Where to Find Sewer Line Repairs in Lafayette, LA

How Do Sewer Lines Become Damaged?

Residential sewer lines become compromised more often than you might suspect. They are underground and constantly exposed to hydrostatic pressure, shifting soil, and tree root intrusion. These factors, and many others, can damage your sewer line without your knowledge. Any damage to your sewer line can cause your toilets, sinks, and drains to become unusable. When you call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette LA, we will do more than simply fix your plumbing. We will help you diagnose the source of the damage and give you recommendations for preventing future issues. Some of the most common sources of sewer line damage include the following:

• Insufficient maintenance
• Improperly installed, designed, or laid out sewer lines
• Tree roots growing into cracks or joints on your sewer line
• Accumulated oil, grease, sludge, toilet paper, hair, and other debris
• Backup from the city’s main sewer line
• Age-related wear and tear
• Shifting soil from an earthquake or nearby construction

How Can I Tell If My Sewer Line Is Damaged?

Sometimes it can be tough to know when your sewer line has become damaged. Sewer lines are buried underground, between 18 inches and six feet deep. So, it’s not like you can just give them a quick visual inspection. However, repairing a sewer line when it just begins to have an issue is much more affordable than waiting until it is unavoidable. Often, unrepaired issues can compromise the entire sewer line and result in the need to replace it altogether. Some of the most common signs that your sewer line is damaged or broken include the following:

• Low water levels in your toilet
• Sewage backups in your toilets or bathtubs
• Drains that begin flowing slower than usual
• Flooding in your yard, even when it has not rained
• Noticeably greener sections of your lawn, especially near your sewer line
• An unpleasant smell in your basement or around your yard
