Reasons Your Sewer Line Needs Repairs
Sewer repairs become necessary for a variety of reasons and shouldn’t be put off. Like many of your pipes, wear and tear over the years impacts the health of your sewer, prompting occasional repairs. Other unexpected forces can also trigger sewer problems, such as bad weather, seismic activity, and soil settlement. The most common reasons for sewer repair include:
- Leaks: Sudden lush patches in your grass or standing water not caused by rain can indicate a leak in your sewer line that needs repair. Soil movement, extreme temperatures, or aging pipes all impact the integrity of your sewer line, causing leaks.
- Corrosion: Old pipes or pipes subjected to acidic soil can become corroded with rust, which weakens the pipe and makes it more vulnerable to blockages and external damage.
- Root interference: We love our trees and other flora, but plant roots pose significant threats to your plumbing and sewer line as they grow and search for nutrients. Plant roots infiltrating your sewer line can cause everything from minor blockages to complete disruption of your sewer line.
- Improper installation: Not everyone works to the high standards we do. Substandard materials, too-fast deadlines, or poor quality standards all contribute to a sewer system that doesn’t function properly or doesn’t meet your needs.
Signs of Sewer Distress
Over our 10 years in business, we’ve seen it all when it comes to sewer lines. Many of the common signs you need sewer repairs include:
- Puddles or extra-soggy spots in your yard or landscaping
- Sudden problems with pests like flies, cockroaches, rodents, and more
- Backed up sewage in your basement drain, toilets, or sinks
- Rotten, foul odors coming from your drains
- Mold on the walls
- Increasingly sluggish drains
- Gurgling or bubbling noises from your drains
Our Repair Techniques
The first step to repairing your sewer line is identifying the scope of the problem. We often start our sewer repairs with a video inspection of your pipes. This helps us find and diagnose the problem, as well as discuss repair strategies with you. We offer a variety of repair types, including traditional open-cut trench replacements, trenchless pipe repair, and pipe bursting, based on our findings and your budget. Both trenchless repairs and pipe bursting require less disturbance to your yard and landscaping, but traditional repairs may be needed if the damage is extensive, or the pipe size needs to be increased.
