Checklists you can print today
Fill these in on a calm afternoon. When sewage is on the floor, you'll already know where the cleanout is, what to photograph and what to ask a licensed plumber before work starts.
- Sewage backup emergency card
Fill this card in on a calm day and post it inside a cabinet, on the fridge or by the electrical panel. In a backup, anyone in the house can follow it.
- Sketch your sewer line
A rough sketch of your sewer lateral, with cleanouts, trees and any located defects, helps every future repair and planting decision. Use graph paper or the back of this page.
- Plumber hiring checklist for a main line clog
Tick these off whether you are calling in the middle of a backup or planning a repair. Use it with any plumber you call, including us.
- Camera footage review worksheet
Sit with the plumber, or with your saved video, and fill in one row for each thing the camera shows. The finished sheet makes repair options and second opinions much easier to compare.
- Sewer repair quote comparison worksheet
Two sewer quotes can look very different on price and still describe different jobs. This worksheet lines them up item by item so you compare like with like.
- Sewer line maintenance calendar
If a camera inspection has shown roots, scale or a sag in your line, a simple calendar helps you clean it before it stops instead of after. A healthy line usually needs none of this.
- Sewer lateral checklist for home buyers
A general home inspection usually does not look inside the sewer lateral. If you are buying an older Fullerton home, this checklist covers what to ask and arrange before you close.
