Preparing Your Yard for Sewer Repair: A Homeowner’s Checklist
A little preparation makes sewer work faster, cheaper, and far less stressful. Run through this list the evening before our crew arrives.
1. Clear the work corridor
Move patio furniture, grills, toys, and potted plants at least 10 feet from the marked pipe path. We’ll mark it with paint after locating.
2. Mark what matters to you
Flag sprinkler heads, invisible-fence wire, landscape lighting, and prized plantings near the path. Tell the crew lead — we route around what we can.
3. Plan access
We need equipment access — usually a 6–foot gate opening minimum. Unlock gates and move vehicles from the driveway if we’ll cross it.
4. Protect the inside
For interior access jobs, clear a path to the basement cleanout and lay down the drop cloths we provide. Keep pets secured.
5. Talk to the neighbors
A heads-up about one day of equipment noise prevents 90% of neighbor friction. We’re typically in and out in a day for trenchless work.
