Dealing with Sewer Problems in Your Brooklyn Home

Nobody wants to deal with a backed-up sewer line during sweltering summer heat. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the health of your sewer system to help avoid expensive repairs.

Signs of Sewer Trouble

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to check for trouble. Installing drain catches can help prevent hair and other debris from clogging your system. Also, check the speed of draining. If water drains slowly, you try to snake the drain but avoiding using drain cleaner. The chemicals can do more harm than good. If all else fails, call a professional plumber to help.

Other problems to look for: Check for issues flushing the toilet or for pooling water in your yard. You won’t have any trouble noticing the worst kind of sewer problems, though. Once everything backs up, your nose will tell you it’s time to call in the professionals. The experts at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning can troubleshoot sewer issues, quickly diagnosing any problems, and repair or replace pipes and sewer lines.
