The majority of pipes are susceptible to breakage due to extreme pressure, regardless of whether they are inside (water) or outer (ground). But, one of the most dangerous pipe problems one could endure is the broken sewer pipe. Cracked sewer pipes can be 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 the replacement of sewer lines when repair isn't an option.
