Common Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair

Your property’s drain performance gives you clear insight into the overall health of your plumbing system. Knowing the common signs that indicate when your sewer line needs repair can help you avoid structural damage and even steeper repair costs. Typical signs you should watch out for include: 

  • Slow drainage
  • Standing water
  • Frequent clogs
  • Backed-up plumbing
  • Unbearable odors
  • Unexpectedly high water bills
  • Presence of flies/pests

If you think that you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you must act immediately. Exposure to raw sewage can not only put your property at risk through structural damage and mold and mildew growth, but it also risks your health with sickness from overexposure to harmful bacteria. Protect you and your community’s health and gain peace of mind by working with professionals you know you can trust.

Causes of Sewer Line Damage & Blockages

A picture a sewer line that needs to be repaired.

Sewer line damage and blockages riddle your daily routine with inconvenience and can lead to flooding, corrosion, property damage, and even full-scale sewage overflows. Most sewer blockages are caused by what you choose to put down your drain. It’s key to know which items are not safe for your drains. Some of these include:

  • Fats, oils, and grease
  • Hair
  • Trash 
  • Wipes

Sewer line damage is typically brought on by external factors or old age. Objects such as tree roots can block your drain system if they grow through cracks in your pipes. Clogs can also happen from excess mineral buildup caused by hard water. This is why it’s important to have routine maintenance even if you are careful with what you put in your drain.

Trenchless vs. Traditional Sewer Line Repair Methods

Trenchless and traditional sewer line repair methods differ by how invasive they are. Traditional methods involve excavating a trench to access and replace damaged sections of pipes. Trenchless (as the name suggests) focuses on methods that don’t require creating a trench, opting for a minimally invasive process. 

Traditional sewer line repair methods include: 

  • Inspection
  • Excavation
  • Pipe repair or replacement
  • Restoration

This process typically takes longer and costs more money as there is a longer list of tools and labor required for an efficient repair. Traditional methods can still be extremely effective, but you should remain aware of the possible damage this process can cause. 

Trenchless sewer line repair is a more modern approach relying on methods such as: 

  • Pipe relining
  • Pipe bursting

Both trenchless methods are fast and cost-effective, providing long-lasting repair options without digging up your yard. However, it is important to remember that not every sewer line repair can be addressed with trenchless methods, and if it can, it will require advanced tools and an experienced plumber to implement properly.
