Sewer line damage can be caused by any of the following:
- Cast iron pipes suffering from corrosion and rust can eventually break down.
- If improperly installed, clay pipes can become brittle and crack in multiple areas.
- When water temperatures in PVC/ABS plastic pipes exceed the rated limits for these materials, they can suffer cracks.
Generally, any type of pipe—regardless of what it’s made of—can crack due to extreme inner (water) and outer (ground) pressure.

Possible Solutions for Broken Sewer Lines
Our team of friendly plumbing and sewer line repair experts can assess your pipes for cracks and damages in order to address what needs to be fixed with your sewer system.
We can help you with the following things:
- Pipe Relining: With this method, we replace pipes from the inside out. Our professionals can also line the existing sewer pipes with a “sleeve” that will prevent future cracks. First, we clean out the entire pipe, then we apply a lining that hardens in a few hours.
- Bursting: If your sewer pipe has too much damage, we might need to pull a new sewer pipe through the old one. With this technique, we use hydraulics to break up the damaged old one and replace it seamlessly with a brand-new pipe.
- Preventive Maintenance: It is important to do what you can to prevent sewer line damage from developing in the first place. With our regular inspections and drain cleaning services, you can make sure major debris and buildup are kept out of your pipes, helping you avoid cracks, clogs, or bursts.
