Whether you are getting traditional or trenchless sewer repair in Brookhaven, PA, it’s essential to prepare for a problem-free repair process. Taking a few steps ahead of time minimizes disruptions. It also makes the repair or replacement job smoother, more efficient, and more effective.

How To Prepare Your Home For Sewer Repair Or Replacement

The first step is to clear the work area around the access points. Know all the areas covered for the job and make sure it’s ready when technicians arrive. Keep out all obstructions, such as landscaping features, outdoor furniture, or vehicles. This helps the team set up quickly and begin working without delays.

Trenchless sewer replacement doesn’t need heavy digging. However, technicians still need access to specific areas such as the sewer cleanout or small entry and exit points for the equipment.

For affected sewer lines, you may need to stop using certain sinks, toilets, and drains during the whole repair duration. Use alternate fixtures and toilets. Traditional sewer repairs need the same preparations but with consideration for extra days.

Be Considerate To Neighbors And Household Members

It’s important to communicate with your neighbors, especially if there’s a shared sewer line or if the trenchless pipe repair work might cause temporary disruption to nearby properties. Know all details beforehand by checking in with your contractor. Know the extent of the work. Traditional excavation repairs will need extra considerations due to machinery and digging.

Let everyone concerned know about the timeline of the excavation or trenchless pipe repair ahead of time. You should also talk to the repair team about any potential disruptions to your water service during the process.

Prepare your home for any noise or potential vibrations. Though trenchless repairs are less disruptive than traditional methods, there may still be some minor disturbances. Make sure everyone knows the timeline and schedule ahead of time to prevent disruptions to daily life, work, or activities.

You need proper preparations and the right choice of technicians. Call the top sewer repair specialist in town for more than ten years, Advanced Drains and Underground Solutions.
