A sewer line’s primary function is to push out all the wastewater flowing through your property. A malfunction in the system can cause all types of problems to arise throughout your home or business.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing can help you find a rational solution to your sewer line’s malfunctions. We also recommend that our customers take preventative steps to make sure these issues do not happen again. Once we have fixed up or replaced your sewer lines, here are some important steps you can take in the name of prevention:
- Pay Attention to Your Surroundings: Sometimes, the only way to notice a problem with your sewer lines is to look for it. You shouldn’t neglect your sewer lines in any way, and taking extra care to pay closer attention can only help. You might notice that your drains are a bit slower. You may also notice a bizarre smell coming from your drains or your yard. Puddles of water could even be appearing all over your property. If you notice these things, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing so we can figure out what’s causing them.
- Flush Responsibly: Being reckless with what you flush can lead directly to problems with your sewer lines. Apart from organic human waste and toilet paper, you shouldn’t be flushing anything else down the toilet.
Anything else, like scraps of food, wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, or cooking grease, can cause clogged drains, which can lead to problems in the sewer lines. Being aware of the things you flush down the toilet or shove in your drains can be a useful preventative measure in and of itself.
- Root Systems: Trees can be a beautiful complement to one’s yard, but the root systems often cause serious issues with the sewer lines. Many times, the trees’ root systems grow through the pipes, causing the pipes to be cracked, crushed, or even ripped open. Trees can grow tall and strong by feeding off the wastewater inside those pipes but at the expense of the system.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing can help find the source of the crack and trace the root system to the tree that’s causing the problem. You may want to focus on trimming down the tree roots so this doesn’t happen again.
- Run a Lot of Water: A great way to solve and prevent clogs is to run a large amount of water through the pipes at least once a month. One day a month, fill all your sinks with water and then let it all go at once while also flushing all your toilets. The sudden influx of water will surge through your sewer lines and could clear out any significant blockages that might be building up.
Even if you take these preventative measures, sometimes these issues are inevitable. If you encounter another problem, don’t hesitate to contact us.
