Sewer Repairs in Ventura

Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Prevent Sewer Issues?

Preventing sewer issues begins with routine maintenance. Regular inspections can identify potential problems before they escalate. Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items or pouring grease down your drains to help maintain the health of your plumbing system. Furthermore, scheduling professional maintenance with Gallegos Plumbing ensures your sewer system is in prime condition, providing peace of mind and preventing costly repairs down the line.

What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless sewer repair is a non-invasive method of fixing sewer lines without the need for extensive digging. This technique involves inserting a new pipe into the existing one or using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. The benefits include reduced labor costs, faster repair times, and minimal disruption to your property. At Gallegos Plumbing, we use trenchless technology to provide efficient and reliable repairs, maintaining the integrity of your landscaping and infrastructure.

Particularly relevant in Ventura’s older neighborhoods, trenchless methods are less disruptive and preserve historic landscapes. This approach respects both your time and your property’s aesthetic, aligning with the community’s emphasis on maintaining curb appeal.

What are the Signs that Indicate You Need to Have Your Sewer System Repiped?

A typical cast-iron system has a lifespan of about 50 years. However, cast iron rusts out over time, and corrosion, along with tree root intrusion, shifting soil, or mineral buildup, may shorten that lifespan. Recognizing the signs of a failing sewer pipe could help you avoid a catastrophe by knowing when to call our sewer repair experts.

You should repair your sewer line if you notice:

• Soggy Areas In The Lawn - Do you ever notice wet spots or puddles on your property even though it hasn’t rained? This may be a sign that your sewage system needs servicing. Unexplained wet spots on your property almost always indicate a bigger problem with your sewer system, especially when they emit a foul odor.
• Gurgling Pipes - Are your pipes making weird noises? An excellent way to tell if your sewer line needs repair is by listening to the noises it makes. If you can hear water struggling to make it down the pipes, this is a sign that your system needs attention. Bangs and creaks are common when sewer pipes get older and require attention.
• Slow Drains - Have you been dealing with persistent clogs and slow drainage issues across multiple drains? Having multiple clogs for an unexplained reason could indicate that your sewer system is failing. Instead of buying bottle after bottle of drain cleaner to no avail, consult our team at Gallegos Plumbing.
• Sewage Odors - One of the most apparent and unpleasant side effects of a damaged sewer system is a foul-smelling odor that seems to stem from standing water in your home. You shouldn’t be able to smell raw sewage as it travels from your home, so if you notice a foul odor coming from any area of your house, it is time to consult a professional.
• Cracked or Broken Sewer Pipes - Cracked or broken lines indicate that you may need to repair your system. No matter what caused the damage, whether wear and tear or ground shifting or old age, you will need to invest in professional sewer services if you have cracked or broken pipes.

Contact Gallegos Plumbing if you are dealing with one or more of the above mentioned symptoms. Our highly-trained experts will evaluate your sewer line’s condition and help you decide the best method of repair for your sewer lines.
