Elite Plumbing Services Rescues Palm Harbor Airbnb from Major Sewer Backup!
A Recurring Nightmare for an Airbnb Property
At Elite Plumbing Services, Inc., we know how important it is for property owners—especially short-term rental hosts—to have reliable plumbing. A sewer backup isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it can disrupt bookings, lead to negative reviews, and even cause health hazards.
This was exactly the case for a Palm Harbor Airbnb property that had been experiencing months of recurring sewer backups. Despite previous plumbing attempts, the issue never truly got resolved. The homeowners were frustrated, guests were inconvenienced, and the problem just kept coming back.
That’s when they called in the experts: Elite Plumbing Services, Inc.
The Hidden Culprit: A Stuck Sewer Snake!
Upon arrival, our team got to work diagnosing the problem. We inspected the sewer line and quickly realized that this wasn’t just a simple clog.
What we found shocked us!
There was an abandoned sewer snake—yes, an actual metal auger tool—left behind inside the sewer line by a previous plumber! This tool, meant to clear drain blockages, had actually been lodged deep in the system, making things much worse.
This rogue tool had been acting like a dam, trapping debris, grease, and waste, which led to the constant sewage backups. The homeowners had no idea this was sitting in their plumbing system, causing chaos beneath their feet.
A Full Excavation & Sewer Line Repair
Because of the severity of the obstruction, we had to dig in—literally.
Step 1: We began an excavation to reach the sewer line safely.
Step 2: Once exposed, we carefully removed the stuck sewer snake and cleaned out the system.
Step 3: With county utilities on-site, we ensured that everything was up to code.
Step 4: The line was repaired, restored, and fully functional once again!
This was a bigger job, but no job is too big for Elite Plumbing Services!
