You may not be able to put off a sewer system replacement for too long, but, you can take some steps to keep your sewer system in its best possible shape. Your sewer system is essential to your home’s functionality and comfort. Without it, you can’t bring water or waste in or out of your home. Regular cleanings of your sewer system from Gene’s Water & Sewer can go a long way in avoiding potential sewer replacement. And, staying up-to-date on the needs of your sewer system is one of the best ways to ensure proper function for years to come.

As always, be sensible with your flushes and do not flush anything down your toilets beside toilet paper and human waste. If you keep up with this, you can help avoid future sewer replacement.

If you find that cleaning doesn’t quite do the trick and your plumbing is in need of actual repairs, there are many options you can consider. A trenchless sewer repair gets you the sewer replacement you need without a huge trench having to be dug in your yard. A hole is only required at the deemed point of entry. This type of sewer replacement means you don’t need to worry about having your property ripped up right before prime planting season.

Have you considered your lawn’s tree placement? A tree’s root system grows deep into the ground and these roots can even grow into your sewer pipes, stressing and cracking them. Now is a great time to make sure you plant new trees as far away from your sewer pipes as possible to avoid a sewer replacement in the future.
