It’s true that it’s easy to forget what goes down our drain but as responsible homeowners, we should be aware that all that we flush may greatly affect our sewer line in the long run. Keep in mind that sewer pipes are only designed to dispose of your wastewater, human body waste, and toilet paper. So how can you maintain a smooth flowing sewer line?
Below we’ve provided the 3 best ways to maintain a sewer line:
Look for tree roots that could sprout up and wreak havoc on your pipes. Make sure to examine your sink plumbing carefully for leaks and cracks which could cause potential damage to your property over time.
By calling a professional to drain clean your sewer line regularly, you’ll likely avoid costly repairs caused by ruptures. Experts do not advise the use of chemical drain cleaners to fix severe blockages.
Fat, oils, and grease buildup in the sewer pipes is the number one cause of backups. To prevent this from happening, scrape all food sauce and dressing in the trash before washing. You can run cold water before, during and after running the garbage disposal. Stringy foods like celery, banana peels, corn husks, to name a few should be avoided in the garbage disposal as they are very hard to grind and may possibly cause clogs.
