Generally speaking, all types of pipes are susceptible to breaking due to high pressure, whether it is inside (water) or outward (ground). But, one of the worst pipe malfunctions one can encounter is a damaged sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes are not only costly to repair but can also pose serious health hazards. When a sewer line breaks repairs are the first option. If repair isn't an option, we opt for a replacement of the sewer line.

Sewer line blockages can result in raw sewage backing up and finding its way into your shower, tub or sink drains. Sewer line backups often result in a costly repair. The expense of having to replace vanities, floors as well as support joists because of the back-up of a sewer main could outweigh the cost of plumbing repair quickly, which makes early detection and repair crucial to keeping costs down.

A blockage in the sewer line could occur due to various reasons. Excessive paper usage as well as grease and oil from kitchen waste hair, soapy residue and hair from sinks and showers can all cause sewer line blockages.

Unclogging the main sewer line could be completed by homeowners who are willing to be messy. Start by turning the main water line to the home off. You should look for a shorter, round PVC pipe that has an adhesive rubber or plastic screw-on cap at the end. Removing that cap will release built up pressure and cause water to flow out from (rather than back into) the house.

A skilled sewer camera inspection will pinpoint the cause of the clog as well as the state of the sewer line. This is the initial step in any Westwood sewer line replacement or repair. Westwood Drain & Sewer Services can provide professional diagnosis and guarantee that all repairs are carried out in a safe manner, based on the state of the pipe.

Hydro jetting is a great option for drains that are not damaged and have heavy buildup of scale or root intrusion. We can eliminate stubborn roots and remove years-old buildup by using high-pressure water streams and an specialized jetting nozzle.

If the line has been damaged, hydro jetting isn't the ideal choice. Pipelining is an affordable alternative in the event of missing sections, tiny holes cracks, or holes. Pipelining restores the line and creates an indestructible and durable brand new pipe inside the damaged line all without the need for excavation.

If your sewer line is damaged, do you need repair to your sewer line? Or replacement? When small holes or cracks appear within the sewer line typically a repair is warranted. The sewer line can be replaced for more severe pipe corrosion and damage. With all things underground, how can our technicians tell if replacement is required? To determine whether there is damage to your pipes and the severity of it, we use an inspection of the leaks in pipes. If we find damage or leak it is possible to do trenchless repairs in certain cases, but replacements do require us to dig the sewer line up. In any case it's not something that can be overlooked. Contact Westwood Drain & Sewer Services to have your sewer line examined.
