Essential Facts About Sewer Line Damage
Plumbing specialists place your sewer lines deep underground, but their position under your lawn doesn’t protect them against many sources of damage. Your sewer lines are susceptible to damage from tree root intrusion, shifts in the soil, and many other threats on and around your property. When your sewer line sustains any type of damage, this issue can negatively affect your home’s entire plumbing system. Toilets, drains, sinks, bathtubs, and showers suffer functional issues that can ruin your daily life at home. We’ve listed several common sewer line damage causes that homeowners deal with every day:
- Insufficient maintenance
- Various types of waste causing clogs, including hair, toilet paper, sludge, grease, and debris
- Tree roots infiltrating your sewer line’s joints or cracks
- Incorrect sewer line installation, design, or layout
- Your city’s main sewer line backing up
- Earthquakes, nearby construction activity, and shifting soil
- Age-related wear and tear
- Ground hardening from sudden freezes
Clear Signs of Sewer Line Damage
When anything damages your sewer line, the damage impacts your entire residential plumbing system. Because of this, your best action is to catch sewer line issues as early as possible to get professional solutions. We can typically repair minor problems with less work and a lower cost, but unaddressed sewer line issues can grow into significant issues that require a more extensive residential sewer line replacement replace. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg’s residential sewer line replacement costs are competitive and reasonable, considering the work going into this service. However, a sewer line replacement is always more costly than repairs when your sewer line shows the first signs of damage. Being aware of a damaged sewer line’s early warning signs can save you a lot of money. Some common indications of an improperly working sewer line include the following:
- Slow-flowing shower, bathtub, or sink drains
- Sewage flowing back through drains
- Less water in your toilets than usual
- Flooding on your property, even when the weather is dry
- A sewage odor in your yard or close to your drains, typically in your basement
- Patches of significantly greener grass growing by your sewage line (between the closest public sewer main line and your home)
Effective Solutions to Sewer Line Problems
When your sewer line has cracks or damage, we have several repair and replacement options to resolve this issue. Many modern replacement methods aren’t as invasive as you may assume, such as running a new sewer line without digging trenches. In some situations, we may only need to clean your clogged sewer line with hydro jetting. However, in other cases, our team may need to burst and replace a severely damaged sewer line. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Wheelersburg offers repair and replacement options for damaged sewer lines fitting a home’s unique needs, such as the following:
- Pipe Relining – Relining your sewer line is similar to replacing it, except this method uses your current pipe as structural support and to guide the lining. We effectively seal all leaky joints and cracks by sliding a sleeve through your pipe. After applying your sleeve, the new lining hardens in a few hours and will then be ready to use.
- Preventive Maintenance – Regularly scheduled sewer line maintenance can effectively prevent cracks, burst pipes, and clogs. Our service professionals carefully inspect your system and carry out all necessary cleaning to eliminate all buildup in your sewer line and prevent obstructions.
- Hydraulic Pipe Bursting – We can replace your pipes using this cutting-edge trenchless method. We make way for a brand-new sewer line by driving a hydraulic pipe bursting device through your sewer line and then inserting the new pipe into the same location.
