The majority of pipes are susceptible to breakage due to extreme pressure, regardless of whether they are inside (water) or external (ground). A damaged sewer pipe is the most serious kind of pipe malfunction. Cracked sewer pipes are not only expensive to repair, but can also pose dangerous health risks. Repair is the first line defense when a sewer line breaks down. We will consider the replacement of sewer lines when repair is not an alternative.

Sewer line blockages could lead to raw sewage backing up and leaking into your tub, shower or drains for your sink. Sewer line backups can often cause expensive repairs. A backed-up sewer main can lead to costly repairs that can be more expensive than the cost of replacing floors or vanities. It is important to be proactive in identifying and fixing any issues as soon as they arise to avoid high costs.

A sewer line blockage could occur due to a variety of reasons. Blockages in the sewer line can be caused by excess paper use, grease and oil from cooking waste, hair, and soapy residue left behind from showers and sinks.

The process of unblocking the main sewer line could be done by homeowners willing to mess up. The first step is to turn off the main water line to the home off. There will be small, round PVC pipe with the cap or screw-on rubber cap. By removing the cap, you release the pressure that has built up and allow water to drain out of (rather rather than back into) the home.

Tree roots are an ever-present problem for main sewer lines, especially in older homes. With time, tree roots grow dislodging soil and putting pressure on the older sewer lines made of clay. This pressure could eventually suffocate these older, brittle pipes. The roots then can grow through the pipes, leading to massive leaks and blockages.
