How To Prevent Backups

5/27/2020 (Permalink)

Water and sewer backups are very common and can leave many homeowners with thousands of dollars worth of damage. Although backups are unavoidable in some cases, there are things that you can do to lower your chances of experiencing one. Here are six tips that could save you from breaking the bank:

  • Maintain your sewer lateral
  • Dispose of grease properly
  • Dispose of paper products properly
  • Consider plastic piping
  • Correct illegal plumbing connections
  • Consider a backwater prevention valve

If you do experience a water or sewer backup, it is important that you address it as soon as possible. Although the backup itself will be costly, the amount of damage it produces racks up very quickly if the cleanup doesn't take place in a timely manner. Our crew knows that time is of the essence and has the equipment and experience to help!
