Every type of pipe can be broken by extreme pressure. But, one of the worst pipe malfunctions one can encounter is a damaged sewer pipe. Pipes that are cracked can be costly to fix and could pose grave health hazards. Repair is the first line defense in the event that the sewer line is damaged. When repair is not a viable option, we turn to sewer line replacement.

Common causes of Sewer Line Damage

Poor maintenance
Ground freezes/thaws regularly on a basis
Wear and tear as a result of the aging process
Backup from the city's sewer line
Infiltration of tree roots into sewer pipe joints and pipes
Design, layout, or design of the sewer pipe is poor and/or installation
Debris, grease, hair and oil buildup, as well as toilet paper and sludge.
Earth movements, like earthquakes or nearby heavy construction, for example.

A blockage in the sewer line can cause raw sewage back up, and then find its way into showers, tubs, and sink drains throughout your home. The backups to sewer lines can cause expensive repairs. A sewer main that has backed up could cause expensive repairs that cost more than the cost of replacing floors or vanities. It is crucial to be proactive in identifying and fixing any issues early in order to avoid expensive repairs.

A sewer line obstruction can occur for various reasons. In excess paper use as well as grease and oil from kitchen waste hair, soapy residue and hair from showers and sinks can cause sewer line blockages.

If a homeowner is willing to risk becoming a bit messy clearing a main sewer line can be a DIY project. Turn off the main water supply. You should look for a shorter round PVC pipe that has the screw-on plastic or rubber cap on the end. The removal of the cap will relieve the pressure build-up and allow water to drain out from (rather than return to) the home.

A professional sewer camera inspection will identify the cause of the clogs and the condition of the sewer line. This is the very first stage in any Syracuse sewer line replacement or repair. Syracuse Drain & Sewer Services can provide an expert diagnosis and make sure that all repairs are done in a safe manner, based on the pipe condition.

Hydro jetting can be utilized to clean drains that aren't damaged, have a large scale build-up, or are surrounded by roots. We can remove stubborn roots and remove years-old buildup by using high-pressure water streams and an specialized jetting nozzle.

Hydro jetting is not recommended in the event of a damaged line. If there are small sections missing, minor holes or cracks, then pipelining can be a cost effective alternative. Pipelining repairs the line, creating an indestructible and durable brand new pipe inside the damaged line with no need for excavation.
