Common Sewer Repair and Replacement Causes

While normal drain use occasionally leads to backups, frequently slow drains or severe blockages indicate a larger issue in the sewer line. With an in-depth sewer camera inspection, our experienced team can identify the cause and the best method to make repairs. 

• Roots – Tree roots are the biggest cause of broken and backed up sewer lines. While trees enhance any property, roots seek out the moisture rich nutrient found in sewer lines. They can enter through even small cracks, and once inside do major damage including breaking the line and causing frequent backups. 
• Heavy Scale Buildup – Poorly maintained drains and heavy use lines can become damaged from hard scale buildup in the pipe. As organic material sits in the line, it can stick to the inside of the pipe and slowly close off drain flow. Scale buildup can also weekend the pipe leading to cracks and breaks, allowing roots easy access to the line.
• Breaks and Deterioration – Aging pipes, dry ground and extreme temperature shifts can lead to pipe deterioration and major breaks. This collapses the sewer lines causing frequent backups and leading to replacement. 

Sewer Line Repair

Main sewer line repairs can be performed by routine and professional snaking for minor clogs and high-pressure water hydro jetting to remove roots and dissolve heavy buildup. 

Professional sewer snaking is typically the first step in diagnosing and repairing a blocked main sewer drain. However, if our drain experts encounter a hard spot, pull back roots, or suspect damage, we will recommend a sewer camera inspection to view the line. With a sewer camera inspection, we can determine next steps in the repair process.  

Hydro jetting can repair drains with root intrusion and heavy sludge or grease buildup. Using high pressure water streams and a multi directional nozzle to scour 360 degrees of the drain, hydro jetting is an effective repair for sewer pipes in good condition.
