Tips on Preparing Your Home for Sewer Line Repair

It may seem daunting to have your sewer line fixed. After all, it may require digging trenches, which can ruin your landscaping, yard, and sidewalk. But by hiring Farrell Plumbing for sewer repair services in Trinity, FL, you can expect minimal disruptions and a smooth-sailing process.

While we’ll do our best to finish the project without a hitch, it still pays to do your part in getting your home ready beforehand. Here are some tips to follow:

1. Clear the Area

First, remove any furniture, decorations, and other items near the work site. The sewer access points are usually near your driveway or landscaping, but in some cases, it’s in the basement or garage. Clearing the obstructions will help our team perform sewer pipe line repair safely and efficiently.

2. Shut Off the Water

Turn off the water supply in your home before sewer line repair begins. Doing so will prevent any potential flooding during the process. However, if the project will take a few days to finish, stock up on water and plan how you will go about your daily routine.

3. Prepare to Restore Your Landscaping

Although repairs are not as invasive as a complete sewer line replacement, we still need to dig the ground to access your pipes, affecting your landscaping. That said, plan ahead and set aside time and budget for post-work restoration. Rest assured that we will help with the clean-up, backfill any dirt we move, and do whatever we can to make the process easier for you.

4. Notify Your Family and Neighbors

Working on your sewer line can be quite loud. To avoid unwanted conflicts, inform your family and neighbors about the project in advance, so they can plan and adjust if necessary. You may also consider staying somewhere else until the project is done.

At Farrell Plumbing, we understand how overwhelming it is to handle a major project like sewer line work, which is why we’ll be with you every step of the way, from start to finish and beyond. Whether you need to repair or replace sewer line, we have you covered.
