Tips for Preventative Sewer Line Maintenance
When your sewer lines are malfunctioning, this can interrupt your day-to-day life. Your sewer lines transport all your home or business wastewater away from your property. If they start to break down, you may notice many different problems occurring in and around your drains and pipes.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing can help you resolve those problems, but we encourage our customers to take preventative measures. Even after we have repaired or replaced your sewer line, here are some steps you can take to ensure the problems do not reoccur.
- Be Careful What You Put in the Drain: You must only flush certain things down the toilet or put certain things down the drain. There shouldn’t be anything else to flush besides human waste and toilet paper. Personal wipes, even ones marked flushable, can cause clogging in your sewer line, as can food scraps, cooking oil or grease, feminine hygiene products, and clumps of hair. The optimum way to practice preventative measures with your drains is to be careful what you put them down.
- Pay Attention: If you are concerned that your sewer lines are taking a beating or are on the verge of cracking, one of the smartest things you can do is simply pay attention to your surroundings. Ask yourself if your sinks are taking longer to drain, if there are unexplainable puddles all over your property, or if there is a sulfurous, rotten egg smell in the air. If so, you may be well past prevention and due for a sewer line cleaning.
- Run Your Water: If you think your sewer is clogged, one way to clear it out is by running a great deal of water through your pipes simultaneously. Once a month, fill your sink with water, then pull the stopper to let it all rush out. At the same time, flush all of your toilets at once. That way, you can push a powerful amount of water through your sewer pipes. The force of water might be enough to clear your blockage.
- Tree Roots: Many people have trees growing in their yards, which can be beautiful additions to your property. However, the root systems often grow into the sewer lines, causing pipes to be blocked, crushed, or even destroyed. While a tree can grow tall and healthy by feeding off your groundwater, the opposite effect can happen to your sewer pipes. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a professional snake the main sewer line. Then, in the future, focus on trimming down roots at least once a year to help prevent it from happening again.
