Essential Information About Sewer Line Damage
Your sewer lines, residing deep underground, don't have any shielding from potential damage caused by surrounding or internal threats. Whether it's tree roots encroaching or soil shifts, there are numerous ways these lines can deteriorate. Once a sewer line is compromised, it can wreak havoc on your entire plumbing system, affecting toilets, sinks, drains, bathtubs, and showers. Common culprits for damaged residential sewer lines include the following:
- Insufficient maintenance
- Tree roots invading your sewer line through joints or cracks
- Incorrect design, layout, or installation of your sewer line
- Your city’s main sewer line backing up
- Clogs from built-up sludge, hair, debris, grease, and other waste
- Earthquakes, nearby construction activities, and shifting soil
- Are-related wear and tear
- Sudden freezing causes the ground to harden
Signs Your Sewer Line Is Broken or Damaged
When your sewer line sustains damage, it impacts your entire home's plumbing system, including pipes and fixtures. It's crucial to detect sewer line issues as early as possible. While minor problems can usually be fixed quickly and easily, they can escalate into major issues that require replacing your residential sewer line if left unattended. The residential trenchless sewer line replacement costs at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Tri-Cities are transparent and competitive to ensure our customers get the services they need at fair prices. Nevertheless, replacing your sewer line is consistently pricier than repairing it when initial damage appears. By recognizing the early signs of a damaged sewer line, you can save significantly on costs. Below, we've listed several signs of a malfunctioning sewer line:
- Less water in your toilets than normal
- Slow-flowing shower, bathtub, or sink drains
- Sewage flowing back through household drains
- A sewage smell floating around your yard or close to drains, particularly those in your basement
- Notably greener grass patches growing by your sewer line (found between the closest public sewer main line and your home)
- Flooding in your yard, even during dry weather
Professional Solutions to Your Sewer Line Problems
When faced with a cracked or damaged sewer line, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Tri-Cities offers many wise solutions to repair or replace your existing sewer line. Modern replacement techniques are often less intrusive than homeowners have come to expect, allowing our team to install a new sewer line without the need for extensive trenching and tearing up residential properties. In cases of a clogged sewer line, a simple hydrojetting and cleaning service may suffice. However, severely damaged sewer lines might require bursting and replacement. Our methods for repairing and replacing sewer lines include the following:
Pipe Relining
Repairing your sewer line through relining is very similar to replacement, utilizing the existing pipe as a framework and support. By inserting a special sleeve within your sewer pipe, we effectively seal any cracks or leaky joints. The newly applied lining solidifies within a few hours, ensuring it's ready for immediate use.
Preventive Maintenance
Prevent clogs, cracks, and burst pipes by scheduling regular sewer line maintenance at your residential property. Our highly skilled service professionals will conduct a comprehensive system inspection and perform any required cleaning to keep your sewer line clear of obstructions.
Hydraulic Pipe Bursting
This innovative trenchless pipe replacement method involves using a hydraulic pipe bursting device to create space for a new sewer line. After bursting your old sewer line, we can seamlessly insert the new line into the existing location, saving you time, hassle, and a ruined yard and landscaping.
