Are you looking for a Sewer Line Repair Service in Rives, MI?

The majority of pipes are susceptible to breakage due to extreme pressure, be it the inner (water) or outer (ground). However, one of the worst pipe malfunctions one can endure is the broken sewer pipe. Pipes that are cracked aren't only costly to repair but can also pose dangerous health risks. Repair is the first line defense in the event that the sewer line is damaged. We turn to sewer line replacement when repair isn't an alternative.

Sewer Line Damage: Common Causes

• Poor maintenance
• Regularly, the ground freezes and then thaws.
• Wear and tear due to age
• A backup from a sewer line in a city
• Tree roots infiltrate into sewer pipe joints and pipes
• Poor layout, design and/or construction of sewer pipes
• A accumulation of grease, debris, hair, oil, toilet paper, sludge, other substances
• Earth movement, such as earthquakes or nearby heavy construction, for example.

Signs of a Broken Sewer Pipe

• The sound of gurgling is emanating from your bathroom
• You have water that has drained out of your toilet
• Toilet backups containing sewage and/or tub
• Bathtubs that drain slowly or do not drain
• You will notice a greener lawn near the sewage pipes
• Your yard is overflowing with water
• Sewer odors in your basement, yard or in any other space

A sewer line obstruction could cause raw sewage to back up and find its way into the shower, tub, and sink drains throughout your home. Sewer line backups often lead to costly repairs. The expense of having to replace floors, vanities as well as support joists as a result of an unrepaired sewer main could surpass the expense of plumbing repair very quickly, making prompt detection and repair crucial to reducing costs.

A sewer line blockage may occur for a variety of reasons. Sewer line blockages can be caused by excess paper use or grease and oil produced by hair, cooking waste, and soapy residues left behind from sinks and showers.

If the homeowner will risk getting a little messy clearing a main sewer line can be a DIY task. Switch off your main water source. There is a small, round PVC pipe that is fitted with a cap or rubber screw-on cap. Removing that cap will release the pressure build-up and allow water to drain out from (rather rather than back into) the home.

If you've ever had the experience of a sewer line blockage, then you're aware of how stressful it can become. Many things could cause a sewer to stop flowing, such as the impact of soil or frozen ground. The pipes can also be blocked by paper, grease, or other foreign debris. Root infiltration is another common problem. This occurs when the roots of nearby trees or shrubs enter the sewer line at the joint and then grow to fill the pipe with hair-like roots. If not addressed immediately, could result in the pipeline bursting and collapse, breaking or even collapsing. Such damage will require the repair or replacement of the sewer line.
