Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair or Replacement

Your sewer line keeps waste and dirty water away from your home. When there’s a clog or break in the pipe, the wastewater has nowhere to go, so it either backs up the drain or seeps in through your home’s foundation or yard. Not only can this cause property damage but prolonged exposure to contaminated water can put you and your family’s health at risk. This is why it’s crucial to call a Henderson plumber as soon as you notice something wrong with your drains and sewer.

Here are some signs you need sewer line repair or replacement:

• Sewage backups
• A persistent sewage gas odor
• Multiple or frequent blocked drains
• Lush patches of grass
• Soggy spots on your lawn

If the problem turns out to be minor, we can repair your sewer line using Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining (CIPP). The process involves inserting a resin lining inside your old pipe to repair the damage. CIPP also requires no digging, so there is no need for any restoration work upon completion. However, if the pipe damage is extensive and beyond repair, excavation is a must to replace the entire sewer line.

Why is Sewer Replacement Necessary?

Sewer replacement becomes necessary due to various factors:

• Aging Infrastructure: Many sewer systems in cities and towns are old and deteriorating. Over time, pipes can corrode, crack, or collapse, leading to leaks, blockages, and inefficiencies.
• Damage from Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines seeking moisture and nutrients. As they grow, they can cause cracks or breaks in the pipes, leading to blockages and leaks.
• Corrosion: Some sewer pipes are made of materials like cast iron or clay, which can corrode over time, especially in acidic soil conditions. Corrosion weakens the pipes, making them more prone to leaks and failures.
• Blockages and Congestion: Accumulation of grease, debris, and non-biodegradable items in sewer pipes can cause blockages, leading to backups and sewage overflows. In some cases, the blockages may be severe or frequent enough to warrant replacement.
• Structural Defects: Structural defects in sewer pipes, such as misaligned joints, bellied pipes (sagging sections), or pipe collapses, can impede proper flow and require replacement to restore functionality.
• Root Intrusion: Tree roots seeking water and nutrients can infiltrate sewer pipes through small cracks or joints. As they grow, they can cause significant damage to the pipes, leading to blockages and breaks.
• Environmental Regulations: In some cases, sewer systems may need to be upgraded or replaced to comply with environmental regulations aimed at reducing pollution and protecting water quality.
• Persistent Problems: If a sewer line experiences frequent backups, leaks, or other issues despite attempts at repair, replacement may be the most cost-effective and long-term solution.

In summary, sewer replacement is necessary to address a range of issues including aging infrastructure, damage from tree roots, corrosion, blockages, and compliance with environmental regulations, ensuring the continued functionality and reliability of the sewer system.
