How Do Sewer Lines Become Damaged?

When your sewer line becomes damaged, it’s natural to ask, “How did this happen?” Well, there are many ways that a sewer line can become compromised, from freezing soil to tree root intrusion. Since your sewer line is buried deep below the earth, it can feel like it’s impossible to understand how it became damaged, but Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Peoria can help you diagnose the source of your sewer line damage and help you plan for avoiding that type of damage in the future. Some common reasons for sewer lines becoming damaged include:

• Poor maintenance
• Problems with the design, installation, or layout of your sewer line
• Tree roots growing into joints or cracks in your sewer line
• Sewer line clogs caused by grease, hair, toilet paper, and other debris
• Waste backing up from the city’s main sewer line
• The freezing and thawing of the soil surrounding your sewer line
• Wear and tear related to the age of your sewer line
• Earthquakes, shifting soil, or ground movement from nearby construction

How to Identify a Damaged Sewer Line

If your sewer line becomes compromised, you want to catch it as early as possible. When sewer line damage is left unrepaired, it will continue to get worse, and eventually, you will need to completely replace your sewer line. So, it can pay to be aware of the signs that your sewer line is damaged. Some of the signs of a damaged sewer line include the following:

• Low water levels in toilets
• Sewage backup in drains
• Multiple slow-flowing drains in your home
• Soggy sections of your yard, especially between your home and the city’s main sewer line
• Parts of your yard are greener than others
• The smell of sewage near your drains, in your basement, or around your yard
