Generally speaking, all types of pipes are susceptible to breakage due to extreme pressure, be it inner (water) or outward (ground). However, one of the most dangerous pipe problems one could encounter is a broken sewer pipe. Pipes that are cracked can be costly to fix and could pose significant health risks. Repair is the first line defense when the sewer line is damaged. The next step is a sewer line replacement when repair isn't an alternative.
