What Causes Sewer Line Problems?
Sewer pipe issues are inconvenient at best and dangerous at worst. Here are some common reasons these sewer line leaks and backups can occur:
- Tree roots: When there’s low rainfall, tree roots can spread through the ground in search of water and sometimes break into sewer lines. This may cause severe damage to sewer pipes and lead to plumbing clogs.
- Corrosive soil: Acidic soils can lead to rust, which can eat away at sewer pipes and result in cracks and leaks.
- Improper sewer line installation: An improper installation of sewer pipes can lead to collapse, cracking or frequent backups due to grease build-up. In most cases, the only way to fix the problems is to have the pipes reinstalled.
- Sewage backup and blockages: Sewage backups can happen from time to time but if they’re too frequent, the problem could be your main sewer line.
- Foul odors: If you smell something foul, such as a scent of rotten eggs and sewage starts leaking out of the drains, it’s time to call a plumber.
- Slow drains: If you experience slow drains and common unclogging methods don’t work to solve the problem, you could be looking at a deeper blockage in the main line.
- Lush patches of grass: If your lawn is looking extra lush, it may not be a good thing. Sewage acts as a fertilizer and patches of grass in your lawn could be from a leaking sewer line.
- Our technicians can use video camera inspection technology to locate the source of the problem.
- Augers can be used to clear up clogs that are higher up in the system.
- We can also use hydro jetting technology to clear out more serious distractions.
- In some cases, we can use epoxy to fix minor cracks.
- More serious cracks may require replacement of the damaged section of the pipe.
