Rust, corrosion, and root intrusion all increase the chances of a sewer line clogging and then backing up. Soil settling can cause a sewer line to sag, creating a belly that traps solids and prevents the pipe from draining properly. Settling and shifting can also lead to a sewer line cracking or even cause part of it to collapse.<\/p>\r\n<p>Improper plumbing use is often a major contributing factor in sewer line problems as well. One mistake far too many people make is regularly flushing sanitary wipes and\/or feminine hygiene products. These products usually won&#8217;t clog the toilet, but they often get stuck within the sewer line and cause a blockage. A major blockage will result in the sewer line eventually backing up, and it can also lead to the line cracking or breaking.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"h6\">Signs that you need sewer line repair include:<\/div>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Frequent sewage backups<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Noticeable sewage odors inside the house or in your yard<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Patch of lush, overly green vegetation above the sewer line<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Toilets and drains are slow or frequently clog<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Sewer Line Replacement Options<\/h3>\r\n<p>The traditional method of replacing a sewer line requires digging a trench in the yard to access the pipe. A plumbing company can sometimes complete the work in a single day, but it could take several days. In certain cases, it&#8217;s possible to replace a sewer line without needing to do much excavation by using a process known as trenchless pipe bursting. This involves using an auger to break up the existing sewer line and then pulling a flexible piece of pipe into the void left by the old line. All the plumbers then need to do is connect the new pipe to the home&#8217;s plumbing and to the municipal sewer main. Trenchless sewer replacement is easier and often costs less. However, it&#8217;s generally not an option if the existing line is sagging or doesn&#8217;t have the proper slope.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Trusted Sewer Repair Specialists<\/h2>\r\n<p>Since 1986, AP Plumbing has been providing top-notch sewer line repair and replacement services to homeowners and businesses throughout Syracuse.
