Let\u2019s face it. Sometimes, we get a little lazy and we don\u2019t do things by the book. Sometimes, our indifference and bad habits can come back to bite us, especially with a sensitive and delicately balanced system like the home sewer. Here are some typical bad home habits that can cause sewer issues, and some tips for avoiding them.<\/strong>

Flushing Foreign Objects<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your sewer is designed to handle organic waste and toilet tissue, not other discarded elements. People often flush things like cotton swabs, baby wipes, and feminine hygiene products, but those foreign objects tend to catch and build up in the sewer line, leading to clogs and backups. Stick to what your system was designed for and you shouldn\u2019t run into any issues


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digging Deeply<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether planting a tree, building a fence or outbuilding, digging a plot for a garden, or letting kids burn energy with an impromptu backyard treasure hunt, there\u2019s a chance of hitting water lines. In most cases, water lines are at least two feet beneath the surface of the soil, but settling earth, landscaping changes, or inaccurate measurements can reduce that depth considerably. Besides, it\u2019s not unheard of for children to hatch overzealous plots to dig into the center of the earth. Breaching these lines can cause major issues with erosion, flooding, and even overwhelm the public sewer system. Public sewers can back up into your home and cause big problems.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding issues with buried lines is as easy as calling 811, the utility location service. They\u2019ll tell you where gas, electricity, and water lines are so you don\u2019t cause yourself the headache of flooded basements or no running water.<\/strong>

Blissful Ignorance<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most people, the sewer is out of sight and out of mind. Until trouble arises, that is. We understand that a sewer isn\u2019t the most fun or exciting part of home chores. But it\u2019s an important and central element of the well-being of your home and your family. Have your fixtures and lines checked every year and a half or so\u2014especially in advance of expected heavy storms. That way, you\u2019ll catch small problems before they become big problems and stay on top of your sewer\u2019s health.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n
