Why is Sewer Maintenance Important

Commonly, sewer upkeep entails utilizing a sewer electronic camera. A sewer system can help professionals provide an accurate assessment to identify the source of a plumbing issue. By completing this assessment, the plumber can take preventative measures to fix small problems before they become larger issues.

When you invest in a plumber and their professional sewer line inspections and maintenance, where is what you can expect to receive as a benefit:

  • Avoid obstructions as well as other debris
  • Reduce pipe related stresses
  • Protect your family, business, and employees from threatening biohazards
  • Prevent clean up and costly repairs from neglect.


Normal sewage system upkeep aids guarantee you're compliant with Scottsdale neighborhood pipes codes, as well. This can save you from having to manage large fines or various other penalties.

What is a Sewer Backup?

A sewer backup is a problem that can occur when there is a blockage in the sewer line. This blockage can cause sewage to backup into your home. Sewer backups can cause extensive damage to your home, and they can also be a health hazard.

There are several causes of sewer backups, including root intrusion, broken pipes , and clogs. Sewer backups can also be caused by weather-related events, such as heavy rains or flooding.

If you are experiencing a sewer backup, it is important to take action to prevent further damage. You should also take steps to clean up the mess and repair the damage.

If you have a sewer backup, here are some things you should not do:

  • Do not touch anything that has come into contact with the sewage.

  • Do not try to fix the problem on your own.

  • Do not flush any toilets or run any water appliances.

  • Do not allow children or pets to come in contact with the sewage.

It is important to call a professional to fix a sewer backup. Sewer backups can be tricky to fix, and they can cause further damage if they are not repaired correctly.

The cost of repairing a sewer backup will vary depending on the extent of the damage. Sewer backups can cause extensive damage to your home, so it is important to get an estimate from a professional before you begin any repairs.

If you are experiencing a sewer backup, don't wait to take action. Take steps to prevent further damage and call a professional to fix the problem.

Sewer Backup Prevention


Sewer backups can be a real hassle, not to mention that smell. If you're having problems with your sewer, then chances are you're trying to figure out how to fix a backup sewer issue. In this article, we'll give you some tips on how to prevent a sewer backup.

The most important thing you can do to prevent a sewer backup is to keep your sewer line clear of debris. This means not putting anything down your drains that aren't supposed to go down there, such as grease, fat, or food particles. You should also avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach to clean your drains - these chemicals can actually damage your sewer line.

You can also help prevent a sewer backup by having your sewer line inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. This will allow you to identify any potential problems early on before they have a chance to cause a backup.


What Not to Do When You Have a Sewer Backup

When you have a sewer backup, it's important to take action right away to prevent further damage. However, there are some things you should NOT do when you have a sewer backup:

  • DO NOT pour any kind of liquid down the drain. This includes bleach, drain cleaner, and hot water.

  • DO NOT flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. This includes sanitary products, paper towels, and baby wipes.

  • DO NOT use any electrical appliances in the area of the backup. This includes washing machines, dryers, and vacuum cleaners.

  • DO NOT try to clear the blockage yourself. This is a job for a professional plumber.

Sewer backups can be a real hassle, but by following these tips you can help prevent one from happening in your home. If you do have a sewer backup, don't panic - just call a plumber and they'll take care of the problem for you.

I really appreciated Manolos attitude and the way he had patience for all of my questions and never seemed like he was rushing or annoyed with me. He took the time to reexplain it to my husband when he got home. I didn't feel pressured into spending more money or like he was trying to just sell me stuff. I felt like he really took his time and that I was his priority. Thank you for having great service.
