50% of home buyers call a plumber within one year of purchasing the home. While many of these calls are for routine maintenance, a number of them are for much larger issues, such as sewer line repairs.
Making decisions regarding sewer lines can be overwhelming, as there are considerable financial and time management factors. Check out this quick video on some of the most important dos and don’ts when it comes to making sewer line decisions.
DO: Call in a reputable plumber for annual cleanings & video pipe inspections.
Videos show exactly where and what the problems (or potential problems) are.
DON’T: Assume your pipes are strong enough to keep out tree roots.
