Why Sewer Cleanout Access are Important to your Home!


Reliance Plumbing takes maintenance very serious and it is required in almost everything we own. For example a car needs a oil change every 3 thousands miles, and home owners often look past there sewer line. This can cause lots of damage to your home and hurt your pockets. When a sewer line is neglected roots and other build up from natural use can cause your drain lines to back up into your home. Sewer water contains a lot of bacteria that should be sanitized by a professional. But before the damage can be cleaned up, flow to your sewer line most be restored. And having a cleanout access outside of your home makes maintenance to your main sewer line a lot more convenient and safe. You will no longer have a big machine dragged into your basement or home. So by neglecting your line and not paying for simple maintenance every "year/two years" it can cost more in the long run. And when lines are not maintained it can cause further damage to the structure of your line. This happens when roots grow into the line from the pipe connections and grow big enough to break the pipe. So make sure you call your local plumber for simple maintenance that can save you lots of money and time.
