Why do Alexander, IL homes experience so many drain problems in winter?

The cold winters in Alexander cause the ground to freeze and thaw repeatedly throughout the season. This movement puts stress on underground pipes and sewer lines, especially in homes where clay soil surrounds the foundation. Over time, this pressure can crack or shift pipes, leading to slow drains, backups, and leaks. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians can inspect and clear problem drains before they turn into bigger repairs.

How does clay soil affect sewer lines in Alexander?

Clay and glacial deposit soils hold moisture and expand when wet, which creates pressure against buried sewer lines. This can cause pipes to crack, joint seals to fail, or lines to shift out of alignment. Tree roots also tend to seek out moisture in clay soil and can invade older sewer lines. Roto-Rooter offers pipe restoration and excavation services to address these issues and restore proper flow.

What should I do if my basement floods in Alexander?
