Common Sewer Line Problems
- Tree Roots:Tree roots naturally seek out water sources, so if you have even a small crack in the sewer pipe, tree roots can burrow in causing clogs and ruptures.
- Shifting Soil: Sometimes the soil surrounding the pip shifts, causing pipes to crack, break, or become misaligned.
- Clogs: If you’re not mindful about what you put down your drains, it’s easy for the pipe to back up.
- Corrosion: Corrosion and deterioration are usually the result of the pipe aging. Sewer lines made with galvanized steel or clay are typically in bad shape today.
- Leaking Joints: When seals between pipes break, water leaks out.
Trusted Sewer Repair in Westerville
The sewer line is the part of your home's plumbing system that is responsible for taking wastewater away. Your home's drains connect to the sewer line, which means that a problem there can affect them all. If you notice that they are all draining very slowly, then it's a good idea to call a plumber soon. Ignoring sewer line issues can cause wastewater to back up in drains and start to smell.
People call on us for sewer repair in Westerville for many reasons. Some sewer lines are affected by tree roots growing into them, while others are blocked by flushed objects. Sometimes, a problem with a sewer line develops simply due to the age of the pipes. Over time, corrosion can affect clay or steel pipes. Joints can also start to leak when their seals deteriorate over time.
Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair ASAP
- Backups & Blockages: If you have water backing up into the house, or clogs throughout your home’s drains, it’s a sign of trouble in the main sewer line.
- Sewer Odor: Sewer odors around your property are definite signs that you have a crack or clog in the main line.
- Slow Drains: Slow drains can mean that a blockage has formed and may eventually lead to a clog. If you have slow draining water, try fixing it with a drain snake. If all of your drains are emptying slowly, it’s signals a bigger problem that requires the help of a professional.
- Soggy Lawn: Soggy spots on your lawn mean that you likely have a leak in your main sewer line that’s coming up from underneath.
