  • Blockage: Grease buildup or a foreign object is restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
  • Corrosion: The pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing collapses in the line and restricting flow.
  • Bellied pipe: A section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
  • Leaking joints: The seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
  • Root in sewer line: Tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line and/or have damaged the line, preventing normal cleaning.
  • Off-grade pipe: Existing pipes are constructed of substandard material that may have deteriorated or corroded.

SIGNS YOU NEED SEWER LINE REPAIR

If you notice any of the following issues in your home, you may require sewer pipe repair or replacement services:

  • Dirty water backing up into your sink or toilet.

WHAT CAUSES SEWER LINE PROBLEMS?

Sewer issues can happen to homes of any age. It isn’t just old houses that experience problems with the sewer line. Some of the most common issues that result in needing sewer line installation or repair include:
  • ROOTS: Tree roots always reach for a fresh source of water, often bursting through sewer lines to access it. Never plant trees near your sewer line for this reason.
  • TEMPERATURE SPIKES: If the temperature suddenly spikes, it could cause the ground to shift and dislodge or disconnect the sewer line.
  • WORN OUT PIPELINES: Old, worn out pipelines will definitely need to be replaced at some point. Using chemical drain cleaners speeds up this process.
  • HUMAN ERROR: Digging in your yard with heavy construction equipment could result in striking a sewer line if you aren’t careful. Always be mindful of the location of the line.
