Sewer systems are the hidden lifelines of our homes, businesses, and cities. Though we rarely see them, their role in carrying waste safely away from our properties significantly helps public health and daily function. Unfortunately, many property owners neglect routine sewer maintenance—often until it’s too late.
The High Cost of Neglect
Failing to maintain your sewer system can lead to expensive repairs and property damage. Small issues like buildup or minor cracks can evolve into major problems, such as:
Sewage Backups
Blocked lines can cause raw sewage to back up into homes and businesses, creating hazardous conditions and requiring costly cleanups.
Structural Damage
Undetected leaks or burst pipes can erode soil beneath foundations, causing shifting, sinking, or cracking in buildings and paved surfaces.
Contamination
A damaged sewer line can allow waste to seep into the soil and groundwater, posing serious environmental and health risks.
Emergency Repairs
When a sewer issue becomes urgent, repair costs skyrocket—especially if excavation or replacement is required under paved surfaces or structures.
Preventative Maintenance Saves Time and Money
At SoCal Sewer & Water, we strongly encourage property owners to schedule routine sewer inspections and cleaning. Regular maintenance does the following:
- Remove buildup before it develops into a clog
- Detect root intrusion or pipe degradation early
- Maintain proper flow and function
- Extend the life of your sewer infrastructure
Investing in maintenance today can prevent disaster tomorrow.
