Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Saint Augustine, FL

Various factors can cause sewer line damage, such as time, homes built before 1970 that still have cast iron sewer pipes that may have corroded or cracked due to moving or shifting earth, construction in a nearby area, tree roots, and materials you let run down the drains in your sink, toilet, tub, and shower. The garbage disposal your kitchen sink features breaks down food and waste to let it flow down the drain with the water. However, those waste particles can still accumulate inside your pipes and cause issues. Elements like soap, hair, shampoo, toothpaste, rice, pasta, cooking grease, and chicken bones travel through your sewer pipe, may build up, and pose potential risks to your plumbing’s welfare. Clogs can develop and block water and waste as these materials build up instead of flowing to your local sewer system. However, clogs are sometimes preventable by carrying out simple measures like scraping food off your plates and into a garbage can before rinsing the residual materials down your sink drain. Furthermore, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Saint Augustine urges you never to risk your drain’s clear channel by pouring hot grease down it. While drain cleaning can clear these obstructive materials, it takes a seasoned professional with adequate industry training, like our team members, to assess your sewer line damage’s severity and location. We encourage you to get in touch with our business if any signs of a sewer line or drain issue show themselves or if your sewer line hasn’t had a professional check in a while.

It’s uncommon for a typical homeowner’s insurance policy to include sewer line repair or replacement services as part of its coverage. However, an industry has emerged that does cover this particular home service need. A quick and painless internet search can reveal at least a half-dozen companies that provide secondary or supplemental insurance policies to cover sewer line-related repair or replacement costs. You can acquire these policies for about $20 a month on average, and they offer benefits of up to $5,000 a year. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Saint Augustine strongly advises homeowners to go over one of these plans’ fine print before purchasing this type of insurance. Reading through the details will verify that it covers all the necessary sewer line repair and replacement expenses before you spend any money. Unfortunately, some households haven’t been happy with their sewer line coverage purchase due to additional expenses they were required to pay out of pocket, like pavement restorations and excavation costs.

While Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Saint Augustine’s comprehensive services come at competitive prices, we’re well-versed in our customers’ concerns over the cost of replacing or rehabilitating their sewer lines. Honestly, any sewer line job will differ from all others in some way, so its overall cost is contingent upon many factors, such as how much of the sewer line we will need to replace, repair, or rehabilitate and its total length. Other factors influencing a final sewer pipe rehabilitation cost include potential excavation costs, replacing landscaping, and performing backfilling after finishing trenchwork. An entire house-to-street sewer line replacement can be costly. So, all your options from replacement to coating and lining should be carefully evaluated because re-lining and coating can eliminate the need for excavation and damage to your yard and landscaping.
