Once your sewer line has been repaired, the last thing you want is to face the same problem again. With proper care and smart habits, you can extend the life of your repaired line for decades.
Why maintenance matters:
Even repaired sewer lines are vulnerable to root regrowth, mineral deposits, soil shifts, and joint wear. Preventive care reduces the risk of recurring issues.
Best practices for maintaining a repaired sewer line:
- Schedule periodic camera inspections every 3–5 years
- Use hydro-jetting to clean out grease, sludge, and small root intrusions
- Avoid planting deep-rooted trees near the sewer path
- Don’t drive heavy vehicles or place structures above the buried line
- Watch what goes down the drain — no wipes, grease, or non-biodegradable items
Warning signs that may mean your repaired line needs attention again:
- Sluggish drains
- Gurgling sounds in fixtures
- Odors of sewage indoors or outside
- Unusual plant growth above the line
- Yard puddles or soggy areas
Choosing a maintenance partner:
A qualified sewer line provider should offer camera inspections, hydro-jetting, and an understanding of the specific repair method used on your line (whether lining, bursting, or replacement).
