Preventing your home’s drainage system from backing up keeps you from potentially having to clean up minor and major flooding. Luckily, there are many preventative steps you can take to make sure the worst doesn’t happen to you.

Calling a plumber to inspect your pipes on a regular basis assesses the wear and tear on them by checking your exposed pipes’ lengths, fittings and connections. Make sure you know and are being cautions about what you are flushing down your toilets. Items such as facial tissues, feminine hyigene products and paper towles cause obstructions in your pipes. This can lead to plumbing backups or ovverflow. Additionally, keep your drains and sinks clear by consistently cleaning around and inside the drain.

To prevent sewage backups, regular maintenance, inspection and mindfulness of objects being flushed aid in warding off these issues. You can also install backwater valves. These act as a barrier between the public sewer line and your home’s drainage system. This allows your water to flow out and not back in.

You can also use landscaping techniques to hinder sewage problems. Avoid planting trees with aggressive root growth; also, keep a safe distance from your sewage line when landscaping. If you have questions, have an emergency, or have anything in between happening to your pipes, it’s always best to call you r local plumbing company.
