The most common causes of sewer line problems include:
A leaking sewer line can cause extensive damage to your home and property. Keep an eye out for these five signs of sewer line distress:
A standard homeowner insurance policy generally doesn’t cover sewer line repairs (e.g. backups or leaks into your yard). To be sure, check with your insurer when you require sewer line service or repair.
When simple solutions such as drain cleaning no longer restore function to your plumbing, it may be time to replace your sewer line. A leaking sewer line in your yard due to tree roots or other breaches, or chronic corrosion due to age, often requires partial or complete replacement.
Look out for these signs: Slow drains, bad smells, backups, gurgling, and outside problems such as standing water, foul odors, and insects. These are signs you may need sewer line replacement.
Time required for a sewer line repair can vary significantly depending on the underlying problem, external complications and repair methods or parts required. Your job could be completed in a few hours, or it could be a more involved and take a few days.
There are several ways to replace a sewer line when necessary, one common option is trench less repair.
Trench less repair involves using a specialized spearhead to feed a new pipe into the ground, penetrating the existing line and breaking it into pieces underground. This process leaves the new pipe in place of the old one without the need for extensive digging. Trench less repair isn’t always an option, and in cases where it's not feasible, a traditional full sewer line replacement involving excavation will be required.
