The majority of pipes are susceptible to breakage due to extreme pressure, be it the inner (water) or external (ground). However, one of the worst pipe malfunctions one can experience is that of a damaged sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes are not only costly to repair however they could pose serious health hazards. When a sewer line fails, a repair is the first line of defense. If repair isn't an option we can turn to sewer line replacement.

Common causes of Sewer Line Damage

Poor maintenance
Ground freezes/thaws regularly on a routine
Wear and tear due to the aging process
Back-up from the city's sewer line
Infiltration of tree roots into sewer pipe joints and holes
Design, layout, or design of the sewer pipe is poor or installation
Debris, grease, hair and oil buildup, along with sludge and toilet paper.
Earth movements, like earthquakes, or nearby heavy construction, for example.

Sewer line obstructions can cause raw sewage to back up, and eventually getting into your shower, and the drains of your sink. Sewer line backups often result in costly repairs. A sewer main that has backed up could cause costly repairs that can cost more than the cost of replacing floors and vanities. It is essential to take the initiative in identifying and fixing any issues as soon as they arise in order to avoid expensive repairs.

A blockage in the sewer line may occur for a variety of reasons. A high amount of paper usage, oil and grease from kitchen waste hair, soapy residue and hair from sinks and showers can all result in troubling sewer line blockages.

If a homeowner will take a chance at perhaps getting a little messy cleaning a main sewer line can be a DIY project. First, turn the main water line to the home off. Find a small, round PVC pipe with the screw-on plastic or rubber cap on the top. By removing the cap, you release built up pressure and cause water to drain out of (rather than return to) the home.

If you've ever had the experience of an obstruction in your sewer line, then you're aware of how stressful it can become. Many things could cause a sewer line to stop flowing, such as the impact of soil or frozen ground. Also, the buildup of grease, paper and other foreign waste could block the flow of the pipe. Another common cause is root infiltration. This occurs when roots from a nearby tree or tree enter the sewer line from an opening and then expand to fill up the pipe with a hairy root mass. If not addressed immediately, these blockages can cause the pipeline to rupture, break, or collapse. This can result in the necessity of replacing the sewer line.
