1. How do I know if my sewer lines are at risk during an earthquake?

Older sewer lines made of rigid materials like clay or cast iron are more vulnerable. A professional plumber can inspect your system to assess its condition and recommend upgrades.

2. What are seismic-resistant sewer lines?

Seismic-resistant sewer lines use flexible materials and reinforced joints to withstand ground movement during earthquakes, reducing the risk of damage.

3. How often should I inspect my sewer lines?

Annual inspections are recommended, especially in earthquake-prone areas. Regular maintenance can catch issues early and prevent costly repairs.

4. Can I retrofit my existing sewer lines for earthquake resistance?

Yes, retrofitting with flexible pipes, reinforced joints, and seismic shut-off valves can significantly improve your system’s resilience.
