  • Although hidden deep underground, your sewer lines face various threats that can lead to damage. Whether it's the intrusion of tree roots or shifts in the soil composition, numerous factors can compromise the integrity and functionality of your sewer line. Once this critical component is compromised, the repercussions can extend throughout your entire plumbing system, impacting everything from toilets and sinks to drains, bathtubs, and showers. If you notice any warning signs, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette, IN is ready and willing to provide expert assistance. Some common causes of sewer line damage include the following:

    • Inadequate maintenance
    • Flawed installation, design, or configuration of your sewer line

    • Blockages due to grease, sludge, hair, toilet paper, debris, and other refuse

Signs Your Sewer Line Is Damaged or Broken

When your sewage line is damaged, it impacts your entire household plumbing system. Because of the profound impact of the damage, it's essential to detect sewer line issues as early as possible. Minor problems are usually fixable, but if left unattended, they can escalate into substantial issues necessitating the replacement of your residential sewer line. Our residential sewer line replacement costs are competitive and reasonable. However, replacing your sewer line is consistently more costly than repairing it at the first sign of damage. By recognizing the early warning signs of a damaged sewer line, you can save a significant amount of money. Below, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette, IN outlines some indicators that your sewer line is malfunctioning:

  • Reduced water levels in your toilets
  • Backflow of sewage through drains
  • Slow drainage in showers, bathtubs, or sinks
  • Yard flooding without rain
  • Areas of unusually lush grass along your sewage line
  • Sewage odor in your yard or near drains, especially in the basement

Solutions for Your Household Sewer Line Issues

When faced with a cracked or damaged sewer line, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette, IN offers various repair or replacement solutions. Modern methods for replacement are often less intrusive than people may expect, such as installing a new sewer line without the need for trenching. For minor issues, a clogged sewer line can benefit from hydrojetting and thorough cleaning. In cases of significant damage, a sewer line may require bursting and replacement. Our services for sewer line repair and replacement encompass a range of effective solutions. We've described some of them below for your benefit:

Pipe Relining

Repairing your sewer line through relining is similar to replacement, utilizing your current pipe as a framework and support. By inserting a sleeve through the pipe, we effectively seal any cracks or leaks in the joints. Following the application of the new lining, it solidifies within a few hours, rendering it immediately usable.

Preventive Maintenance

Prevent clogs, cracks, and burst pipes by scheduling regular professional maintenance services for your sewer line. Our skilled service professionals will examine your entire sewer system and conduct any required cleaning to keep your sewer line free from obstructions.
