While time and natural wear and tear can degrade any sewer system, there are ways to protect and maintain the system as best as possible.

In any of these scenarios, it is crucial to immediately enlist the aid of a professional to possibly repair or replace the system following a thorough sewer inspection.

It may be less for smaller properties, and more for larger. We work hard to offer the most affordable and competitive pricing on the market when it comes to sewer inspections.
Do I need more frequent sewer maintenance in the winter?
While problems or abnormalities within the pipes of our property’s plumbing system may occur without warning at any time of the year, winter is in fact a common time in which many sewer pipe problems can occur. You should always schedule regular sewer inspections, cleanings, and maintenance. However, in the winter it is perhaps more important than ever to be vigilant as to the condition of our pipes and to be diligent in the preparation of our systems for the harsher weather. Anyone with property in an extreme climate, in any season really, needs to be extra vigilant and aware when it comes to the state and condition of their sewer systems. Frequent sewer inspections in places like this can avoid huge issues.
What can happen if you fail to schedule sewer inspections or maintenance?
There is a wide variety of issues which may take shape and persist within the interiors of our sewer systems. If you fail to schedule routine inspections, these issues can go unnoticed and unresolved. In this case, issues get worse and become more disastrous and costly. These issues can include severe flooding, which can damage flooring, drywall, and other materials. Persistent and unresolved leaks can cause build up of moisture and mold, as well as damage the foundation. These are the reasons that frequent sewer inspections and sewer maintenance is crucial.
Do sewer inspections always lead to sewer maintenance?
Not always. In some cases, the sewer inspection may in fact reveal that the condition is not compromised and does not require repairs. However, it may still need cleaning or superficial maintenance. Other possible services beyond physical repairs may include hydro jetting to clean out the debris or build up. Thorough and preventative sewer inspections help to avoid costly damages down the line by letting us know what small cleanings or repairs may be applied and be of use now.

In this case, scheduling a thorough and professional sewer inspection is the best way to root out the issue and get it fixed before the build up or blockage leads to a larger issue like flooding or a leak which can bring with them greater damages and associated costs.
