Common Reasons for Sewer Repair

As a sewage system gets older, it does not work as well as it once did. Some indicators alert you to the need for a sewer repair:

Slow drains in your home indicate a problem with the sewage system. Drains should empty wholly and freely all the time.

When you hear gurgling noises in your pipes as they drain, this is a warning that something is not right. You need a trained plumber to inspect your system for problems before they turn into a costly fix.

If you notice that your water bill increases despite using the same amount, there is a problem.

Finding soggy places in your yard is not normal and needs professional attention. Boggy spots in the grass indicate that water is coming from somewhere it shouldn’t.

Sewer Pipe Inspections

When you need help with sewage backups in your home, a Morton Man plumber will perform a sewer camera inspection to determine the problem. Sewer pipe inspections used to involve digging up parts of the pipe to identify the problem.

This high-tech camera allows the plumber to see into your sewer lines, saving you time and money.

The sewer camera lets us find the problem, record it on the monitor, and investigate. This accurate picture allows us to pinpoint the problem and recommend the best, least invasive solution for your property.

With our trenchless sewer repair, we bypass the large excavation machines in favor of precise technology to locate the problem. We can access the pipe through small holes in the ground and perform repairs without disrupting the landscaping, concrete structures, or any other part of your property.

What Happens in Sewer Replacement

When a sewer pipe can’t be repaired, you need sewer replacement. There are multiple reasons for sewer replacement.

When there is extensive landscape remodeling to your property, sometimes the sewer lines can be damaged. Sewer lines that are old and corroded stop working correctly and need replacement. Additionally, tree roots will grow toward a water source, including a cracked sewer pipe. Once there, they work into the crack, stopping the flow through the pipe.

If you have a broken sewer line, the pipe needs to be replaced because the escaping waste is a health hazard waiting to happen. Finally, mold can grow in the sewer pipe lining, posing further risk to your family.

Sewer Replacement Options

Sewer replacement is costly, stressful, and disruptive. That is why you should consider trenchless sewer replacement, an alternative to traditional sewer pipe replacement. Trenchless sewer replacement is less invasive to your lawn and takes less time to complete.

Trenchless sewer pipe replacement takes two primary forms:

  • Pipe bursting

    happens when we maneuver a bursting head through the existing pipe. As the head drags the new pipe where the old pipe was, the old pipe falls away to leave the new pipe in its place. The replacement pipe is made of the same material as bottle caps and plastic lawn furniture. It won’t deteriorate and offers a life of up to 100 years. 

  • Slip lining

    is another trenchless process in which we slide an epoxy liner into the existing pipe, creating a pipe within a pipe. The liner will then be heated and adhere to the inside of the pipe lining to fix leaks and other problems.

Trenchless sewer replacement offers many benefits over traditional sewer replacement methods. Our plumbing technician does not have to dig a trench to repair the issue. Trenchless repair generally has a lower cost and produces less impact on your property.

Trenchless replacement pipes are lightweight and one person can carry them easily, meaning fewer man-hours are required. The pipes are less expensive than traditional plumbing pipes and last three times longer. Best of all, trenchless sewer replacement through pipe bursting or slip lining uses no harmful chemicals or contaminants and won’t disrupt the ground.

Our experienced sewer technicians will get to work quickly to determine the exact reason why your system is not working. Once the problem has been verified, we will get right to work on your sewer replacement.
