Issues That May Indicate Your Sewer Line Needs To Be Replaced<\/h2>\r\n
While out of sight and out of mind, your sewer line is one of the most essential features of your home. Over time, age-related deterioration, tree root infiltration, construction work, and general wear and tear can cause your sewer line to break down and disrupt water flow into the main sewer line.<\/p>\r\n
Some of the most common signs your sewer line requires repair or replacement include water pooling in the lawn, overflowing toilets, sunken areas within the landscape, noxious odors emanating from drains\/toilets, water discoloration, and a proliferation of pests in your yard.<\/p>\r\n
Common issues that can affect the integrity of your pipes and the proper removal of wastewater include:<\/p>\r\n
- \r\n\t
- Tree root infiltration:<\/strong> Tree roots can enter pipes through cracks or breaks. As the root grows, it eventually obstructs the pipe.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Sludge, sand, and debris:<\/strong> Over time, sludge, sand, soil, and other debris can build up within your pipes, thus restricting the free flow of wastewater.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Shifting soils:<\/strong> As soils expand and contract, the movement can cause pipes to separate and seals to break.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Construction work:<\/strong> The movement of a heavy vehicle, such as a crane, landscaping truck, delivery truck, etc., over the pipes can crush and crack sewer lines.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Clogs:<\/strong> Personal hygiene products, paper towels, grease, or “flushable wipes” can cause significant clogs. This creates increased pressure in the pipe, which can cause it to burst.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Age:<\/strong> Sewer lines generally last between 50 to 60 years. Whether the pipes are clay, PVC, cast iron, or steel, they will eventually wear out and fail.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\n

Our expert plumbers will thoroughly assess the condition of your sewer line to determine the most effective strategy for installing or replacing it in your home. When replacing your sewer line, one of our first concerns is verifying the existing pipe’s condition to confirm quality and code compliance.<\/p>\r\n
We can install various pipes, including cast iron, PVC, clay, galvanized steel, and more. We’ll help you select the optimal solution for your property’s conditions, budget, installation requirements, etc. For new construction, we’ll dig a trench to install the pipe, verify code compliance and flow rate, and then bury the pipe.<\/p>\r\n
The process is slightly different for existing homes. When replacing your sewer line, we can either dig a trench to remove it or perform a comprehensive sewer line replacement<\/a>. If the pipe is in good condition, we may use trenchless technologies to perform trenchless pipe lining<\/a>. This process entails cleaning the existing pipe and then inserting a cured liner to create a pipe within the pipe.<\/p>\r\n
