Find Helpful Drainage & Sewer Tips from Milani
There are a number of basic steps that can prevent costly repairs, including the following:
Proper Maintenance
There really is no substitute for having a plumbing company provide professional maintenance services for your home or business. Inspection, diagnosis, and service are the three steps to ensuring plumbing issues don’t become crises. Our experts handle these services using the methods below:
- Maintain detailed inspection checklist
- Use video cameras for close up inspection and detail
- Clean and resolve any clogs, material, or debris
- Use bio friendly and safe methods – if you don’t want it on your skin, do you want it in your drain and water supply?
Mother Nature will Win
Roots will grow no matter what, so the key is to maintain healthy drainage systems because unhealthy pipes are far more vulnerable to failure. Keep the plumbing repair bills down to a minimum by having your system inspected at least once a year.
Schedule Maintenance
Have drains checked once a year and gutters twice a year. Sump pumps and closed system drains should be inspected at least once a year with video equipment. Check the drains on a schedule and your budget will stay on schedule.
Professional Inspection
Have a professional inspect the drain and piping system using modern and electronic equipment designed to see inside the piping systems. Think of it like an x-ray for your home. Seeing inside the drains and the pipes makes all the difference in the world to catch big problems before they turn in to enormous problems.
Jetting
Regular washing or pressurized water treatment, known as jetting, is recommended service for proper system maintenance. As with all drainage and sewer projects, system cleaning should only be handled by professionals.
Clear Debris
Clear debris twice a year from external drains. Backups and clogs occur over time as debris degrades. Keep it clean and less chance of failure will occur.
Wash Drains
Regularly wash your homes internal drains with a disinfectant and hot water flush. And try not to dispose of any bulky items inside your drains, garbage disposal, or toilets.
