Fall Plumbing maintenance tips to protect your sewer system

As fall arrives in North Carolina, many homeowners focus on raking leaves and preparing their HVAC systems. But what about your water and sewer lines? Seasonal changes can put hidden stress on your plumbing. At C&C Environmental Services, we help homeowners, businesses, and municipalities prepare for the months ahead with proactive maintenance.

🍂Clear Out Your Drains

Falling leaves can clog storm drains, outdoor drains, and even cause buildup in sewer lines. Regular cleaning and hydro jetting prevent blockages that can cause backups.

🔍Inspect Grinder Pump Systems

For homes on grinder pumps, seasonal maintenance is critical. Check panels, test alarms, and schedule inspections before heavy fall rains.

❗Watch for Warning Signs

Slow drains, foul odors, or gurgling noises should not be ignored. They’re often the first sign of sewer line trouble that can be solved with timely jetting or repairs.

🌨️Prepare Before Winter

Cold snaps in late fall and winter can worsen existing cracks or blockages. Addressing sewer issues now helps avoid costly emergency repairs later.
