Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
A sewer line is out of sight, which makes it difficult to detect a problem. Fortunately, there are plenty of signs around your home that can indicate a sewer line issue that needs to be addressed.
Check around your plumbing system for the following signs:
- Slow Drains: Indicates a potential blockage deep in the sewer line. If water slowly drains, it’s normally a sign of line blockage that will require a thorough clearing process to remove.
- Foul Odors: Sewer gas smells inside or outside the home suggest leaks. The lingering scent of sewage indicates a problem with the sewer line. Typically, this issue comes from leaks within the line, which bring out terrible odors.
- Recurring Clogs & Backups: Occasional clogs may not seem like a big deal, but when the problem persists even after thorough plunging or snaking, it indicates there is a much larger problem with the sewer line.
- Soggy Lawn or Sinkholes: While water for grass is typically a good thing, a consistently wet lawn indicates a rising leak from the sewer line. Excessive moisture can also cause sinkholes to develop in the lawn surface.
- Gurgling Sounds: While it may sound funny, a gurgling sound indicates that there is an internal blockage or other issue within the line. When water cannot properly drain, it begins releasing air pockets, which lead to a gurgling sound.
Common Sewer Line Issues
Unfortunately, a sewer line can fall prey to a range of common problems. Suntech’s plumbers frequently encounter issues such as:
- Tree Root Intrusions: The roots of nearby trees can impact lines. If the roots encroach on the pipework to find nutrients and water, they can potentially misalign, crack, or even break the pipe.
- Corrosion & Aging Pipes: Cast iron and clay pipes deteriorate over time. For certain piping materials, continual use can lead to corrosion or general deterioration. When there is enough damage, it leads to issues like heavy leaking.
- Blockages from Debris: Over time, non-flushable items, grease, and even your hair can build up within the sewer line. Without proper water flow, clogs can lead to problems like foul odors and sewage backups.
- Pipe Misalignment or Collapse: If soil around the sewer line shifts, it can cause the pipework to misalign or collapse. This not only disrupts sewage flow but also leads to costly damage. Additionally, heavy traffic or any foundation movement can shift pipes.
Our Sewer Line Repair Services
As a trusted Oklahoma City plumbing company, we have crafted extensive sewer line repair solutions. From detailed inspections, thorough cleaning methods, and even full-on replacements, we have the solution for you. Check out our sewer line repair services:
Video Camera Inspections
Hidden problems can’t hide for long, thanks to our in-depth camera inspections. Our waterproof cameras avoid the damage that typical camera inspections can cause. Our camera searches every area of the line, finding everything from potential root intrusion to material cracks or pipe misalignment.
Sewer Line Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Sometimes, there are clogs that a thorough plunging cannot clear out. That's where Suntech’s sewer line cleaning and hydro jetting come to help. Our methods utilize high-pressure water wash that breaks down disruptive buildups and even cut through intrusive tree roots. This method allows us to reach down deep into the line to clear out clogs, making it a more effective clean than standard snaking.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Having an issue with your sewer is stressful enough, but having a bunch of holes dug to repair your line doesn’t help. When you call Suntech, we only utilize trenchless repair methods that restore your plumbing without excavating your yard. Our two methods of repairs include:
- Pipe Lining (CIPP – Cured-in-Place Pipe): Our team inserts a resin-coated liner into the broken sewer line. The liner is then hardened, which creates a brand new pipe right inside the old one.
- Pipe Bursting: A new pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking the damaged pipe apart with minimal digging. We have a new pipe pulled directly through the old one, breaking apart the damaged piping along the way. This method properly removes the old pipework without any need for digging.
Our trenchless repairs focus on avoiding the damage that traditional excavation causes. These methods provide our customers with a fast replacement or repair that not only lasts longer but also involves little disruption to daily routines.
Traditional Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Severe damage, misalignment, and collapsing pipework can severely disrupt essential sewage flow in your system. When pipes are beyond repair, Suntech offers traditional repair and replacement methods. Although our solutions require excavation to identify and address the issues, we approach this process with precision and care, ensuring that the result is a durable and enhanced sewer system. Our trench digging techniques minimize yard disruption and allow us to focus on problem areas effectively.
