All kinds of pipes are susceptible to breaking under extreme pressure. A damaged sewer pipe is the most serious type of pipe malfunction. Pipes that are cracked can be costly to fix and could pose significant health risks. Repair is the first line defense in the event that the sewer line fails. When repair is not an option we can opt for a replacement of the sewer line.

Sewer line blockages can lead to raw sewage backing up and finding its way into your shower, tub, and drains for your sink. The backups to sewer lines can result in expensive repairs. A backed-up sewer main can cause expensive repairs that cost more than the cost of replacing floors and vanities. It is important to be proactive in identifying and fixing any problems early to avoid high costs.

A sewer line obstruction may occur for various reasons. In excess paper use along with grease and oil from kitchen waste hair, soapy residue and hair from sinks and showers could cause sewer line blockages.

If the homeowner is willing to try their hand at becoming a bit messy clearing an main sewer line may be a DIY task. First, turn the main water line to the home off. There will be small, round PVC pipe with an end cap or a rubber screw-on cap. The removal of the cap will relieve the pressure build-up and cause water to flow out of (rather than back into) the home.

There's a chance you've experienced a sewer blockage. A variety of things can cause a sewer cease to flow, for example, frozen ground or soil that has been impacted. Additionally, the accumulation of paper, grease, and other foreign waste can prevent proper flow in the pipe. Another common cause is root infiltration. In this case, roots from a nearby shrub or tree enter the sewer line via a joint and expand to fill the pipe with a hairy root mass. If not addressed immediately, could cause the pipeline to burst, breaking, or collapsing. The damage could lead to the necessity of replacing the sewer line.
