Sewer Repair

Sewer repair is a necessary part of maintaining your home’s plumbing. It is important to address any issues as soon as they occur as they can quickly become more serious and costly to repair. The first step in any sewer repair is trying to diagnose the issue. Some common signs of a broken sewer line are clogged drains, bad odors emanating from the drains, toilets not flushing properly, and slow or gurgling drains.

Once you have identified the issue, the best way to proceed is to contact a local plumber for a sewer inspection. The plumber will first inspect the pipes to determine the exact location of the break. Once the plumber has identified the source of the problem, they will then advise you on the best way to repair the pipe.

The most common way to fix a sewer pipe is through a method called “pipe relining”. This involves the installation of a new pipe into the existing one without digging up the surrounding area. This is a cost-effective and less invasive way to repair the sewer line. Alternatively, a plumber may suggest digging up the line and replacing the affected section with a new pipe. This is usually a more costly process than pipe relining but may be necessary depending on the severity of the damage.

Once the repair is complete, it is important to properly maintain the sewer lines by avoiding putting any non-flushable items down the drains and regularly getting the lines inspected. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help avoid any serious and costly plumbing disasters in the future.
