Need a Sewer Line Repair Service in Ivanhoe, NC?

In general, all kinds of pipes are susceptible to breakage because of extreme pressure, regardless of whether they are inside (water) or outward (ground). But, one of the most dangerous pipe problems one could endure is the damaged sewer pipe. Broken sewer pipes are costly to fix and pose grave health hazards. If a sewer line is damaged, a repair is the first line of defense. We turn to sewer line replacement when repair isn't an option.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

• Poor maintenance
• Regularly, the ground freezes and then thaws.
• Wear and tear as a result of aging
• The city's sewer line
• Tree roots infiltrate sewer pipe joints and bores.
• Poor sewer pipe layout, design and/or installation
• A buildup of debris, grease hair, oil, toilet paper, sludge and other substances
• Earth movement, for example, earthquakes or nearby heavy construction, for example.

Signs of a broken sewer pipe

• Your toilet makes gurgling noises
• Water has been drained from your toilet
• Toilet backups containing sewage and/or tub
• Inability to drain
• You will notice greener grass around your sewage pipe
• Your yard is filled with water

Sewer line blockages could cause raw sewage to back up, and eventually getting into your tub, shower or sink drains. The backups to sewer lines can result in expensive repairs. The cost of having to replace vanities, floors and even support joists as a result of the back-up of a sewer main could outweigh the cost of plumbing repair very quickly, making prompt detection and repair essential in reducing the cost.

A sewer line obstruction can occur for various reasons. A high amount of paper usage, oil and grease from kitchen waste, hair and soapy residue from sinks and showers can all cause sewer line blockages.

Cleaning the main sewer line could be done by homeowners willing to get messy. Turn off your main water source. You should look for a shorter, round PVC pipe that has a rubber or plastic screw-on cap on the end. The cap can be removed to release the pressure and let water be able to drain from the home.

Most likely, you've encountered the blockage of your sewer. A sewer may stop flowing for many reasons, including the impact of soil or freezing ground. Additionally, the accumulation of grease, paper and other foreign debris could block the flow of the pipe. Another common cause is root infiltration. This occurs when roots from a nearby shrub or tree enter the sewer line through the joint and grow to fill up the pipe with a hairy root mass. If not addressed immediately blocked pipes can cause the pipe to explode or break or even collapse. This damage can lead to the necessity of replacing the sewer line.
