The Common Sewer Problems We Fix

Sewer line issues can arise from a variety of factors, and understanding the most common problems can help you address them quickly. Below are some of the typical issues we encounter and resolve:

Tree Root Invasion:

Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines in search of moisture, causing blockages and even pipe cracks. Our plumbers use advanced methods to clear the roots and repair any damage.

Heavy Scale Build-Up:

Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside pipes, narrowing the flow and potentially causing blockages. We use specialized tools to remove scale and restore proper function.

Broken or Deteriorated Pipes:

Pipes can crack, corrode, or deteriorate due to age or environmental conditions. We provide thorough inspections and can replace or repair damaged pipes to restore your system.

Sewer Line Blockages:

Blockages are a common issue caused by debris, grease, and other materials that build up over time. We offer comprehensive cleaning services to clear blockages and prevent future issues.

Pipe Shifting or Collapsing:

The ground surrounding sewer pipes can shift, leading to misalignment or collapse. We assess the damage and make necessary repairs or replacements to ensure your sewer line operates smoothly.

Sewer Line Leaks:

Leaks can develop from various causes, including pipe wear or external pressure. Our team uses modern technology to detect leaks and repair them effectively, preventing further damage. For any of these issues, you can rely on Great Plumbing Service to provide expert sewer line repair and replacement services.

Warning Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair or Replacement

It’s essential to identify early signs of sewer line damage to prevent costly repairs and property damage. Here are some key indicators that it might be time to call in the professionals:

Slow Drains:

If multiple drains are slowing down simultaneously, it could indicate a blockage in the main sewer line. This is a sign that you may need a professional inspection.

Foul Odors:

Unpleasant smells coming from drains or your yard could point to a broken or clogged sewer line. These odors are a sign that waste is not being properly expelled.

Backed-Up Sewage:

If you experience sewage backups in your sinks, toilets, or tubs, your sewer line may be damaged. This can be a health hazard and requires immediate attention.

Lush Patches in Your Yard:

Unusually green or wet patches in your yard could indicate a leaking or broken sewer line. The leaking water can encourage grass to grow faster in these areas.

Gurgling Noises in Plumbing:

If you hear gurgling sounds coming from your pipes, this could be a sign of a sewer line issue. These sounds often occur when there’s a blockage or a backup.

Unexplained Increase in Water Bills:

A sudden spike in your water bill can point to a hidden leak in your sewer line. This leak can waste a lot of water and result in high utility costs. If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t hesitate to contact our expert plumbers for professional sewer line repairs. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to handle any emergencies.

How to Keep Your Sewer Line Running Smoothly

Maintaining a healthy sewer line requires consistent care and attention. Here are some helpful tips to keep your system in good condition:

Tip 1: Avoid Dumping Grease and Oil

Never pour grease or oil down your drains, as it can harden inside pipes and cause blockages. Dispose of grease in a separate container instead.

Tip 2: Use Drain Screens

Install screens over drains to catch debris such as hair, soap, and food particles. This helps prevent clogs from forming in the pipes.

Tip 3: Flush Only Toilet Paper

Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper, including wipes and sanitary products. These items can cause serious blockages in your sewer line.

Tip 4: Regular Professional Inspections

Schedule annual or biannual sewer line inspections with a professional plumber. Early detection of problems can help avoid costly repairs in the future.

Tip 5: Maintain Your Yard

Be cautious about planting trees near your sewer line, as roots can infiltrate and damage pipes. Regularly inspect your yard for signs of leaks or unusually lush patches of grass.
