As a homeowner, it’s best to anticipate disasters before they happen. Your sewer lines are hidden, and it can be hard to tell when a seemingly minor clogged drain can become a major threat. Regular maintenance through sewer cleaning will help keep your system operating smoothly.

According to Taylor’s Drain & Sewer Service, Lincoln, NE, residents should schedule a sewer cleaning every 18 to 22 months. During these services, a plumber uses high-pressure water jetting to remove built-up residue in your pipes. 

Aside from annual maintenance, there are several other situations that warrant a scheduled cleaning. If there is a foul odor coming from the drains, there might be a backup that is causing raw sewage to overflow.

Likewise, if you hear a gurgling sound coming from the drains, or water is frequently backing up into your home, you should schedule a sewer cleaning sooner. These are two additional signs you have a clogged line.

If there are multiple trees on your property, you should schedule these services more frequently. Roots are a major cause of backups and will continue to grow back after they’re cut. By clearing this new growth out regularly, you minimize the risk of major damage to underground piping. 

When a clog goes unaddressed for too long, it can cause result in costly cleanup and repairs. Hire a rooter service to clear the clogged drain before it becomes a major issue. Taylor’s Drain & Sewer Service uses CCTV camera technology to get a visual of what may be causing your system to back up.
