

Backflow Prevention in Metro Detroit

During heavy rains or sudden downpours, many of Metro Detroit’s sewer systems become overloaded, causing sewage to flood into your basement. That’s why so many homeowners in the area are choosing to install backflow prevention devices. Backflow preventers are valves that install on your sewer line to keep this disastrous issue from happening to you.
The National Plumbing Code has begun requiring backflow prevention systems in newer homes, but many systems in Metro Detroit need to have them retrofitted to their sewer line. If your home has a basement, or if the ground floor is less than a foot above street level, call MotorCity Plumbing to safeguard your home against sewer backup today!
