What Causes Sewer Line Problems?

Maintaining a healthy and functional sewer line is no less important than keeping your home’s interior in excellent condition. Plumbing issues often stem from a faulty sewer line, and understanding the causes can help prevent severe damage. Here are several common causes for sewer line problems:
  • Tree Root Intrusion: One of the most common issues that our plumbers find in sewer lines is tree root intrusion. Tree roots naturally gravitate towards sources of water, and they can infiltrate your sewer line, causing blockage or damage. This typically occurs when there are cracks or leaks in the line, which roots exploit to gain access to the moisture inside.
  • Pipe Corrosion: Old and worn-out pipes are more susceptible to corrosion, a process that deteriorates the pipe over time. This often leads to leaks or complete pipe failure. Regular check-ups from a plumber can catch these issues early and prevent considerable damage to your property.
  • Ground Movement: Changes in the soil or ground due to earthquakes or heavy construction near the sewer line can cause it to shift, break, or collapse. These factors are not always in our control, but knowing if they have occurred can help diagnose a problem quicker.
  • Flushing Inappropriate Items: The wrong items being flushed down the drain, such as baby wipes, diapers, or feminine hygiene products, can cause severe blockages in your sewer line. Our plumbers often remind homeowners that toilets are not trash cans and should not be treated as such.
  • Severe Weather Conditions: Heavy rain can over-saturate the ground, causing additional pressure on the pipes, while drought can cause soil contraction, leading to pipe damage.
    • Understanding these common causes of sewer line problems can enable us to take the necessary preventative measures and seek help from a professional plumbing company.

    Warning Signs: It’s Time For Sewer Line Repair or Replacement

    By understanding the warning signs, you can act swiftly and get your sewer line repaired or replaced in a timely manner. Here are some of the key signs that indicate it could be time to repair or replace your sewer pipes:
  • Frequent Drain Clogs: If you're frequently experiencing drain clogs or slow drains throughout your house, it might be a problem with your sewer line. Persistent clogs indicate a blockage in the main sewer line, which cannot be resolved by typical unclogging methods. Calling our plumbers early can prevent a full-blown sewer backup.
  • Sewage Backup and Overflow: Should you observe sewage backing up in your toilets or drains, it's likely a clear sign of a sewer line issue. This not only creates a health hazard but also indicates a severe blockage or break in your sewer line that requires immediate attention.
  • Foul Odors: Unusual and foul smells coming from your drains or around your property may suggest a cracked or leaking sewer line. Sewer gases escaping from the line give off a distinct odor, which is a clear sign that it's time to contact our plumbers for a thorough check-up and repair.
  • Lush Green Patches in Your Yard: If certain patches of your lawn are unusually green and lush, it could be due to a leaking sewer line. The sewage acts as a fertilizer, leading to enhanced grass growth. If you notice this, it's time to call for an inspection and potential sewer line repair or replacement.
  • Foundation Cracks or Sinkholes: Sudden cracks in your home's foundation or the appearance of sinkholes around your property can indicate a severe sewer line issue. This could be due to a major leak or collapse of the sewer line, requiring immediate professional help.
    • Remember, early detection and prompt action can save you from large-scale damage and costly repairs. If you observe any of these signs, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us as quickly as possible for an assessment of your sewer system.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Regular inspections are crucial to prevent severe damage. As a rule of thumb, we recommend having your sewer lines inspected every 18–24 months. However, if you experience frequent clogs or any other warning signs, you should call immediately.

    So glad I came across this father son duo!

    I had a commercial drain backed up and they were able to be on-site that same day. Chris and Mark explained what they were doing throughout the job which was great because I don’t know much about plumbing. They have many many years of experience and were great to work with.

    10/10 Definitely recommend!!!
