Your sewer line is the main conduit for waste and wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. Regular maintenance helps avoid clogs, backups, and other costly issues.
Signs of Sewer Line Problems
- Slow drains throughout the house
- Unusual noises from plumbing fixtures
- Foul odors emanating from drains
- Water pooling in your yard
Preventative Maintenance Tips
- Regular Inspections: Have a professional inspect your sewer line every 1-2 years.
- Avoid Chemical Cleaners: These can corrode pipes and damage the sewer line.
- Proper Waste Disposal: Be mindful of what goes down your drains and toilets.
DIY Maintenance Vs. Professional Services
While homeowners can manage basic maintenance, such as avoiding harmful chemicals, more complex tasks, like inspections and repairs, should be handled by professionals.
