Residential Sewer Line Repair & Replacement FAQ’s

How Do I Know if I Need Sewer Line Repairs?

The initial step in sewer repair involves pinpointing the exact issue. Often, problems with the sewer system come to light during standard sewer maintenance appointments. Occasionally, our customers reach out due to repetitive backups or persistent sewer odors within their homes. It's during these service calls that the true magnitude of the issue becomes apparent. For instance, if our service professional carries out the process of rodding a sewer line and retrieves mud on his cables, it typically signifies a break in the line. Furthermore, during procedures like these, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI’s team might find shifts in the sewer lines, pinpointing the reason behind the malfunctions and highlighting the need for repairs.

What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

Sewer line damage can arise from a wide array of sources, including shifts in the earth, nearby construction activities, invasive tree roots growing through cracks, holes, and joints, and materials flushed down your drains. While your kitchen's garbage disposal may efficiently break down food waste for drainage, accumulated particles can still lead to blockages. Common culprits, such as hair, soap, toothpaste, shampoo, pasta, rice, chicken bones, and cooking grease all pose risks to your sewer pipes. These materials potentially lead to clogs as they gather inside your pipes. To prevent such blockages, we recommend simple preventative measures. For instance, you should scrape food scraps off your dishes and into your trash can before washing them in the sink and avoid pouring hot grease down your drain. Diagnosing the location and extent of sewer line damage requires the expertise of highly trained professionals. Our team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI is equipped to detect and address any signs of sewer line issues. If you've noticed potential problems or haven't had your sewer line inspected recently, don't hesitate to contact us.

Are Sewer Line Repairs Covered by Homeowner’s Insurance?

Standard homeowner's insurance policies seldom cover the costs of sewer line repairs or replacements. However, a specific industry has risen to fill this gap. With a brief online search, you can uncover numerous companies offering additional or supplementary insurance plans specifically for sewer line expenses. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI advises a thorough review of the terms and conditions before committing to any such insurance plan to verify it meets all your sewer line repair and replacement needs. It's worth noting that some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with their sewer line coverage due to unforeseen out-of-pocket expenses, such as pavement restoration and excavation fees.

How Much Does Replacing a Sewer Line Cost?

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southeast WI, we pride ourselves on offering our services at competitive rates. However, we understand that the cost of replacing sewer lines can be a concern for homeowners. It's important to note that no two sewer line replacement projects are identical. The cost of your project will depend on various factors, such as the extent of the sewer line that needs replacing and its overall length. Additional expenses may include the costs of excavation, landscaping restoration, and backfilling after trenchwork. Our team is committed to providing a precise estimate after thoroughly discussing the specifics of your property and sewer line needs.
