Common Reasons a Sewer Line Needs Replacement

Kitchen and bathroom habits have a direct impact on the condition of your sewer line; make the wrong move and it could easily be broken. Other times, natural factors beyond your control, like wear and tear over time and tree root invasion, are the culprit. Here are some of the causes of sewer line failure that may necessitate a total replacement:

• Age: Pipes that are simply old (several decades) and/or have not been maintained properly will most likely need full replacement rather than a repair. Having your sewer main inspected and serviced every two years means you get more life out of your existing system.
• Corroded pipes: Corroded pipes are at risk of collapsing and cutting off the flow of sewage.
• Flushing foreign objects: Only waste matter and toilet paper should be flushed down your toilet. If you flush anything else, debris can get stuck and cause a blockage that breaks the sewer line.
• Putting grease down the sink: Many people mistakenly believe that if they rinse hot grease down the sink with hot water, it will wash away. In reality, the grease solidifies when it cools in the pipes and gets stuck, causing blockages and other issues.
• Damage from roots, storms, and soil: Overgrown tree roots, storm damage, and an overabundance of soil around the sewer line can all contribute to sewer line problems. These factors can invade the pipes, prevent normal evaporation, and otherwise disrupt normal function.
