How can I prevent sewage damage in my home?

To prevent sewage damage, make sure to avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper down the toilet, and keep grease out of your drains. If your drains are made of dated materials like cast iron or terra cotta, replace them as soon as. you are able. Regularly inspect your plumbing for leaks and consider having a professional check your sewer lines if you notice any slow drains, gurgling or backups. It’s better to be proactive than to deal with a messy cleanup later!
