All types of pipes are susceptible to breaking under extreme pressure. A damaged sewer pipe is the most dangerous kind of pipe problem. Pipes that are cracked can be expensive to repair and can pose serious health risks. When a sewer line breaks repairs are the first option. We will consider sewer line replacement when repair is not an alternative.

Common Reasons for Sewer Line Damage

Regular ground freezes/thaws
Wear and tear due to age

Infiltration of tree roots onto sewer pipe joints and holes
Poor sewer pipe layout, design or installation
Hair, hair debris, grease and oil buildup, as well as toilet paper and sludge.

Sewer line blockages can lead to raw sewage backing up, and eventually getting into your tub, shower and drains for your sink. Sewer line backups often result in costly repairs. A sewer main that is backed up can lead to expensive repairs that exceed the cost of replacing floors or vanities. It is crucial to take the initiative in identifying and fixing any issues early in order to avoid expensive repairs.
