Causes of Sewer Line Problems

If you know the most common causes of sewer line problems, you can avoid them. You can reduce your risk of residential sewer line repair costs if you take preventative measures to avoid these primary reasons for sewer line problems:

• Tree roots that have grown into the sewer line, causing clogged pipes or cracked and broken pipes.
• Flushing items other than toilet paper and waste down the toilet. Never flush wipes, paper towels, facial tissues, cardboard, or other trash.
• Rinsing pieces of food or oil, grease, and fat down the drain.
• Using drain clog remover over and over even when it doesn’t work.
• A municipal sewer system backup.
• General breaks and cracks in the sewer line due to age.
• Frequent freezing and thawing of the sewer line.
• Heavy traffic or construction overhead, earthquakes, or heavy storms.
• Lack of maintenance of the sewer line.
• Improper installation or poor layout of the sewer pipes.

Residential Sewer Line Repair Methods

Because we want to get our customers’ sewer lines back up and running as quickly as possible, we offer trenchless residential sewer line repairs. Our trenchless repairs are not only faster but more cost-effective as well. We can often take care of sewer line repairs in just one day, depending on the extent of the damage. We first use a video camera inspection of your sewer line to find the location and cause of your sewer line damage. We can then use one or more of these trenchless methods to repair or replace a residential sewer line:

• Hydro Jetting - Our hydro jetting service uses pressurized water to flush debris out of your sewer line. If your sewer line is clogged due to tree roots, grease, and other build-ups, we'll break it apart and flush it down the line to the city's sewer system.
• Pipe Relining - If any part of your sewer line is damaged, we can use pipe relining to repair it. We use a quick-hardening sleeve to line the interior of your pipes. When the sleeve hardens and expands, it seals the pipe from the inside out. This not only fixes cracks and holes but prevents future leaks.
• Pipe Replacement - We recommend pipe replacement if the damage is too extensive for pipe relining. We use hydraulics to break apart the remaining sewer pipes and insert a new sewer pipe.

When we complete sewer line repairs, we recommend our customers sign up for our Advantage Plan. The Advantage Plan allows you to schedule routine plumbing maintenance to reduce your risk of future plumbing problems. If you want to avoid the cost of repairing your sewer line again, you should schedule preventive plumbing services like sewer line inspections, drain cleaning services, and plumbing repairs.

If We Need to Replace Your Residential Sewer Line

We can also use trenchless methods to replace a residential sewer line. We will do everything we can to complete sewer line repairs, but sometimes it's just not possible. If your sewer line is old, damaged beyond repair, or poorly installed, we will recommend residential sewer line replacement. If your residential sewer line repair costs are more or as much as sewer line replacement, we recommend installing a new sewer line. We use a similar method to our sewer line repairs: our Pipe Pull method. Using this technique, we make tiny holes at the beginning and end of your sewer pipes. We then use your broken, old sewer pipe to guide a new pipe into place. Our replacement pipes can last up to 100 years with proper maintenance and are also highly resistant to corrosion, rust, breakage, pests, tree roots, and chemicals.
