When it starts to get colder, to prevent big maintenance that can cost precious time and money this winter, it is vital to keep the health of your drainage system in mind. The sewage pipe is a sometimes forgotten but critical aspect of home upkeep for homeowners. To guarantee a safe sewer line in these colder months, follow these winter sewer tips.

Check Tree Roots regularly:- At any time of year, tree roots can be a sewage threat, but that doesn't mean it's any less necessary during the winter. Owing to cold or frozen soil and diminished sunshine, tree roots begin to delay in growth during the winter months, but sewage lines present a peculiar issue during this period.

Because of the daily flow of wastewater leaving warm houses that also leave behind warm soil and water vapor in the process, sewer pipes may draw tree roots. You have to be in touch with the Certified Plumbing company in order to avoid any problem caused by tree roots that get stuck in the pipes. Daily assessments of the sewer system will provide early insight into whether tree roots are harming the line or not. Taking care of everything will cause you fewer problems and also save a lot of money that you have to spend on the repairs.

Follow Safe Drainage Practices:- This time of year with more meetings and hot meals being made, it is important to be careful about how waste is disposed of at home. Make sure that the usual sink errors of pouring fat, oils and food waste down the sink are avoided.

Know the signs of a Frozen/Backed Up Sewer Line:- Pace is of paramount importance for minimizing damage and repair costs with any plumbing problem. Although in the Seattle zone, a frozen sewage line is not a high possibility, it is not unlikely, and backups will occur regardless. Be sure that the symptoms of a blockage are known:

• Slow drainage of drains, showers, or toilets
• Noises gurgling or bubbling coming from the sinks
• Foul, rotting eggs, odour from the sinks
