4 Reasons Why Your Sewer Lines May Need a Repair

Sewer repairs are necessary for a variety of reasons. Often, sewer repairs are required due to typical wear and tear. Or, sewer repairs may result from unexpected occurrences, such as inclement weather, tree root interference, and other unpredictable issues. The following problems are the most common reasons why local homeowners and business contact us for sewer repair and replacement:

1 – Cracks

The movement of soil and other interferences can cause cracking in sewer lines. Extreme temperatures or worn pipes can also aggravate or cause these types of problems.

2 – Corrosion

If the pipes have grown so corroded that flow has been hindered, or if a shift causes a dent, it can cause a blockage.

3 – Tree Root Interference

In some cases, tree roots will encircle and eventually burst through your sewer line. Depending on the damages, repairs may take place on a minor to significant scale.

4 – Faulty Joints

Broken joints need repairs ASAP. Even if your pipes seem okay, joints are crucial for a properly functioning sewer system.

Signs You Need a Sewer Repair

The first sign that your sewer line is backing up will be seen in the floor drain in your basement. Here sewage will flood up when you have a backup in the line. If you don’t have a floor drain in your basement then you may have gurgling or bubbling toilets that may even overflow.

We know that sewer line damage is a problem that you want fixed as soon as possible! A backed up sewage line is more than simply unpleasant, it is dangerous for you and your family’s health and well being. The longer you leave a situation like this unattended to, the worse it will become.

Other signs you may notice within your home that indicate you may have a sewer line problem include:

  • Puddles or soft spots appear in your yard.
  • You suddenly have a pest problem.
  • Your toilet backs up when you flush.
  • You notice strange smells around your home.
  • You notice mold on your walls.
  • Your drains are draining slowly or not at all.
  • Your toilet is making gurgling sounds or “bubbling.”

None of these signs should be ignored, especially if they persist for an extended period. Give us a call right away if you notice any of the symptoms described above. We can be on-site ASAP to identify, diagnose, and quickly resolve the issue.

Our Repair Techniques

At Clog Busters LLC we employ a variety of trenchless technology methods for sewer line repairs. We can help you decide on the best repair method for your situation when we come to inspect your property. We may use any of the following methods:

  • Pipe Bursting
  • Directional Drilling

Our Process

Before we get started with your repair, one of our experts diagnoses and correctly identifies the nature of the problem running by a camera through your pipes. Once the nature of the problem has been evaluated, you’re ready to get to work. 

It is important to note that this type of repair is not something you should tackle on your own or take lightly. Our professionals are here to help ensure the problem gets resolved once and for all and no secondary issues present themselves.

Repairing your line could result in a lot of noise. However, it shouldn’t disrupt your daily routine too much. Most repairs can usually be handled within a day or two. If you have young children or pets who are sensitive to unpredictable or loud noises, you may want to have them stay with a babysitter while our crew is on-site.

1 – What Is the Cost to Repair a Sewer Line?

The cost to repair a sewer line can be anywhere from $1,000 to $1,400. Most sewer line repairs are about $2,500. The cost can vary based on the type of damage. If it turns out that the sewer line cannot be repaired, and you need a replacement, our friendly technicians will be happy to provide a quote. 

2 – How Do You Fix a Broken Sewer Line?

There are many ways to repair a damaged sewer line. At Clog Busters, we perform trenchless sewer repairs via pipe bursting, directional drilling, or point repairs. That means that we go into the sewer line without digging into your background or wherever the sewer line is located. 

First, we’ll figure out what type of sewer line damage we’re working with. Then, we’ll explain your options and get to work on the repair. Not only is our trenchless technology more environmentally friendly since it doesn’t damage your yard, but it’s also more affordable and faster than other repair options (but just as reliable). 

3 – What Are the Signs That My Sewer Line Is Due for a Replacement?

A repair is usually all it takes to get your sewer line working at the optimal condition once again. However, there are a few indicators that you’re due for a sewer line replacement. First, if you’ve been noticing that your pipes have been having trouble more often, and your house and pipes are getting up there in age, it’s a good idea to replace them. 

Also, if your toilet has been running over, and your sink clogs seem impenetrable half the time, you might need a replacement. If you know something went down the drain (e.g., your leftover rice from dinner), that could be the culprit. However, if you’re sure that nothing is going on that way, a replacement could be a good choice. Your local drain technician at Clog Busters will take a closer look and let you know what’s best in your situation. 

4 – How Long Does the Average Sewer Line Last?

The majority of sewer lines last anywhere between 50 to 100 years. To keep your sewer line in a good working condition, we recommend having it cleaned and inspected every year and a half or so. 

5 – What Causes Sewer Lines to Collapse?

Tree roots in the ground need water to thrive. They look for water from within your sewer line and enter the pipe. As the roots get longer and thicker, they can break down the joints in your sewer line. 

This causes a leak, which wears down the surrounding soil. Ultimately, this takes away the sewer line’s foundation, which causes it to collapse. 

6 – Is My Sewer Line Cracked?

One of the most common signs that a sewer line has cracked is the smell. If you smell a sewer odor in your home, it’s best to contact a sewer line repair company, such as ourselves, right away. 

Some other signs of a cracked sewer line are mold on your walls from the water, and a slow-draining tub, toilet, or sink. If you’ve cleaned out your drains multiple times to no avail, and you can’t figure out what’s clogging them, a crack or other damage is likely. 

7 – How Long Does It Take to Repair a Broken Sewer Line? 

The full sewer line repair process lasts one to three days on average. It can also be just a couple of hours if it’s a smaller pipe or the repairs are minor. This timeline can vary based on the damage and where your pipe resides.
