Keep Your Seattle Sewer Main Clear At All Times

As a property owner in Seattle, you already have a lot on your mind. There will be times when things like your sewer main might slip your mind as you go through the motions and checklists of daily life. However, keeping your sewer main clear is crucial as repairs can become costly. Westview Plumbing wants you to know that we have the maintenance and cleaning options to ensure your line is always in excellent condition.

Because sewer repairs can become such a pricey route to go down, there are several things that you can keep in mind to keep you from the hassle. To help avoid the need for sewer main clearing, be cautious about:

  • Putting food in drains: Although many kitchen drains have a garbage disposal, it does not mean putting copious amounts of leftover food down the drain. Some food waste is much heavier than other types of waste, so it will not flow throughout the sewer line as other things will.
  • Never flush non-waste items: Be cautious about what goes down bathroom drains and avoid flushing dental floss, wipes, sanitary napkins, and other non-waste items.
  • Maintain your roots: Some properties have trees or shrubs that grow close to the sewer lines. Roots can easily infiltrate minor fractures in the lines and cause blockages, sluggish wastewater removal, or a burst pipe.
  • FOG buildup: FOG stands for fats, oils, and grease, all of which can cause sewage overload. Putting these elements down your drains can make it easy for other waste and food items to stick to piping walls and harden within the sewer line.
