What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

Sewer line problems can occur for numerous reasons. The most common cause of sewer line damage is due to broken or cracked pipes. Over time, sewer pipes can experience wear due to elements such as root intrusion, ground movement, leaking joints, or pipes that are too thin for their environment.

Sewer lines can also become blocked or clogged by material such as tree roots, pieces of tissue, or broken pipes. Other causes of blockages may include build up of materials such as grease or debris. Fortunately, our experienced technicians are adept at quickly and safely removing blockages from sewer lines to restore normal flow.

What are the Signs of Sewer Line Damage?

Signs of sewer line damage typically manifest in slower than usual draining, and the presence of sewage or wastewater in undesired places, such as in the garden, or in the basement. A foul odor leaking from the drains is a common sign of a problem with the sewer line.

Fortunately, our technicians are adept at identifying clues such as these that point to an underlying issue in the sewer line. Armed with the latest technology, our experienced plumbers are very good at quickly identifying and addressing any issues they encounter.

How Do I Unclog a Sewer Line?
