Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

Sewer line damage can occur due to a variety of factors, and understanding the causes can help in timely repairs or replacement. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Tree roots: Tree roots can invade sewer pipes, causing blockages and damage.
  • Poor maintenance: Lack of regular drain cleaning can lead to a buildup of debris, contributing to clogs and cracks.
  • Aging: Old pipes can deteriorate over time, making them more susceptible to cracks and breaks.
  • Improper installation: Sewer lines that were improperly installed may fail prematurely, leading to the need for repairs or replacement.
  • Ground shifting: Natural occurrences like seismic activity or repeated freezing and thawing can shift the ground, damaging pipes.

Signs of a Broken Sewer Line

Recognizing the signs of a damaged sewer line is critical to avoid major issues down the road. Common indicators include:

  • Gurgling sounds from your toilet
  • Water backup in drains or toilets
  • Slow-draining bathtubs and sinks
  • Foul sewage smells around your home
  • Sinking driveways or foundation cracks

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to contact a professional immediately. Our team of licensed professionals at Derks Plumbing can inspect and provide expert sewer line repair, plumbing issues like garbage disposal installation or repair, copper line repair or replacement, depending on the severity of the damage.

Sewer Line Repair Options

When a sewer line is damaged, repair is often the first course of action. However, the best solution depends on the extent of the damage. Here are some common repair methods we use:

1. Pipe Relining

Our pipe relining service allows us to reinforce your existing pipes with a durable lining. This method is effective for preventing future cracks and minimizing disruption to your property.

2. Hydraulic Pipe Bursting

For severely damaged pipes, we offer hydraulic pipe bursting, a trenchless method where we replace the damaged pipe without extensive digging. This technique is ideal for homeowners who want to preserve their landscaping while getting their sewer lines replaced.

Sewer Line Replacement

In cases where the sewer line is beyond repair, a complete replacement may be necessary. While we prioritize repair options first, sometimes replacement offers the best long-term solution. Our experienced team will work with you to ensure a smooth replacement process, minimizing downtime and restoring your sewer system as quickly as possible.

Sewer Line Installation

We offer comprehensive sewer line installation services for new construction projects, renovations, or to fix issues from incorrect installations. Our skilled team will carefully plan the installation area, provide you with detailed cost estimates, and guide you on long-term maintenance requirements. You can rely on us to follow all relevant state and local laws, regulations, and guidelines to ensure a seamless and compliant installation.

Emergency Sewage Pipe Replacement

Sewer pipe failures can be highly disruptive and often require immediate attention to prevent exposure to hazardous sewage. Fortunately, our plumbers are available 24/7 to quickly diagnose and resolve your emergency sewer problems.
If our experts determine that a full sewer line replacement is a better solution than a repair, it’s because it will permanently stop leaks and prevent further damage to your property. Our team is equipped to handle most sewer line replacements on the same day, ensuring prompt and effective service.
