SAN FRANCISCO — Host, Sarah Rutan: Avoiding costly sewer line repairs in the future often means taking proactive steps today. We’re in San Francisco with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Joel Ledesma of Atlas Plumbing &amp; Rooter to learn how you can prevent sewer pipe damage.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Joel Ledesma: Sewer pipe hazard number one, tree roots. Tree roots can be very aggressive in their search for moisture, especially during dry weather. Often sewer pipes are the nearest source of water. Tree roots are attracted by water vapor that escapes from the pipes to the cold soil surrounding them, especially near small cracks and loose joints. Once the roots have pried their way into the sewer system, they can fill the pipe completely with hair-like root masses. Tissue paper and grease and other debris in the sewage are caught in the roots, eventually leading to complete obstruction or even breakage of the sewer pipe.
Severe cause of root damage requires costly sewer replacements. Be aware of the location of your sewer pipe lateral on your property before planting any trees or hedges near the sewer pipe. And remember as a general rule, the tree roots will extend two and a half times the height of the tree.

Video: Testing Your Home&#8217;s Water Pressure

.
Every plumber should have one of these, a pressure water gauge, before they come to your house. You can easily ask a plumber, "Hey plumber, can you test my water pressure to see if it's too high or too low?" If your pressure is too high, that can result in leaky faucets, leaky water heaters, and wasting a lot of water, so it's very important to have your water pressure tested.
