After trenchless pipe rehabilitation, it’s important to follow basic maintenance steps to support long-term performance. Working with a trusted provider like E.R. Plumbing Services helps make maintenance simple and stress-free. With the right care, your new liner will stay in excellent condition for years.
Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals
Chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes, even lined ones. After a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) installation, use only mild, non-corrosive products for cleaning. Rely on enzyme-based drain treatments if necessary, and do not flush solvents, bleach, or caustic materials into the system.
Schedule Regular Inspections
Although CIPP installations are durable, regular inspections help catch early signs of buildup, debris, or minor blockages. Professional plumbers can use camera inspections to verify that everything is functioning as it should. E.R. Plumbing Services recommends periodic checks for homes with frequent drain use or tree root concerns.
Use Proper Drain Habits
Flushing wipes, grease, or foreign objects can lead to blockages even in a newly lined pipe. Stick to good drain habits—dispose of grease in the trash, use sink strainers, and avoid flushing anything other than waste and toilet paper. These practices help preserve the flow capacity of your CIPP-lined pipes.
Watch for Changes in Drain Performance
If you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or foul odors, schedule a professional evaluation. These signs may indicate a buildup or obstructions in the line. E.R. Plumbing Services offers diagnostic services that can address small issues before they become serious.
Keep Tree Roots Under Control
CIPP lining offers a strong barrier against intruding roots, but aggressive root systems may still cause shifting or stress to pipes over time. Monitor trees near your sewer lines and consider root maintenance treatments if your property is prone to growth around the pipe system.
