Clogged Sewer Lines
Clogs are commonly caused by grease and other solid waste accumulating in the sewer lines. Be mindful of what you put down the drain to avoid clogging.
Tree Root Overgrowth
Tree roots can grow into sewer lines through cracks, causing blockages. Regular hydro jetting can remove these tree roots and other sewer line blockages.
Corrosion & Rust
Over time, metal sewer lines can corrode, leading to leaks and ruptures. Make sure to have them inspected on an annual basis and replaced as needed.
Sewage Backups
Sewage backups are commonly caused by aging sewer lines or ground movement. Avoid these by keeping your plumbing system well-maintained.
Leaking From Joints
As they age, seals between sewer line sections can deteriorate, causing leaks at the joints. Inspect and replace these components as needed to prevent leaks.
Cracking & Breakage
Damage from cold temperatures, shifting ground, or heavy objects can cause cracks or breaks in the sewer line. Inspect it for these flaws on a regular basis.
