Some Pro Tips for Sewer Line Longevity

No one likes to deal with a sewer repair or, worse, a replacement. Fortunately, the sewer line installation is designed and built to last, sometimes up to 100 years. Plus, used carefully and sheltered from external stressors, the sewer line should not require frequent repairs.
If you want to make the most of your sewer line, then consider these pro tips:

• Do not flush anything other than toilet paper, pee, and poo.
• Keep rice, pasta, fruit seeds, and fibrous foods out of the kitchen sink.
• Do not pour used fats, oils, and greases into the drains.
• Avoid using chemical drain cleaners. Go with natural cleaners instead.
• Plant trees and build structures sufficiently distanced from the sewer line.
• Rinse drains with hot water weekly and with vinegar and baking soda quarterly.
• Schedule a sewer line cleaning once every couple of years.

When to Schedule A Repair?

How do you know it is time to call Rooter Hero for a Burbank sewer line repair? After all, the sewer line is several feet underground.
Frankly, we advise homeowners and property owners have their sewer system and plumbing system professionally inspected. This is the best way to catch issues before they become problems.
Still, you should pay attention to signs of trouble as well. Indicators include foul odors from drains, slow drainage and gurgling sounds, and water or sewage backups. More serious red flags include patches of overly green grass, sinkholes and rancid puddles in the yard, and insect and rodent infestations.

What About a Replacement?

You probably need to replace your sewer line only once in your lifetime, granted it was properly installed and maintained. Still, accidental damage can pull that date closer. If you find you are scheduling frequent repairs or your sewer line is over 50 years old, then it may be time to consider a replacement.
Homeowners and property owners who want to avoid the destructive digging involved with traditional replacements can go with a trenchless sewer line replacement instead. Our pipe bursting and pipe lining techniques are minimally invasive. Call Rooter Hero to learn more.
