Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Sewer lines run underground, so knowing there is an issue is sometimes challenging. A sewer line can get damaged in many ways. Any type of damage can disrupt your plumbing system. Some of the many ways your sewer line can get damaged include the following:
- Tree root intrusion
- Clogged pipes
- Ground movement due to weather
- Age-related wear and tear
- Insufficient maintenance
- Incorrect design or installation
- Backup from the city’s main sewer line
Signs of Damaged Sewer Lines
It’s crucial to find sewer line issues as easily as possible to avoid severe damage. We work quickly to repair minor sewer line issues, but we may determine a sewer line replacement is your best option. When sewer line issues go unaddressed, they often become too severe to repair. While replacing your sewer line is typically more expensive than repairs, we cannot always adequately repair severe problems. It’s important to contact us as soon as you notice any symptoms of plumbing issues. Some of the signs you may have a damaged sewer line include the following:
- Slow-moving drains
- Multiple clogged drains
- Sewage smell on your property
- Gurgling sounds in the sink or toilet
- Unusual puddles of water
- Sewage backup in drains
- Visibly greener grass near the sewage line
What Is Tree Root Intrusion?
It’s surprising to many homeowners that they have tree root intrusion. Leaking pipes naturally attract tree roots that are in search of hydration. The tree roots slip through cracks and crevices to get into your sewer line. They continue to grow and begin to clog the pipe. Sewer line repairs are the best way to eliminate tree root intrusion.
How to Prevent Sewer Line Issues
The best way to help prevent sewer line issues is to perform preventative pipe maintenance. We inspect your plumbing system to determine if your sewer line has any problems. Our team will help prevent clogged pipes, broken sewer lines, and costly plumbing issues. Some other ways to prevent sewer line problems include the following:
- Avoid putting diapers, oils, cooking grease, and hygienic products down your toilet and drains.
- Know the location of your sewer lines before beginning a new construction project on your property.
- Avoid planting trees with large root systems near your sewage lines.
- Install screens in your showers, bathtubs, and sinks to catch debris.
Sewer Line Repair Solutions
We choose the best sewer line repair solution based on the severity of your issue. Clogged pipes with debris or tree roots can often be eliminated with hydrojetting treatments. We can also use a pipe relining technique that involves sliding a sleeve through your existing pipe to seal damaged areas. We can even use hydraulics to replace the existing sewer pipes by breaking apart the damaged pipe and using hydraulics to place a new one.
