What is Preventative Maintenance in Sewer Maintenance?

Preventative maintenance in sewer maintenance is the act of regularly checking and maintaining the sewer system to identify any potential problems before they occur. It involves routine inspection, cleaning, and repair of the sewer system to prevent any significant damage that may lead to costly repairs or even complete system failure.

Why is Preventative Maintenance Important in Sewer Maintenance?

• Reduces the Risk of Blockages and Overflows
• A common issue in sewer systems is the accumulation of debris, grease, and other materials that can cause blockages and overflows. These blockages can result in sewage backups and flooding, leading to severe health hazards and environmental pollution. Preventative maintenance involves regular cleaning and inspections to identify and remove any potential blockages before they cause significant damage.
• Whether you need street sweeping to prevent debris from entering your catch basins or our line-jetter to clear an obstructed line – you can be sure that Pro-Vac’s team of professionals has the knowledge and tools to keep your sewer system optimally running.
• Improves the Lifespan of the Sewer System
• Sewer systems can last for decades if properly maintained, but neglecting the system can significantly reduce its lifespan. Routine inspections and repairs can prevent minor issues from escalating into major ones, increasing the system's lifespan and reducing the need for costly replacements.
• Pro-Vac’s CCTV team can monitor the damage from above ground – and give you an accurate assessment of your entire system. Should there be any leaks, Pro-Vac’s Grouting Division can likely repair it (again… from above ground). Be sure to check out our blog on Grouting here.
• Saves Money in the Long Run
• Preventative maintenance may require upfront costs, but it can save you money in the long run. Regular cleaning and inspections can identify minor issues before they become major ones. And with our Preventative Maintenance Program, your property will be uniquely assessed, so you can easily budget for it. 
• If you don’t regularly maintain your sewer system, major (and costly) problems could arise. A fine from the city for not having your system up to code. A patron of your business slipping and falling on ice because water isn’t draining properly. The cost of these types of situations far outweigh the cost of a monthly or quarterly maintenance plan.
• Increases the Effectiveness of the Sewer System
• Regular maintenance can improve the efficiency of the sewer system, reducing the risk of system failures and improving the overall performance. It can also prevent issues such as foul odors and backups that can cause significant disruption to daily activities.
