What Causes Sewer Line Problems?
Sewer issues can happen for many reasons, but some of the most common causes we see in Iowa include:
- Tree root intrusion – Roots seeking moisture can enter and clog pipes.
- Aging pipes – Corroded or weakened materials can collapse or crack.
- Ground shifting – Soil movement or settling can disrupt sewer lines.
- Grease & debris buildup – Flushing the wrong materials can cause blockages over time.
Our plumbers use advanced camera inspection technology to pinpoint the exact cause of your sewer issue so we can recommend the best and most cost-effective fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Choosing the right furnace size depends on various factors, such as your home’s square footage, layout, insulation quality, and usage patterns. An undersized furnace may struggle to heat your entire property, while an oversized furnace can lead to frequent cycling and high energy costs.
As a general rule of thumb, most homes need between 30 and 60 BTUs per square foot. However, this may fluctuate based on local climate and seasonal fluctuations. At Indianola Mechanical, we conduct comprehensive load calculations to determine an appropriate furnace size and capacity for your residential needs!
-
If your boiler’s pilot light keeps going out, some potential causes include a dirty or faulty thermocouple, a blocked pilot orifice, strong drafts, or low gas pressure. These issues are especially common in older homes.
Persistent pilot light issues require prompt attention from a licensed professional to prevent gas supply problems. If your pilot light is going out repeatedly, give us a call at (515) 501-5648. Our office is available 24/7 to take your call!
-
If your boiler isn’t evenly heating your home, some possible culprits include a faulty thermostat, a faulty diverter valve, a clogged radiator, and blocked or frozen pipes. Uneven heating can also occur if your boiler isn’t the correct size. No matter the problem, our technicians can help you diagnose the cause and restore consistent heating.
