Causes of Sewer Line Problems

There are a few different factors that can contribute to, exacerbate, or cause sewer line problems. If all of the drains in your home begin backing up at once or you notice dirty, foul-smelling water in your sink, toilet, tub, or shower, it could be for one of these reasons:

• Sewer pipe rupture or breakage from soil erosion, heavy traffic, ground shifts due to earthquakes, or use of heavy construction equipment nearby
• Pipe corrosion that has caused the pipe to crack or break
• Leaking joints near the seals or sections between pipes
• A sagging sewer lines
• Tree root infiltration
• Flushing debris down the toilet, like baby wipes, cardboard, tampons, paper towels, and more
• Pouring grease, fats, or oils down the drain
• Lack of maintenance
• Improper layout, design, or installation of the sewer pipes
• Backup coming from the city’s sewer line

Our Sewer Line Inspections and Repairs

We specialize in trenchless sewer line repairs, so we don’t have to dig up your lawn or take down structures to get to your sewer pipes. We use an innovative plumbing video camera inspection to determine the location, cause, and severity of your sewer line damage. That will help us determine how to proceed with sewer line repairs, and we will explain your total sewer line repair costs before beginning work. We may use one or more of these sewer line repair methods:

• Pipe Relining Technique - We can give you new pipes from the inside out without having to dig up your yard. We line existing sewer pipes with a sleeve that hardens and prevents leaks, breaks, and holes.
• Hydraulic Technique - If pipe relining isn’t a possibility, we may recommend using hydraulics to break apart pipes. We can then pull in a new sewer pipe and seamlessly replace the old one without digging up your lawn.

Once we have completed sewer line repairs, we recommend that our customers schedule routine sewer line maintenance. Our Advantage Plan makes it easier for our customers to obtain plumbing maintenance services like sewer line inspections, drain cleaning services, and plumbing repairs. Preventative maintenance reduces your risk of plumbing issues like clogged drains, broken sewer pipes, and sewer system backups.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement

We won’t recommend sewer line replacement unless it is more cost-effective than sewer line repairs. If the damage to your sewer line is too extensive or if your sewer pipes are too old, poorly maintained, or poorly installed, then sewer line replacement may be a better option for you. We use a trenchless sewer line replacement method designed to cause as little disruption to your life as possible.
