Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sewer line damage?
Sewer line damage is commonly caused by aging pipes, corrosion, ground shifting, and tree root intrusion. Over time, these factors can weaken the pipe structure, leading to cracks, blockages, or collapse. Heavy usage and improper installation can also contribute to long-term deterioration and recurring sewer issues.
Can sewer lines be repaired without digging?
Yes, many sewer line issues can be repaired using trenchless methods like CIPP lining or pipe bursting. These techniques allow plumbers to repair or replace pipes without extensive excavation, minimizing disruption to your yard, driveway, or landscaping while still providing a durable, long-term solution.
What is a party sewer?
A party sewer is a shared sewer line that serves multiple properties and often runs across property boundaries. These systems were more common in older neighborhoods but can create complications for maintenance and repairs, especially when multiple homeowners are responsible for a single line.
What is a nonconforming sewer line?
A nonconforming sewer line is a system that doesn’t meet current plumbing or city code requirements. This often means the sewer line runs through another property instead of connecting directly to the public system, which can create issues when repairs or upgrades are needed.
When is excavation required for sewer repair?
Excavation is typically required when a sewer line is severely damaged, collapsed, or unsuitable for trenchless repair methods. In these cases, digging is necessary to access and replace the pipe directly. We only recommend excavation when it’s the most effective and reliable solution.
