However, one of most severe pipe failures that one can encounter is a damaged sewer pipe. Broken sewer pipes are costly to fix and pose serious health risks.

A sewer line obstruction can cause raw sewage to back up and find its way into the tub, shower and sink drains in your home. The backups to sewer lines can result in expensive repairs. A sewer main that is backed up can lead to expensive repairs that be more expensive than the cost of replacing floors and vanities. It is crucial to be proactive in identifying and fixing any issues early to avoid costly repairs.
There are a variety of reasons a sewer line can become blocked. Blockages in the sewer line can result from excessive paper usage, grease and oil from hair, cooking waste and soapy residue left behind in showers and sinks.
Cleaning the main sewer line can be done by homeowners willing to be messy. Switch off your main water source. There is an incredibly small, circular PVC pipe that has an end cap or a rubber screw-on cap. Removing that cap will release the pressure that has built up and cause water to drain out from (rather than return to) the house.
