Tips to prepare for winter months:

𝙄𝙉𝙎𝙋𝙀𝘾𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙀𝙒𝙀𝙍:

The winter months can overwork your sewage system because most people remain indoors most of the time. Fall is the best time to clear any shrubs and trees that lie dormant around the sewer. Also, clear all the tree roots that have grown during the summer and spring seasons.

You can also snake your sewer line to avoid a possible smelly and sticky situation. If you have had some sewer problems in the past or would like to have some preventative maintenance tasks done, you can schedule a sewer inspection with your plumbing contractor.

That steady drip, drip, drip of a fixture symbolizes money going down the drain. In fact, a leaky faucet typically wastes up to eight gallons of water per day, while a running toilet can waste 200 gallons per day. Fix small leaks promptly before they become big—and costly—problems.

If your faucets ever have a leak do you know where your water shut off valve is located? Be sure to know this information in the event of an emergency leak.

You Should Know Some Of The Signs Your Sewer Line Is Failing:

SlOW DRAINING
If the water in your sink and other plumbing is slow going down the drain, a sewer pipe might be damaged. If you’re lucky, the problem might just be a clogged pipe. However, if other drains are experiencing problems, the clog is likely much deeper in the sewer line. Some of the things that can cause this include tree roots, cracks in the pipe, and flushed objects clogging the pipe. At worst, this could lead to backed-up sewage coming back up the pipes.

HIGH WATER BILL
If you notice that your water bills are steadily rising and you haven’t changed your water usage much, you might have a sewer leak. Higher water bills are often a sign that there’s a leak draining your water somewhere. You can trust Alliance Plumbing to find and seal up the cracks causing your heightened water bills

BAD SMELLS
Functional sewer pipes are airtight, so if you’re noticing foul smells coming from your drains, your yard, or around the house, a pipe might be cracked. Alliance Plumbing can fix or replace that damaged pipe and keep your property smelling fresh.

POOLS OF SEPTIC WATER
A big sign something is wrong with your sewer line is if you find water where it shouldn’t be. If the sewer line needs repairing, standing pools of foul-smelling water can show up in your house or in your yard.

LOW WATER PRESSURE
Your home’s plumbing is sensitive to changes in water pressure and it requires a careful balance to work properly. If your sewer line gets damaged, your home’s water pressure will drop and your plumbing won’t work as effectively. If this happens, call us so we can fix and inspect your system.

GURGLING PIPES
It’s normal for your pipes to make a small amount of noise when water is running through them. However, if you’re hearing loud gurgling noises coming from your pipes when the water isn’t running, it’s likely caused by trapped air emanating from a crack in the plumbing.

Animals attracted to your yard.
If one of your sewer pipes is leaking, the smell coming from your yard and the pools of septic water might attract unwanted guests. Rodents and insects might be attracted to the smells or the opportunity to use the stagnant septic water for breeding.

UNUSUALLY GREEN LAWN
Are parts of your lawn looking particularly green and lush this year? Don’t be so quick to praise the new grass seed. Sewage leaking from your pipes makes great fertilizer, but it’s a fertilizer you don’t want your garden exposed to. Eventually, the bacteria in the water will ruin your lawn and garden.

CRACKED FOUNDATION
The last symptom, but an especially worrisome one. If you leave your sewer line damage unchecked, it might cause structural damage to your home. Some of the more extreme symptoms include cracked foundation and even sinkholes. This is a rare symptom for anyone who is good at maintaining their plumbing, but you should call for a professional immediately if you notice your foundation is cracked
