In general, all kinds of pipes are susceptible to breaking due to high pressure, whether it is inside (water) or external (ground). However, one of most severe pipe failures that one can experience is that of a broken sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes are not only costly to repair however they could pose serious health hazards. When a sewer line fails repairs are the first line of defense. When repair is not an option, we turn to sewer line replacement.

Sewer line blockages could lead to raw sewage backing up and leaking into your shower, and the drains of your sink. Sewer line backups can often cause expensive repairs. A sewer main that is backed up can result in costly repairs that will exceed the cost of replacing floors or vanities. It is important to identify and fixing any issues as soon as they arise to avoid costly repairs.

There are a variety of reasons a sewer line can become blocked. Excessive paper usage as well as grease and oil from kitchen waste hair, and soapy residue from showers and sinks can cause sewer line blockages.

The process of unblocking the main sewer line can be accomplished by homeowners willing to mess up. First, turn the main water supply to the house off. There will be an incredibly small, circular PVC pipe with the cap or screw-on rubber cap. Removing that cap will release built up pressure and cause water to flow out of (rather rather than back into) the home.

If you've ever had the experience of the blockage of a sewer line then you know how hectic it can become. The sewer line can be blocked for many reasons, including frozen ground and impacted soil. Additionally, the accumulation of grease, paper and other foreign debris can prevent proper flow in the pipe. Root infiltration is another frequent issue. This occurs when the roots of nearby trees or shrubs enter the sewer line at an intersection and expand to fill the pipe with a hair-like root mass. These blockages, if not dealt with immediately, may result in the pipeline bursting or collapse. The damage could lead to the necessity of replacing the sewer line.
