This all starts as an invisible issue, so the only way to have peace of mind is to be proactive. If your house is old or you recently purchased your property, have a professional perform a drain system health check. We’ll use a camera to do an inspection and alert you to potential problems. And don’t stop there. Stay one step ahead of tree roots with annual sewer line and plumbing maintenance. Yearly attention will keep your pipes intact and fully functional. If you’ve got a newer home (less than 15 years old), you can probably get away with spacing out your preventive maintenance every couple of years. And, if you’ve got big landscaping plans, figure out where your pipes are before you begin so you can plan accordingly.
