But, one of the most dangerous pipe problems one could encounter is a damaged sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes can be costly to fix and pose grave health hazards. Repair is the first line of defense in the event that the sewer line is damaged. The next step is a sewer line replacement when repair is not an alternative.

Sewer line blockages could cause raw sewage to back up, and eventually getting into your shower, tub, and the drains of your sink. Sewer line backups often result in an expensive repair job. The cost of having to replace floors, vanities, and even support joists as a result of a backed-up sewer main can surpass the expense of plumbing repairs very quickly, making early detection and repair key to reducing costs.

There are many reasons why a sewer line can become blocked. A high amount of paper usage, oil and grease from kitchen waste hair, soapy residue and hair from showers and sinks can all result in troubling sewer line obstructions.

Cleaning the main sewer line could be done by homeowners who are willing to mess up. First, turn the main water source to the house off. Find a small round PVC pipe with the screw-on plastic or rubber cap at the end. The removal of the cap will relieve built up pressure and allow water to drain out of (rather than back into) the house.

Hydro jetting is ideal for drains that are not damaged with heavy scale buildup or root intrusion. By using high pressure streams of water and a specialty jetting nozzle, we can break down decades of buildup and get rid of even tough roots.

Hydro jetting isn't recommended if the line is damaged. If there are small sections missing, minor holes or cracks, pipelining can be an economical alternative.
