Preventing Sewer Problems In Your Los Angeles Home Or Commercial Property

Here at Schuelke Plumbing, we want to help you save money and prevent costly sewer problems from arising in your home or office. You may not realize that you can play a part in keeping your sewer system in good repair.

Keep grease out of your drains. This includes grease from bacon, hamburger, and anything else you may be preparing. Instead, pour the grease into a milk carton and let it harden. Then it can be taken out to the trash. You can also pour the grease into newspaper and then take it out to the trash.

Be careful about what you flush down your toilets. The only paper product you should ever flush is toilet paper. When it comes to handy wipes, tampons, napkins, diapers, and paper towels, throw them into the trash.

Los Angeles Sewer Line Replacement

As your home or commercial building ages, it is more likely that you will need to replace your sewer lines. Some of the problems that arise are damaged pipes due to shifting soil and settling, corrosion that has caused collapses in the line and restricted flow, leaking joints that allow water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe, and root infiltration that has damaged the line.

The plumbers and technicians at Schuelke Plumbing are trained to make this situation as easy for you as possible, and to let you know exactly what is going on so that you can make a decision based on having all of the information right in front of you.

Sewer line replacement doesn't have to mean destroyed yards and landscaping, torn up driveways, or devastated parking areas. Ask us about our trenchless sewer repairs and see if this technology is right for you.

Septic Tank To Sewer Conversion - Reasons To Do This From An Investment Point of View

Converting your home from a septic system to a sewer system is an important consideration. Here at Schuelke Plumbing, we are ready to discuss this and explain exactly how and why it is a good idea for many reasons.

Even if you have a swimming pool, retaining walls, and mature trees and other vegetation, we can still complete this process in about 3-5 days. Once the final connection is made to the existing sewer line, the septic tank must then be pumped dry, a hole bored through the tank, the top crushed, and then filled to grade with dirt.

Connecting to sewer will more than likely increase your home's value when you are ready to sell. Most buyer's will expect you to be on sewer, if it is available, or to pay to have it down after they purchase. There is also no maintence, unlike that required by a septic tank system.

Many cities will not permit repairs to a septic system when sewer is available. You can also expect your city to refuse a room addition, swimming pool permit, or other remodeling if you are on septic, because of problems associated with pollution, saturation, and subsidence (homes sliding down the hillside). Cities also like to receive the revenue from the sewer fees that are charged.

Contact Schuelke Plumbing today to find out how you can convert from a septic tank system to sewer in a way that suits your needs.

Clogged Sewer Lines - Schuelke Plumbing To The Rescue

When your sewer lines are clogged, this becomes your main focus until your plumbing and sewer repair specialists can be on the scene. In properties that are considered to be older construction, more than about twenty years old, there are three main causes for clogged sewers. These are:

~ excessive mortar left at soil pipe joints

~ root intrusion from trees and plants

~ broken or burst pipes

A broken pipe or pipe that has burst will allow foreign matter to enter the drainage system, leading to clogging. In newer construction, clogged sewers may be the result of poor design or construction. If the wrong fittings were used, or too little slope in the drain run was allowed, the result can be serious clogging.
