Nobody wants to think about it, but a backed-up sewer drain can end up causing you a lot of headaches, as well as costly repairs.
A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home found “more than half of plumbing drain system failures were the result of sewer backups. The problem costs on average $4,000 per incident after the insurance deductible was paid. Several simple actions can reduce your risk of plumbing drain failure.”
Ways to Reduce Damage and Prevent Drain Failure
Have a back flow prevention assembly installed into your sewer drain if your sewer system is connected to the city’s sewer system- a problem for older homes-or if you are located downhill or below street level.
More than half of plumbing drain system failures are the result of sewer backups.

Save Money and Tons of Frustration!
It is easy to neglect a waste management system, but the ‘Out of Sight, Out of Mind’ can lead to early deterioration and costly repairs. The fact is, the small price of a septic inspection and pumping the tank can avoid the thousands of dollars on repairs. If caught in time, many problems can be fixed easily and inexpensively, if not it’s like throwing money down the drain!
The waste management system in your home or business is a crucial component and requires maintenance for a healthy system. Taking a proactive approach to protect your investment is your best defense against sewer backups, clogged pipes, and foul odors.
