Plumbing issues can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare, especially when your sewer system fails. Recently, RC Szabo Plumbing tackled a major sewer replacement for a local family, demonstrating their expertise and commitment to providing top-notch plumbing solutions.
The Problem: A Geyser in the Bathroom
Imagine waking up to find your toilet acting more like a geyser, with water being ejected out of it. This is exactly what happened to one of our clients. The culprit? A damaged sewer line combined with a clogged drain. The situation was dire and required immediate professional intervention.
Understanding the Cause
To understand why this happened, it’s essential to know how plumbing systems work. Toilets are connected to a series of pipes and drains that rely on gravity and water pressure to function correctly. When a sewer line is damaged, it can create a backup. If there’s also a clog in the drain, it can lead to water being forced back up through the toilet.

The Solution: Professional Intervention
RC Szabo Plumbing quickly responded to the emergency call. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we handled the situation:
- Initial Assessment: Upon arrival, our technicians assessed the severity of the situation. The combination of a damaged sewer line and a clogged drain was identified as the root cause.
- Clearing the Clog: Using advanced equipment, we cleared the clogged drain. This involved using a high-pressure water jet to dislodge any blockages and ensure the pipes were clear.
- Sewer Line Replacement: Next, we addressed the damaged sewer line. This required excavating the affected area, removing the old, damaged pipes, and installing new, durable sewer lines.
- Preventative Measures: We also took preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of this issue reoccurring. This included installing backflow prevention devices and providing the homeowner with tips on maintaining their plumbing system.
