Generally speaking, all types of pipes are susceptible to breakage because of extreme pressure, whether it is inside (water) or external (ground). A damaged sewer pipe is the most dangerous kind of pipe problem. Pipes that are cracked can be costly to fix and pose grave health hazards. Repair is the first line defense in the event that the sewer line is damaged. When repair is not a viable option, we opt for a replacement of the sewer line.

Sewer line blockages could result in raw sewage backing up, and eventually getting into your shower, and drains for your sink. The backups to sewer lines can cause costly repairs. The cost of having to replace vanities, floors, and even support joists as a result of a backed-up sewer main can outweigh the cost of plumbing repairs very quickly, making prompt detection and repair essential to keeping costs down.

There are many reasons why sewer lines can get blocked. Sewer line blockages could result from excess paper use or grease and oil produced by hair, cooking waste, and soapy residue that is left from sinks and showers.

If the homeowner will try their hand at becoming a bit messy cleaning an main sewer line may be a DIY project. The first step is to turn off the main water source to the house off. Find a small, round PVC pipe that has a rubber or plastic screw-on cap at the end. The removal of the cap will relieve built up pressure and cause water to flow out from (rather than return to) the house.

If removing the cleanout line doesn't significantly improve your drainage situation, you need to call the sewer line repair Elmira, specialists at Elmira Drain & Sewer Services.

Tree roots are an ever-present problem for sewer lines that are main, especially in older houses. As time passes the tree roots expand in size, dislodging soil, and exerting pressure on older clay sewer lines. This pressure can eventually crush these pipes, which are older and weak. The roots can then expand throughout the pipes, causing massive leaks and blockages.
