3 Causes of Sewer Line Problems

Your sewer line is made of durable pipe material, but they are prone to damage. Here are a few of the leading causes of sewer line damage:

Clogs From Foreign Objects

It's very common for your sewer line to get clogged from disposing of foreign objects down your drains and toilets. Your sewer line is fairly large in diameter, but fats, grease, oils, and other foreign objects can create a nasty blockage. Even flushable wipes can wreak havoc on your sewer line.

Tree Roots

Tree root intrusion is another common way your sewer line gets damaged. Trees need water; naturally, roots will find their way to a water source. Your sewer line carries wastewater from your home so it’s a prime water source for trees. Over time, tree roots may contact the sewer line and penetrate or break the sewer line. If you’re doing some landscaping, make sure you know where your sewer line is before planting trees.

Corrosion

Your sewer line pipe is probably made of galvanized steel, cast iron, PVC, or clay (usually found in older homes). Rust, magnesium, and calcium can corrode the pipe, and, over time, will weaken the pipe causing cracks and leaks. Water softeners are a great way to reduce mineral scaling in your pipes.

Regardless of what damaged your sewer line, we can help. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Branson, we have the necessary equipment, tools, and expertise to repair any sewer line issues.

How We’ll Repair or Replace Your Sewer Line

You might be asking, “How will my sewer line get repaired if it’s underground?”. Back in the day, the only way to sewer line pipes was by digging a trench around the pipe. Nowadays, we utilize trenchless methods for repairing sewer lines to help you avoid major yard excavation.

The first step to your Branson sewer line repair or replacement job is performing a thorough inspection of the pipe. We’ll perform various tests to determine the problem, so we know what we’re fixing. If it’s a clog, chances are we can clear that clog with a heavy-duty drain snake or a hydro-jetting service.

If your sewer line is damaged, we will try using either of these trenchless repair methods:

• Pipe Relining. Pipe relining repairs damaged sewer lines by inserting a flexible lining coated with epoxy resin into the existing pipe. When inflated, the resin hardens to create a durable inner layer, sealing cracks and weak points. This essentially creates a new pipe within the old pipe. This method is recommended for minor sewer line damage.
• Pipe Bursting. A bursting head is inserted into the old pipe, breaking it apart while simultaneously pulling the new pipe in its place. This method is ideal for replacing pipes with extensive damage or deterioration. However, it still reduces the need for traditional excavation and minimizes disruption to your landscape.

Sometimes, digging a trench is necessary, but this will be our last resort. Once we’ve inspected your sewer line and know what's going on, we’ll review your repair or replacement options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my sewer line is clogged?

If your sewer line is clogged, follow these steps:

• Stop Water Usage. Avoid using sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances connected to the sewer line to prevent further backups.
• Get Out the Ol' Plunger. If a toilet or drain is clogged, try clearing it with a plunger. If it's a minor clog, the plunger should work.
• Check Other Drains. See if other drains in your home are affected. If only one drain is clogged, it might be a localized clog which should be easy to fix.
• Call a Licensed Plumber. If the clog persists, if multiple drains are clogged, or if you have a sewage backup, call a licensed plumber. They can assess the issue and use appropriate tools to clear the clog.
• Schedule a Sewer Inspection. If clogs occur frequently, consider a professional sewer line inspection. We can identify underlying issues like tree root intrusion or pipe damage.
• Take Preventive Measures. Once the clog is cleared, take preventive steps like avoiding flushing non-flushable items down the toilet.

Remember, sewer line clogs can lead to messy, hazardous raw sewage backups. So, if your sewer line is clogged or you suspect it might be clogged, give us a call. We're experienced in diagnosing and cleaning sewer clogs.
