Sewer Maintenance Best Practices
- Avoid flushing wipes, feminine products, and non-degradable items to reduce clogs and protect your drain system.
- Watch for multiple slow drains or sewer odors as early signs your line may need an inspection before a full backup occurs.
- Address minor root intrusion or corrosion early to extend pipe life and keep more repair options open before conditions worsen.
