Preventing the Mess
You don’t have to go through the awful mess of a sewer backup. You can have us come by to install a protective device called a check valve or backflow valve. Your home might already have one of these, but if not, this gadget can save you lots of worries and sewage backup cleanup. When water travels in the wrong direction in your sewer or water line, the check valve recognizes it and closes. This forms a wall between the sewage and your home. Blocked from entering, the sewage backs up inside the sewer where it belongs. You do need to clean the valve periodically. This helps it work properly over the long term.
When you landscape your home, place your planting, whether bushes or trees at least ten feet away from the sewer line going to your home and the neighbors’ sewer lines. These are typically marked in the yard. You can help yourself and your neighbors by ensuring that roots can’t grow into the lines.
