Common Signs That You Need Sewer Repair

Sewer problems often start with small signals before they turn into a major emergency. Being aware of how your drains are behaving can help you catch a pipe failure early, allowing for a more efficient and less invasive repair process in your home.

• You notice multiple drains in your house are slow or making gurgling noises.
• Foul sewage odors are persistent in your yard or near your basement drains.
• You see unusually lush or green patches of grass over the sewer line path.
• Toilets are frequently backing up even after you have cleared the line.
• Soggy spots or puddles appear in your lawn when it has not rained.
• You have been dealing with recurring clogs despite regular professional cleanings.
• There are indentations in your yard or cracks in your exterior walkways.

Ignoring these signs can lead to structural damage or health hazards from wastewater. In many local neighborhoods, these issues are caused by tree roots finding their way into aging pipe joints. Using a sewer camera can confirm if your pipes are cracked or misaligned. Addressing these symptoms now ensures your home stays safe and prevents the need for a total system replacement later.

Traditional Vs. Trenchless Sewer Services: Which Is Better?

You have a choice when it comes to sewer line replacement. You can opt for traditional excavation methods, or you can select trenchless drain line replacement. In some cases, you might have to use both! Most drain and sewer systems, especially cast-iron ones, typically require a combination of traditional and trenchless repair and replacement. 

Traditional

Traditional sewer replacement requires excavating part of your property, but our expert technicians will do so carefully to avoid disturbing the aesthetic elements of your home. The new pipe material we install depends on your specific needs and preferences. The most popular option is ABS.

Trenchless

We also offer an alternative, less invasive way to replace your slow drains without destroying your beautiful yard. Our trenchless sewer pipe replacement services can help you evade the disruption and costs associated with digging up long trenches in your yard.

Our trenchless sewer replacement methods include:

• Cured-In-Place:  Cured-in-place piping is an excellent alternative to traditional sewer replacement. For this method, our experts utilize a flexible tube coated with resin, which they pull into the damaged pipe. The resin hardens and creates a new pipe resistant to corrosion within the existing pipe.
• Pipe Bursting: Pipe bursting is another option our plumbers may perform on a collapsed lateral, but only if there is plenty of room for a cable to go through the old pipe. This trenchless drain replacement technique involves pulling a new pipe through the damaged one while fracturing the existing line outward.
