A faulty plumbing services line is more than an inconvenient inconvenience. Left untreated, it can lead to structural complications and a host of environmental hazards. The good news is that identifying warning signs and scheduling professional inspections can help property owners limit damage, save money, and minimize disruptions.

Clogged or slow-draining fixtures are a common indicator of an impending sewer line issue. Chemical drain cleaners can hide symptoms for a time, but they will not fix cracks, corroded surfaces, sagging sections (bellies), or a collapsed line. A comprehensive sewer line inspection can help property owners identify and address the root cause of deterioration, so that more serious repairs are not required in the future.

Sewer pipes made of older materials, such as cast iron and clay, have finite lifespans. After decades of use and exposure to corrosive wastewater, they can deteriorate, crack, and even collapse. Ground shifts, soil erosion, and tree roots can also stress weakened pipes and disrupt normal flow.

A popular and effective trenchless sewer line repair option is pipe relining. This method involves creating two access points, then inserting a flexible liner coated with resin into the existing pipe. After the liner is inflated and cured, it creates a seamless, durable new pipe inside the old one.

If your sewer line is severely damaged or collapsed, replacing the entire line may be necessary. Fortunately, advanced trenchless sewer line replacement methods allow for the installation of a new plastic line without extensive excavation.
