In general, all kinds of pipes are susceptible to breakage due to extreme pressure, whether it is inside (water) or external (ground). A damaged sewer pipe is the most dangerous kind of pipe problem. The pipes that have cracks are not just costly to fix, but they can present grave health hazards. When a sewer line fails, a repair is the first option. We turn to sewer line replacement when repair isn't an alternative.

Sewer line blockages could lead to raw sewage backing up, and eventually getting into your shower, tub or the drains of your sink. The backups to sewer lines can lead to costly repairs. A backed-up sewer main can result in costly repairs that will exceed the cost of replacing floors and vanities. It is crucial to be proactive in identifying and fixing any problems early to avoid high costs.

There are a variety of reasons the sewer line could become blocked. Excessive paper usage as well as grease and oil from kitchen waste, hair and soapy residue from sinks and showers could cause sewer line obstructions.

Cleaning the main sewer line can be accomplished by homeowners who are willing to mess up. First, turn the main water line to the home off. Find a small round PVC pipe that has the screw-on plastic or rubber cap on the top. The cap can be removed to relieve pressure , allowing water to be able to drain from the home.

There's a chance you've experienced an obstruction in your sewer. The sewer line can be blocked due to many reasons, including the impact of soil or freezing ground. Also, the buildup of paper, grease, and other foreign waste can prevent proper flow in the pipe. Root infiltration is a different problem. This occurs when roots from nearby trees or shrubs enter the sewer line at a joint and grow to overflow the pipe, creating a hair-like root mass. If these blockages are not addressed immediately, could cause the pipeline to burst and collapse, breaking or even collapsing. The damage could lead to the necessity of replacing the sewer line.
