Signs that indicate your catch basin may need repairs or replacement include: pooling water around the basin, foul odors coming from the basin, cracks or damage to the basin structure, and slow drainage or blockages in the system.

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.

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.

As a licensed plumber, it is important to ensure that your gas lines are properly maintained and safe for use in your home by scheduling regular inspections by a qualified professional, checking for any signs of leaks or corrosion, and following all manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and usage.
