Avoiding Common Sewer Problems

Imagine having guests over, and suddenly, you start to smell something foul coming from the bathroom. Chances are, your sewer line is blocked or in need of repair. Issues with sewers can be very unpleasant and costly if left unchecked or untreated for too long.

A functioning sewer system is essential for any home, as it transports wastewater and other waste materials from the house. In this article, we will discuss common problems homeowners may face with their sewer systems and how to prevent them from occurring in the first place.

5 Common Sewer Line Problems & How to Avoid Them

1. Tree Roots Growing Into Pipes

Trees can grow in and around sewer pipes, making it difficult for wastewater to flow through. To prevent this, homeowners should ensure trees are planted far away from the sewage lines. If roots have already grown into the plumbing system, they can be removed with a high-pressure water jetting system.

2. Pipe Corrosion & Deterioration

Old pipes are prone to corrosion and deterioration, leading to clogs. To prevent this from happening, homeowners should inspect their pipes regularly for any signs of damage. If caught early enough, these issues can be easily fixed.

3. Sewer Line Blockages

A blockage in the sewer line can be caused by anything from paper towels, cooking grease, and other debris. To avoid clogs, homeowners should make sure they are not putting any of these things down the drain.

4. Sagging & Broken Pipes

Over time, pipes can become weak and sagging due to soil pressure. That can easily be avoided by having REGULAR INSPECTIONS done by a professional.

5. Leaks & Cracks

Water pressure from storms or other water sources can cause pipes to develop small cracks. These cracks, if left unrepaired, can eventually lead to major pipe breaks. To prevent this from happening, homeowners should have their pipes inspected regularly and repaired as soon as any leaks or cracks are spotted.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently bought a house and the tanks hadn’t been pumped in 25 years. John and his company were super quick to come out and amazing to work with. They explained everything to me, located the tanks, built a new riser and lids and worked amazing with us on a price! Highly highly recommend this company and we will be using them for all future needs!
