Drain Maintenance
Think of everything that goes down your drains and down the toilet. You push the handle and flush it away to the sewer and beyond. You'll never see that nasty waste again.
That is, until your sewer backs up!
A sewer line backup is a huge mess. All of the waste leaving your home everyday can suddenly find its way back in. Everything you flush won't go to the sewer and beyond because it won't be able to get there. And that's only if it clogs.
If your sewer is backed up, the water and waste you flush away has nowhere to go. It hangs around in your pipes, creating more and more pressure on you system with each flush. Eventually, that pressure can have serious consequences on your plumbing system. Gaskets in your fixtures can be blown out causing expensive repairs or replacements, and water and sewage can creep back into your home.
Clogged drains and sewer backups can be a homeowner's worst nightmare with sewage leaking into you home, methane gas creeping in, and a system that's all clogged.
But you can avoid these problems. Practice preventative maintenance with your plumbing system, and you'll avoid these homeowner headaches.
