Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line failures can occur over time or suddenly. The key to knowing whether your sewer line requires repairs is to pay close attention to the signs that something is wrong.

When an issue arises, prompt attention is vital because damaged sewer lines can crack your foundation, destroy your landscaping, and cause considerable discomfort in your home.

If you detect any of these issues, we recommend scheduling a sewer line inspection without delay:

• Sewage backups: Sewage backups into drains, sinks, toilets, or tubs can occur when the sewer line is clogged or damaged.
• Noxious odors: Noxious odors can build up in your sewer line as sewage and other debris decompose within the line and allow bacteria to proliferate.
• Slow drainage: Slow drainage can indicate tree root infiltration, damaged pipes, and clogs that require prompt removal.
• Lush spots: Lush areas in your yard indicate broken pipes or leaking seals. Noxious odors and a proliferation of pests often accompany this problem.
• Gurgling: If you hear gurgling while flushing toilets or draining sinks, it can mean flow is restricted through your sewer line. This can be caused by tree root infiltration, clogs, broken pipes, and other damage.  

Trench Sewer Line Repair

While trenchless repairs are highly popular because of their speed and lower cost, there are times when traditional trenching is necessary, specifically when the pipe damage is extensive or if the underlying cause of the damage requires excavating to resolve.

When we use traditional trench techniques, we strive to protect landscaping and hardscaping from damage. We’ll thoroughly mark and prepare the site and perform the required excavation with care and precision. We’ll excavate the damaged pipe, repair or replace it, test all seals and confirm pipe integrity, then fill the hole and replace landscaping.

Our team knows it can be tempting to perform DIY sewer line repairs. However, we strongly advise against this. There’s an inherent risk of suffering personal injuries, and it’s easy to damage sewer lines and other underlying structures, including electrical wiring, sprinkler systems, etc.

Performing the required repairs properly also necessitates strict adherence to code requirements, the proper tools, and expert knowledge of industry-approved sewer line repair techniques. DIY repairs don’t sit well with home inspectors and prospective home buyers, so it’s best to leave sewer line repairs to the professionals.
