What Causes Sewer Line Damage?
Sewer line damage is a more common issue than people assume. A home’s plumbing system runs day and night with water and waste exiting the structure through a sewer line. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rochester has provided exceptional plumbing service to requests throughout the area as sewer lines encounter issues and require repairs or replacements. Various causes can inflict damage to your sewer line and render your toilets, sinks, and other drains and fixtures unusable. Our technicians perform quick and effective residential sewer line repair and replacement services to restore your plumbing system so that it can move wastewater and materials away from your home. Generally, any pipe can break because of extreme internal pressure from running water and external pressure from the ground. We’ve listed some sewer line damage causes you should know about:
- Poor maintenance
- Poor sewer pipe installation, design, or layout
- Tree roots infiltrating your sewer pipe holes and joints
- Oil grease, sludge, hair, toilet paper, debris, and other material buildups
- Backup from a city’s sewer line
- Regular ground freezes and thaws
- Wear and tear from aging

Solutions to a Broken Sewer Line
Mr. Rooter® of Rochester's sewer line repair and plumbing experts will examine your sewer line cracks and damage and perform a timely sewer line assessment to determine the best solution. We do everything we can to avoid replacing your sewer line at all costs. Your home may have a unique sewer system and property layout, but every home has some basic issues we can address with timely and effective service options. We’ve listed some of the most common sewer line repair and replacement services we perform:
- Pipe relining – We use this method to give you new pipes from the inside out. Another option is lining your existing sewer pipes with a type of sleeve to prevent cracks in your pipes. We start this process by cleaning out your pipe and then applying the lining, which hardens in a few short hours.
- Preventive pipe maintenance – Regular pipe maintenance is essential because it helps prevent sewer line damage from happening in the first place. We regularly inspect and clean your drains to keep out significant debris and buildup from your pipes, helping you avoid clogs, cracks, and bursts.
- Burst pipe hydraulic replacement – Our plumbing specialists may need to pull a new sewer pipe through your old one if it sustains too much damage. We perform this trenchless technique using hydraulics to break apart your damaged pipe and replace it seamlessly with a new one.
