Many different things can contribute to a sewer system backup. Sometimes, you can prevent or reduce your risk of sewer line problems by scheduling routine maintenance like sewer line inspections and sewer line cleaning. The most common causes of sewer system backups are:
- Blocked, clogged, or broken pipes.
- Tree root intrusions cause debris buildup, cracks, and breaks.
- Burst sewer pipes due to freezing and thawing of pipes.
- Damaged pipes are caused by heavy overhead traffic, nearby construction, or earthquakes.
- Backup from the city’s sewer line.
- Heavy storms and rainfall.
- Aged and worn-out sewer pipes.
- A poorly installed or designed sewer system.
- Flushing items other than toilet paper and waste down the toilet.
- Rinsing fat, oil, grease, paint, or other insoluble substances down your drains.
How We Repair Sewer Systems With Our Trenchless System
When you call us to repair a sewer system, we will first do a thorough video camera inspection of the sewer line. This helps us determine the location, cause, and severity of the problem. Next, we can discuss our best method to fix your sewer system backup. We use trenchless sewer line repairs, so we won't need to dig holes in your yard to uncover or repair the problem. This saves you time and money and preserves the health and beauty of your yard. It also means that our sewer system backup repairs are faster and less expensive. Here is how we complete trenchless repairs of sewer systems:
- Hydro Jetting - Our hydro jetting method can clean out even the most stubborn clogs deep within your sewer line. We use powerful blasts of pressurized water to break apart clogs and debris and then flush it into the main sewer line. We can then complete more permanent repairs of sewer systems.
- Pipe Lining - Using this trenchless sewer system repair, we insert a special, quick-hardening sleeve into the pipe. When the sleeve hardens, it creates a new pipe inside the old one. It seals up cracks and breaks and prevents future damage. Pipe relining is a trenchless repair for sewer systems.
- Pipe Bursting - If we can't use pipe relining, we'll use hydraulics to break apart the damaged pipes. We can then guide new sewer pipes in without digging trenches or holes.
