You know there's a sewer line leading to your property, but the exact location may be a mystery. All the indoor plumbing in your home runs to the main line, which then gets directed to either a septic tank or the city drainage system. This series of pipes helps maintain the plumbing system in your home. However, when serious issues occur, you may need to access the sewer lines under the ground.

As a homeowner, it's your responsibility to understand as much as you can about your property. This is critical when planning renovations or dealing with unexpected emergencies. To help you out, here are some of the easiest ways to locate your sewer line.

Know What You Want to Say and How You Want to Say It

Before you begin to design your flyers, it's important to know what you want to communicate. Gather all the relevant information that you want to promote and distill it down to what's most important and what's secondary. Prioritizing information is important, especially if you have limited space. It also helps to know how you want your flyers to look. Brainstorming creative ideas will make the design process go more smoothly. Think about styles and graphics and even the fonts you might want to use. Even if your finished product doesn't look a thing like your preconceived notion, having ideas ahead of time can help you.

Decide Which Service You Want to Use

There are so many options for creating beautiful custom flyers online, so you need to narrow down which website has the best options for you. If you're new to designing and creating flyers, certain sites have design-wizard programs that walk you through every step of the process. If you're an expert at creative work, you can find sites that have more advanced options and more freedom for you to design. Some sites are completely free for you to use, with all the tools and elements at your fingertips, while others require you to pay for certain features or create an account to use and save their services.

Design Your Flyer, and Have Fun Doing It

Now that you've gathered all your information and have selected the service you're going to use, it's time to get to work. Create your design, and add all the elements that'll make your flyer beautiful and memorable. Save space for the relevant information that you need to communicate as well. Dream big; it's easier to take elements off the flyer before you're done than it is to add things if your flyer looks sparse. As crazy as this sounds, you need to have fun designing your flyer. The enjoyment you get from being creative will show in your finished product.

Proofread, Then Proofread Again

Before you commit to your design, it's crucial that you proofread your flyer. There's nothing worse than a misspelling or bad information ending up in the printed product — you'll have to start over. Look over every element and all your information for anything that's incorrect or looks out of place. Then look at it a second time to make sure you're satisfied with it. There's no such thing as proofreading too much. Have a second set of eyes take a look at the flyer before you're done. Getting a second opinion for proofreading purposes as well as creative advice is best. You don't want to get too many opinions, but do have someone you trust give it a look and proofread it.

Save Your Design for Printing

Once you're completely satisfied with your flyer and are certain that all the information is correct, you're ready to save the design for printing. Make sure you save it in a format that's large enough for the detail of the printing to be crisp and clear. If you're printing your flyers yourself, make sure you have plenty of ink and paper so that you don't run out. Some online design services have options for printing, so consider letting a professional company do the printing work for you if it fits your budget and time constraints. If you're having a professional local printer take care of the finished product, make sure you know what format you'll need to send to them. After the flyers are printed, sit back and enjoy your finished product.
