When was the last time your sewer had a check-up? That’s right! Even sewers require check-ups from time to time. Spring is just around the corner and the big winter thaw can often bring with it a whole set of plumbing issues, including sewer line repair. After an extremely cold winter like the one we’ve been having, the chances for a broken pipe or some other serious sewer issue increases. Avoid stressful, expensive, and unexpected plumbing issues down the line and take a minute to check your sewer. As experts in sewer line repair for Richfield and the surrounding areas we would like to tell you more about some benefits to taking good care of your home’s sewer system before spring.
This late winter and early spring it is important to take steps to keep your sewer system in its best possible shape and avoid unnecessary sewer line repair. Your sewer system is essential to your home’s comfort and without it, you can’t bring water or waste in or out of your home. Regular cleaning and inspections of your sewer system from Gene’s Water & Sewer can go a long way in avoiding potential sewer line repair.
You can also give your sewer line a good DIY spring cleaning if you prefer. Pour a cup of baking soda down your drains to provide a little cleaning to help prevent expensive sewer repair. Follow this up by pouring a cup of white vinegar down the same drains. Lastly, boil up some water, pour that down those very same drains, to wash it all down.
Staying up-to-date on the needs of your sewer system is one of the best ways to ensure proper function of your sewer line for years to come. It is also important to make sure everyone in your household is on-board as well. It is important everyone, adults and children alike, be sensible with their flushes and do not flush anything down toilets beside toilet paper and human waste. If you keep up with this, you can help avoid future sewer line repair or replacement.
Also, when was the last time 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.
