What steps can I take to minimize damage while waiting for a burst pipe repair service to arrive?
Turn off the main water supply to your home to stop the flow of water. Open faucets to drain any remaining water in the pipes. Collect any leaking water in buckets or containers to prevent further damage. Keep the affected area well-ventilated to help dry out any moisture.
How can I prevent future sewer line damage after the repair is completed?
To prevent future sewer line damage after the repair is completed, consider the following measures:<br /><br />1. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet.<br />2. Do not pour grease or oil down the drains.<br />3. Regularly inspect and maintain your sewer lines.<br />4. Be cautious when planting trees near sewer lines to prevent root intrusion.<br />5. Consider installing a backwater valve to prevent sewage backup.<br />6. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners that can corrode pipes.<br />7. Properly dispose of household chemicals to prevent damage to the sewer system.
