Signs that indicate your sewer line needs maintenance include slow draining sinks or toilets, gurgling noises coming from drains, foul odors coming from drains, sewage backups, and pooling water around the sewer line.

Some common causes of burst pipes include freezing temperatures, corrosion, high water pressure, and physical damage from construction or shifting soil. Regular maintenance and insulation can help prevent these incidents.

To prevent clogs in your drains and maintain their cleanliness, you should avoid pouring grease, oil, or food scraps down the drain. Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris, and regularly flush drains with hot water and vinegar to break down buildup. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage pipes.
