Fall Sewer Maintenance Tips

Fall has finally arrived, bringing a break from that scorching summer heat. Unfortunately, the fall and the colder months that follow can also bring some problems to your sewer system. As your expert in sewer repair services in Gastonia, NC, Next Level Pipe Lining shares some essential fall maintenance tips.

Prepare Your Pipes for the Colder Months

If you want to avoid sewer pipe line repair in the spring, you need to prepare the pipes to handle the cold of the winter months. Insulating the vulnerable spots of your sewer line can prevent avoidable breakages later on. Anywhere there is a cold place in your house, such as the basement, garage, or crawlspace, you should look to insulate the pipes there. This will help prevent frozen water from expanding and bursting those pipes when the cold weather comes in full.

Test Your Pumps and Drains

If you need sewer line repair or cleaning, the task is much easier to handle before the freezing temperatures come. You certainly don’t want that sump pump breaking down or a backed-up drain suddenly clogging once the ground is frozen solid. Your sewer line will be more efficient in the long run once you are thinking ahead.

Make Time for Smaller Tasks

Not every problem will demand you replace sewer line, but that doesn’t mean the problem won’t make life more difficult. Take the time to do the more mundane tasks, like cleaning out your gutters, checking your water heater, and cleaning out slow-draining drains. These simple little things you do can prevent small problems from becoming larger issues.

These tips can help you and your sewer line have a better, smoother flow during fall. Do you need sewer line replacement or repair? Next Level Pipe Lining is here for you. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
