Sewer Line Repair & Installation Services

As mentioned, older sewer pipes are prone to corrosion, clogs and tree root intrusion. This is a common problem that can be fixed with a sewer line replacement. Here are the most common signs you have a problem with your sewer pipes.

• Slow drains
• Mold buildup
• Difficulty flushing toilet
• Gas odor coming from drains or sewers
• Pools of waste in your yard
• Overgrown patches on your lawn
• Cracks in your foundation or sinkholes on your property

If you notice any of these problems, you may need a sewer line replacement. Call a professional plumber for an appointment and assessment.

There are a number of issues that can lead to your sewer pipes needing replacement, but here are the most common.

• AGE - Old iron pipes corrode after about 30 years
• TREE ROOTS - Tree roots seek out water sources, and if there's a break in your line, the roots will infiltrate the pipe
• FAT & GREASE - When you pour fat and grease from cooking down the drain, it builds up like cholesterol in an artery, which can cause backup and flooding

Digging up a sewer line is an expensive job, and everyone wants to save money on their plumbing costs. Depending on the cause of your sewer line problem, you may get by with a fix, however, that will only delay the inevitable.

When you have a tree root invasion, you can put copper sulfate down the drain which will repel the roots. This buys you some time, but in the end, you're going to need a main sewer line replacement. The bottom line is that when you have a major blockage, it's preferred to have the line replaced rather than repaired because the new line is stronger and will last longer.
