Toilet backing up after a big storm?

Why it happens in Callahan

Callahan council minutes from September 2017 thank staff for keeping water and sewer running through the storm even though the sewer plant flooded. The Jacksonville station averages about 53.4 inches a year.

What to try, and when to call us

During a storm, use as little water as you can. If your toilet backs up only when it pours, rain may be getting into your line through a broken cleanout.

What causes it in Callahan

The town's home page describes a project to rehabilitate 56 sanitary sewer manholes and 400 feet of 8-inch gravity sewer line. Leaky manholes let rain in, which overloads the system.

What you can do right now

That work is on the town's side. The line from your house is still the owner's.

Why Callahan homes see this

About 60% of Callahan homes are from 2000 or later. In newer homes, sink clogs usually come from grease and food in the trap, not old pipe.

When to stop and call

Pull and clean the trap under the sink with a bucket below. If it's clear, the clog is further down.

What to Do While You Wait in Callahan

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.
