All kinds of pipes are susceptible to breaking under extreme pressure. However, one of the worst pipe malfunctions one can endure is the damaged sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes can be costly to fix and could pose serious health risks. When a sewer line fails repairs are the first line of defense. We turn to sewer line replacement when repair isn't an alternative.

Common causes of Sewer Line Damage

Poor maintenance
Ground freezes/thaws regularly on a routine
Wear and tear resulting from age
The backup comes from a city's sewer line
Tree roots can infiltrate sewer pipe joints and holes
Poor layout, design, or installation of sewer pipes
A accumulation of grease, debris, hair, oil, toilet paper, sludge and other materials
Earth movement, for example, earthquakes or nearby construction, for example.

The signs of a damaged sewer pipe

Your toilet and/or bathtub should have an additional sewer system.
Slow draining bathtub or failure to drain

Wilmington Drain & Sewer Services's licensed sewer line specialists will look over your sewer pipes and determine if there is cracks, or any other damages. We strive to fix instead of replace them, so we begin by evaluating the problem.

Our fleet includes all necessary equipment needed for safe underground excavation such as traffic cones, barriers, reflective & led indicators and vehicle lighting, warning signs, and vehicle lighting.

While everyone's sewer system and property layout are unique, there are some basic universal problems that we can take a to look at, many of which cause these common fixes:

Pipe Relining. First, we cleanse the sewer pipe and then apply a new liner. This takes up to a few hours to dry. The new lining acts as a protective shield that prevents cracks in the pipe.
Burst Pipe Hydraulic Repair. We may be in a position to pull an entirely new sewer line through an existing sewer line, if the damage is too extensive. The process uses hydraulics to further break apart the damaged pipe, and then seamlessly replace it with the new one.
Preventive pipe maintenance. Regular inspections of your drains and pipes will keep buildup and debris at bay, and also help avoid any cracks, clogs or explosions.

If you have ever experienced an obstruction in your sewer line, then you're aware of how stressful it can become. The sewer line can be blocked due to a variety of reasons, such as the impact of soil or freezing ground. The pipes can also be blocked by paper, grease or any other foreign material. Another reason for this is root infiltration. This occurs when roots from a nearby shrub or tree get into the sewer line via a joint and expand to fill up the pipe with a hairy root mass. If not addressed immediately the blockages could cause the pipeline to rupture or break or even collapse. Such damage will require the repair or replacement of the sewer line.
