A sewer cleanout is an access point to your sewer line, typically located in your yard or basement. It allows for cleaning, inspection, and repair. The presence of water in a sewer cleanout is a common question. Typically, a small amount of water in the sewer cleanout is normal. This water can come from condensation or minor leaks. However, if you notice significant amounts of water or sewage, it could indicate: - **Clogged Sewer Line:** A clog can prevent water from flowing freely, resulting in water buildup in the cleanout. - **Damaged Sewer Line:** A damaged line can allow water or sewage to leak into the cleanout. - **High Water Table:** In areas with high water tables, excess groundwater can seep into the sewer cleanout. ### When to Call a Professional If you observe significant amounts of water or sewage in your sewer cleanout, it's crucial to contact a qualified Sewage Cleanup Service. Our experienced technicians can diagnose the issue, determine the cause, and provide appropriate repair solutions to resolve the problem effectively.
