There are millions of us living in our beautiful homes who do not understand what goes on underneath it all. We have pipes that do our bidding when it comes to disposal and we have never heard their name. One of the most important pipes that many of us are not aware of is the lateral sewer pipe. For all of the waste water that we have from our bathroom, kitchen and in virtually every part of our homes, there is a lateral sewer pipe that is in charge of disposing the garbage and waste from our home. So what is the lateral sewer pipe? It is the pipe that carries your wastewater from your sinks, toilets, laundry, showers, drains and anything that has water waste in your home to the main pipes which are usually constructed just outside of your home in the streets. The lateral sewer pipe is the most important pipe in your home as it dispenses your daily water waste into a main sanitary sewer line.

Making sure to keep your lateral sewer pipes from cracking or leaking is the key. Make sure to not have tree roots growing too close to your home. These roots can grow underneath your home and possibly crack your lateral sewer pipes. When this occurs, your water in your shower, laundry, sings, toilets and basement will begin to clog and you will experience built up waste water that will not quickly drain. This leads to calling an expensive plumber to fix the problem of a cracked or leaky lateral sewer pipe. And we all know that if a plumber needs to be called, that this will cause serious pain to your pocketbook. Understanding how important your lateral sewer pipe is to the upkeep of your home is the first step.

The second step is making sure that it is taken care and will not crack or leak. There are millions of tons of waste water going through your lateral sewer pipe. Dirty water from every part of your home. From your bathroom and kitchen sinks, your laundry room, to the basement which you do not want to be filled with clogged waste water/ For every part of your home that you need to be kept clean and dry from clogged and dirty waste water, remember to keep checking your lateral sewer pipes to make sure they are not cracked.

Your family will thank you and so will your later sewer pipes that help with water clogs.
