The Effect of Rising Temperatures and Aging Infrastructure on Sewer Failures
TACOMA, WA / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2024 / With climate change affecting Washington, Hunt's Services, a renowned plumbing, HVAC, electrical and sewer service provider, cautions homeowners about the risks associated with aging sewer systems, even during dry summer months.

Recognizing the growing need for proactive maintenance, Hunt's Services is offering complimentary sewer inspections throughout September 2024. This initiative empowers homeowners to identify potential sewer problems before they escalate into costly repairs.
Climate Change: A Silent Threat to Your Sewer System
As temperatures rise, our aging sewer infrastructure is facing increasing strain. The ground expands and contracts, causing underground pipes to shift and become vulnerable to clogs and backups. Tree roots, fueled by warmer weather, are growing faster and more aggressively, further exacerbating the problem.
These issues aren't just limited to heavy rainfall events. They can happen at any time of the year, leaving homeowners facing a silent crisis beneath their feet.
Jason Hunt, founder, and CEO of Hunt's Services, warns: "Most local sewer systems were designed decades ago, long before we understood the realities of climate change. Now, these systems are deteriorating faster than ever, putting homeowners at risk of costly and stressful emergencies."
The High Price of Inaction
A minor sewer repair might seem manageable but ignoring the warning signs can lead to a much more costly problem. Full sewer line replacements can exceed $15,000, a financial burden few families are prepared to bear.
"We're dedicated to protecting our community from the rising costs and disruptions caused by sewer problems," says Faruk Oyebanjo, Director of Marketing at Hunt's Services. "That's why we're offering free inspections and crucial information to help homeowners in Seattle and Tacoma stay one step ahead."
A Call to Action for Washington Homeowners
Residents can take proactive steps to maintain their sewer systems, especially if their homes are over 50 years old. One option is to schedule a professional sewer inspection to identify any potential problems. Another is to invest in preventive maintenance through a program like the Hunt's Care Club Membership, which can help extend the life of a sewer system. Additionally, staying informed about how climate change is impacting local infrastructure can help residents make informed decisions about their sewer systems. Finally, upgrading to more resilient and modern sewer solutions can also help protect against potential issues.
