Greenacres drain clearing for sewer and septic homes alike
Quick answer
My Greenacres street was switched from septic to sewer. Why is my drain still slow?
A sewer connection replaces the tank and drainfield, not the pipes inside your house. A clog in a sink, tub or the building drain can still happen. If the problem started right after the change, mention it, since the new connection point is worth checking. Call Du-All Plumbing at 561-623-3111.

Greenacres in transition: sewer, septic and the drain in between
Greenacres has been changing how some of its homes handle wastewater. A 2017 city infrastructure element said residents were served by Palm Beach County Water Utilities or by private septic tanks, and named the Original Section, Sherwood Forest, Pine Country and Sunland Estates among the subdivisions where septic was used. A January 2024 city council packet described an Original Section sewer project around 10th Avenue North and Biscayne covering about 1,170 residential units, and the city has since published a bid for an Original Section sewer north phase. Those records describe a work in progress, not a finished map, so we never assume a particular house is on one or the other. The difference matters for drain calls. In a sewer home, a whole-house slowdown points to a main line clog. In a septic home, it may point to the tank or drainfield. And in a home recently connected, the joint where old house piping meets the new line is a place to look first if trouble started soon after. Tell us which applies when you call, and we start in the right place.
How do I know if my home is on sewer now?
Your Palm Beach County Water Utilities bill is the simplest check: a sewer charge usually means a sewer connection. If you have a tank in the yard and no sewer charge, you are likely still on septic. If you recently connected, you may have received notices from the city about the project and the connection.
Neighborhood names and ZIP codes do not settle it, since projects proceed in phases. When in doubt, ask the county utility about your account.
What changes after a septic-to-sewer connection?
The septic tank is taken out of service and the house drain is connected to a new private line that runs to the public sewer. The plumbing inside the house usually stays the same. That means old habits and old clogs carry over: a kitchen line coated with grease is still coated, and a hair-clogged shower is still slow.
Some homeowners notice drains working better after connection, because a struggling drainfield no longer limits flow. Others find that an existing partial clog shows up more clearly. Either way, the inside drains need the same care as before.
- Inside pipes stay the same after connection
- A new joint now links old and new piping
- Old septic habits, like avoiding grease, still help
Whole-house slowdown on septic
For a home still on septic, slow drains everywhere, gurgling, odor near the tank, or wet ground over the drainfield can involve a blockage in the line to the tank, a restricted tank outlet, a buildup of solids that calls for pumping, or a drainfield that is no longer absorbing water. A septic tank normally holds liquid up to its outlet, so a full tank by itself is not the diagnosis; a septic professional sorts out which part is failing. Clearing a drain line will not fix a tank or field problem.
Our septic tank service covers pumping and inspection. If the tank and field are fine and drains are still slow, the line between the house and tank may be clogged, which is a drain cleaning call.

Which fixtures clog first in a Greenacres home?
Kitchens clog from grease and food. Bathrooms clog from hair and soap. Laundry lines clog from lint. These start at one fixture. When two or more fixtures slow together, the clog is in a line they share.
Watch which fixture slows first and whether others follow. That order helps us decide whether to start at a trap or at the main line. A bathroom far from the street that slows before the others can hint at a branch problem rather than the main.
Kitchen sink versus garbage disposal
If the disposal runs normally but the sink holds water, the clog is in the trap or branch line. If the disposal hums, will not turn or trips its reset, the disposal itself needs attention. Turn it off at the switch and leave it off while the sink is full.
On septic, disposals add solids to the tank. On sewer, they add particles that stick to grease in the line. Either way, light use with cold water and no grease is the safer habit. Our kitchen plumbing page covers disposals.
Who handles problems outside the house?
Palm Beach County Water Utilities lists a 24-hour emergency line (official contact details) for problems including sewer backups and complaints. If several homes are affected or sewage appears in the street, call that line. A blockage in your own fixtures or private line is ours to clear.
We do not assume where the county's responsibility ends at a given address.
Safe steps while you wait
Stop using water when more than one fixture is slow or water rises anywhere. Keep people and pets away from sewage. Avoid chemical drain openers; on septic they can harm the tank's bacteria, and on sewer they make the line hazardous to work on. Do not open a septic lid or a cleanout cap. Note what you see and when it started.
What should I watch for in the first months after connecting?
A few observations are worth noting during the first weeks on sewer. Do drains run at their usual pace, faster, or slower? Is there any sewer odor near where the new line leaves the house? Has a fixture that was always sluggish improved, or does it still hold water? Does the toilet gurgle when the washer drains? None of this requires opening anything or testing with extra water. Write down what you notice.
If something changed for the worse right after the connection, mention who did the connection work and when. We are not there to second-guess anyone's work, only to find the clog or defect causing the symptom. If the evidence points to the connection, you will want that information for whoever performed it.
Old septic habits that still make sense
Septic owners learn to be careful: no grease, no wipes, gentle use of the disposal, spreading out laundry loads. Most of those habits are good for a sewer-connected home too. Grease and wipes clog private lines regardless of where they lead. Spreading out laundry loads reduces surges that can reveal a partial clog. The one habit that changes is pumping: once the tank is properly abandoned, it no longer needs it. Keep any paperwork about the abandonment with your house records.
Recurring clogs and damaged lines
A line that clogs again soon after clearing may have a defect: roots, a sag, or a damaged joint. In a recently connected home, a poorly aligned joint at the connection point is one possibility among several. Clearing restores flow but does not repair a pipe.
We explain what we observe and whether a closer look is warranted. Repair is covered on our sewer line repair page.

Before you call
Greenacres drain cleaning questions, answered
Do I still need to avoid grease after connecting to sewer?
Yes. Grease clogs house drains and private lines whether they lead to a septic tank or a sewer.
What happens to my old septic tank after the connection?
Tanks taken out of service are normally abandoned following state and county rules. Keep the paperwork with your house records; it answers questions later.
My drains got slower right after the sewer connection. Is that normal?
It is not expected. Mention the timing when you call. The joint where house piping meets the new line is one place to check.
Is there a number for sewer backups outside my Greenacres home?
Palm Beach County Water Utilities lists a 24-hour line (official contact details) for sewer backups and complaints.
Does my neighborhood name tell me if I am on septic?
No. Projects proceed in phases. Your bill or the county utility is the reliable source.
