Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

From normal wear and tear to frozen pipes, damaged sewer lines can occur for a variety of reasons. Some common causes of damaged sewer lines include: 

  • Aging pipes: Older pipes, especially clay or cast-iron pipes, are prone to deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of leaks, breaks, and other damage.   
  • Ground shifts: Natural movements in the ground can displace or rupture your pipes, resulting in damage to your sewer lines.
  • Clogs from debris: Accumulated grease, hair, and other foreign objects can obstruct your sewer lines, leading to backups and damage.
  • Poor installation: Improperly installed pipes can suffer from misalignment, increasing the risk of damage. 
  • Corrosion: Over time, metal pipes corrode due to chemical reactions with soil and water, weakening their structure.
  • Extreme temperatures: Freeze-thaw cycles or extreme heat can cause pipes to expand and contract, resulting in cracks or bursts.
  • Tree root infiltration: Roots can penetrate sewer lines, causing blockages and cracks.

Sewer Line Repair Methods

Our professional plumbers utilize industry-leading methods for sewer line repair to provide long-lasting solutions. Each technique is carefully selected based on your unique commercial or residential needs to minimize disruption and restore functionality to your home or business. 

We can help you maintain your sewer lines using advanced techniques, such as: 

  • Trenchless piping: This method involves minimal excavation, making it less disruptive. A new pipe is pulled through the existing line to break up the old pipe and replace it with a new one.
  • Pipe bursting: This technique splits and expands the existing damaged pipe while simultaneously pulling in a new pipe to replace it. It is effective for replacing old pipes with minimal excavation.
  • Sliplining: This process involves inserting a smaller pipe into the existing damaged pipe. The new pipe is then grouted into place, creating a tight, slip-lined fit to ensure smooth wastewater flow.
  • Fold and formed pipe: A flexible pipe is folded and inserted into the damaged sewer line, then expanded and formed by heat or pressure to create a new, secure pipe within the old one.

How Long Do Sewer Lines Last?

The lifespan of your sewer lines will vary based on certain factors, such as the age of the pipes, piping material, property type, the quality of the original installation, and maintenance frequency. For residential properties, older clay and cast iron pipes typically last between 50-100 years, while modern PVC pipes can last 100 years or more under optimal conditions. 

On the other hand, commercial properties may experience greater wear and tear due to higher usage demands, which may shorten the lifespan of the sewer lines. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to potential issues are crucial to extending the lifespan of your sewer lines. At Mr. Drain, our sewer line experts have years of knowledge and know-how to carefully inspect your pipes and offer professional recommendations for repair or replacement.

How to Tell if Your Main Sewer Line Is Broken

Recognizing the warning signs of main sewer line damage is important to prevent costly damage and repairs. A compromised sewer line can lead to a myriad of problems, including health hazards, water and structural damage, and negative environmental impacts. It’s important to contact a licensed professional immediately if you suspect your main sewer line is broken or damaged. 

Here are some warning signs of main sewer line damage: 

  • Slow draining: Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or toilets can indicate a blockage or break in your main line.
  • Sewage backups: Frequent backups in plumbing fixtures can signal issues with your main sewer line.  
  • Odors: Unpleasant sewage odors coming from your drains or yard can signify a leak or break in the main sewer line.
  • Wet patches or sinkholes: Unexplained wet spots or sinkholes in your yard may be caused by leaking sewage, indicating damaged sewer lines.
  • Lush patches of grass: Excessively green or lush areas in your yard can indicate leaking sewer lines underground. 
  • Gurgling noises: Gurgling sounds from your drains while using appliances or fixtures can indicate a main sewer line issue.
  • Increased pest activity: An influx of rodents or insects around your property can be a sign of leaking sewage. 

If you notice any of these red flags, it’s imperative to contact our experienced plumbers at Mr. Drain for a professional assessment and timely repair or replacement.
