Sewer line backups are common this time of year due to summer rainwater entering sewer pipes. Nothing is worse than the smell and inconvenience of a backed up sewer in summer. No one wants to invite everyone over for a backyard barbeque only to have the day ruined by a faulty sewer. But, if you find yourself in need of a sewer replacement at your Maple Grove home, you’ve got options and many ways to help avoid it.
A downed sewer system is a troubling time and it is highly likely that you have questions about sewer replacement and how the job will be carried out. Always happy to hear from a potential customer, Gene’s Water and Sewer will gladly field any questions and concerns you have. But in the meantime, we have a few tips to help keep your sewer clean and functioning correctly to help you avoid sewer replacement.
Regular Cleanings
Regular cleanings can go a long way to help avoid potential sewer replacement. At Gene’s Water & Sewer, we can handle these important cleanings for you. And, if you find that your plumbing is beyond the cleaning point and is in actual need of repair, options do exist.
Tree Placement
New tree root growth from the spring can also cause sewer backup issues as roots are drawn toward the sewer line. Have us inspect your sewer line pipes to let you know if you are susceptible to a sewer line backup problem or if damage has already occurred. And, make sure that this is at the forefront of your mind if you choose to plant new trees. Place your new trees as far away from your sewer pipes as is possible.
When Replacement or Repair is Unavoidable, Find the Best Option for You
A trenchless sewer repair gets you a sewer system replacement and without a huge trench having to be dug in your yard. The process works through the installation of a resin-based liner that is pulled through your existing pipes, ultimately to be inflated. This liner adheres to the inside of your current piping, covering any cracks that may exist. A hole is only required at the deemed point of entry.
No matter what, be sure not to put off your sewer replacement for too long. And, getting your pipes cleaned by professionals like us can help keep your sewer system in good shape.
