Homeownership calls for many responsibilities, including sewer cleaning. It’s important to schedule this service because it can prevent small issues from growing into larger, more complicated concerns. And because those sewer lines aren’t visible to the naked eye, it’s especially critical to ensure there’s nothing going on beneath the surface.

As a general rule of thumb, your sewer should be cleaned at least once every two years. That’s assuming there are no existing problems, however. If you notice a few of these issues, you might need to contact a plumber for a sewer cleaning and inspection even sooner:

  • Grease Buildup: If your pipes seem slower than normal and you have a tendency to rinse cooking grease and oil down the drain, you may have a blockage. A grease trap will help reduce buildup so you don’t have to call for emergency plumbing services.
  • Root Penetration:Peninsula, OH sewer cleaning Trees require moisture to thrive. If they lack an adequate water supply, they’ll rehydrate from the small holes and weak joints in your sewer pipes. This may cause the tree’s roots to fill up the pipe and cause severe blockages. If left to grow, the roots will cause the pipes to break. Regular sewer cleaning can halt this possible threat before it becomes worse.
  • Sagging Pipes: Also known as sewer “bellies,” sagging pipes occur for several reasons. Sometimes it’s because of a large blockage, and in other cases, it’s because there isn’t a strong bed to support the sewer line. When you schedule regular cleaning, your septic repair professional is far likelier to discover the problem sooner and prevent a more costly repair.

These issues may result in pooling water, slow drains, and even foul odors, but can easily be prevented by scheduling a cleaning appointment. If you’re concerned your drains aren’t performing well, contact a septic repair expert as soon as possible.
