Your sewer line plays a critical role in your plumbing system, carrying wastewater away from your home or business. When this essential line is damaged or clogged, it can lead to serious problems like foul odors, slow drains, and even sewage backups. At Armor Plumbing, we specialize in expert sewer line repair services to restore your system and protect your property from costly damage.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Understanding what can damage your sewer line is the first step toward prevention. Here are some common culprits:
- Tree Roots: Roots naturally grow toward moisture, and sewer lines are often a prime target. Over time, they can infiltrate pipes, causing blockages or cracks.
- Pipe Corrosion: Older pipes made from materials like cast iron or clay are prone to corrosion and wear, eventually leading to leaks or collapses.
- Clogs and Debris: Flushing items like grease, wipes, or foreign objects down the drain can lead to severe blockages in your sewer line.
- Ground Shifting or Settling: Natural shifts in the soil over time can cause pipes to crack or misalign.
- Aging Infrastructure: As sewer lines age, they become more susceptible to breaks, leaks, and other issues.
Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
Spotting the early signs of sewer line trouble can save you time, money, and stress. Watch for these warning signs:
- Slow Drains: If multiple drains in your home are draining slowly, it could indicate a blockage in your sewer line.
- Sewage Backup: One of the most obvious (and unpleasant) signs of a problem is sewage backing up into sinks, tubs, or toilets.
- Foul Odors: Persistent sewer odors inside or outside your property often signal a leak or blockage in the sewer line.
- Unusually Green Patches in Your Yard: Lush, overly green areas of grass may indicate a sewer line leak that’s fertilizing the soil.
- Cracks in Your Foundation: Leaking sewer lines can lead to foundation damage over time, causing visible cracks.
If you notice any of these issues, it’s essential to call the professionals at Armor Plumbing right away.
