Home / Tips On Preparing Your Property for A Sewer Pipe Installation
Sewer pipes are bound to become damaged and would eventually require repairs, or even a replacement. If you notice any signs of a problem with your sewer lines, it’s important to call a plumber in Oroville, CA right away for help. After a full inspection, our technician will be able to tell you if you need repairs or replacement for your sewer line.
If it turns out that you’ll need a sewer pipe installation, let our plumbing company walk you through the process of getting your property ready for sewer line repair.
1. REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS
The plumbing services will go along more smoothly if the area is clear of obstructions prior to the actual start of the project. These “obstructions” include vehicles, outdoor furniture, toys, and other large objects. This will give our crew plenty of space to work.
2. EXPECT NO WATER
Getting your sewer line replaced can be a challenging process, especially if you need it as an emergency plumbing service. Some contractors may take up to three days to complete a job. It’s advisable to plan ahead knowing you may be without water during some parts of the project.
3. PLAN TO DO SOME RE-LANDSCAPING
Although sewer line repair is not as invasive as a complete pipe replacement, it still often requires a minimum amount of digging to avoid damaging the surrounding area. This means once the plumbing repairs are completed, you may have to fix the landscaping in the area. In many cases, it may be as simple as cleaning up leftover debris.
4. CONSIDER REMOVING TREES
Large trees in the area can make it hard for the plumbing company to complete repairs. This is because the roots can infiltrate the pipe system in search of water and nutrients. Needless to say, having trees near your sewer pipes can cause issues such as cracks, leaks, blockages, and breaks. So give your new sewer pipes a fighting chance by considering relocating trees in the meantime.
