sewer maintenance

Underground pipe care

Sewer maintenance is the work of keeping underground wastewater systems functional—inspecting pipes, clearing blockages, repairing cracks, and preventing backups.

Municipal sewer maintenance crews handle everything from routine cleaning to emergency repairs when lines collapse or overflow: The city blamed the flooding on deferred sewer maintenance.
