Regular maintenance is key to preventing your sump pump from becoming clogged or overwhelmed during heavy rainstorms. Make sure to clean the pump and the pit regularly, check the discharge pipe for any blockages, and test the pump periodically to ensure it is working properly. Additionally, consider installing a backup power source in case of power outages during storms.

A clogged drain can affect water pressure in your home if it is causing a blockage in the plumbing system. This can lead to reduced water flow and lower water pressure in your fixtures.

Investing in a video camera sewer and drain inspection for preventative maintenance of your plumbing system can help identify potential issues such as clogs, leaks, tree root intrusion, and other problems before they escalate. This proactive approach can save you time and money by addressing issues early on and preventing costly repairs or emergencies in the future.

When deciding between trenchless sewer repair and traditional methods for sewer line issues, factors to consider include the extent of damage, location of the problem, cost, time required for repair, and potential disruption to landscaping or property.

Avoid using duct tape, electrical tape, or any type of adhesive tape to temporarily fix a burst pipe. These materials are not suitable for repairing plumbing leaks and may not hold up under pressure. Instead, use a pipe repair clamp, pipe repair tape, or a rubber patch specifically designed for temporary pipe repairs.
