Below, you’ll find a few sewer maintenance tips that we think can help you avoid recurring sewer issues.

BE MINDFUL OF YOUR LANDSCAPE

A common reason for sewer line repair is because of issues with tree roots. You can’t always control where trees are located on your property in relation to your sewer lines. However, what you can do is be mindful of where you plant new trees or shrubs so roots don’t get into your sewer lines.

PROPERLY DISPOSE OF GREASE

You may not need full sewer replacement simply due to accumulated grease. Even so, grease can affect your sewer lines over time enough to contribute to recurring clogs, drain backups, or sewer line blockages. Avoid issues with grease, which can cling to sewer line walls, by:

  • Having separate grease collection containers
  • Using drain strainers
  • Having a grease trap installed if you have commercial drains

DON’T OVERUSE YOUR DISPOSAL

Large, fibrous, or tough foods shouldn’t be put into your garbage disposal. Resulting drain issues could affect your sewer lines over time. Also, avoid placing inedible items that could cause drain problems into your disposal. Be equally cautious with greasy or fat-heavy foods.

DON’T IGNORE MINOR ISSUES

If you act early when you first notice a sewer-related problem, you may benefit from an approach to sewer repair that can resolve the issue quickly and affordably. In some cases, all that’s needed is a proper and thorough pipe cleaning if you’re noticing slow drains, foul odors, or other signs of a sewer problem.
