If you wait to repair a broken or damaged sewer line, the problem will only get worse. When you’ve been dealing with strange new plumbing problems, how do you even know a damaged sewer line is to blame? There are actually a few key signs that it’s time to repair your sewer line!
Clogged Drains
It’s normal to get a simple clog here and there. If you have multiple fixtures clogged at once, or if you’ve noticed things like a gurgling shower drain when you flush your toilet, you’re probably dealing with what we call a mainline clog. That’s when your sewer line itself is clogged and it’s impacting other drains in your home. We can schedule a drain cabling to give you some temporary relief from your clogs, but a major backup like this is something that likely needs repair or replacement.
Water Damage in Your Gastonia Home
Have you noticed mold on your floors, walls, or ceiling? What about water damage? There’s a possibility these are the result of a broken or cracked sewer line in your home. If that’s the case, it’s time to call a professional plumber like Morris-Jenkins! We have the tools and expertise to find the exact location of the leak so we can get things fixed up right away.
Pools or Smells in Your Yard
Even though your sewer lines are underground, if you have a leak or crack in your pipes, water can start to collect and form pools in your yard. Not only that, but sewage gases can work their way through the ground. You can imagine how bad that would smell, and it won’t go away on its own. That’s why it’s vital to fix the problem as soon as possible!
When to Repair vs. When to Replace
If just a section of your sewer line is damaged, a sewer line repair might be all you need! If that’s the case, one of our plumbers will use special tools to find the exact location of your problem. That way, we’ll replace only what’s necessary to get your home back to normal! If your sewage lines are overall damaged or worn down, however, it might be time to think about replacing it all. Don’t worry, our plumbing team is experienced with repairs and replacements.
Sewer line problems stink (literally)! If you’re googling things like “sewer line repair near me,” you might also be wondering how this kind of damage even happened in the first place.
Clogged Pipes
When you put things down the drain that aren’t meant for it, like wrappers, paper towels, grease and oil, or other foreign objects, they can get stuck and clog up your sewage lines.
Tree Roots
When tree roots are looking for water, it’s easy to see why they would choose your pipes. Unfortunately, if you have any cracks in your sewage line, those roots are gonna find it! They’ll work their way in and around your pipes, causing worse damage and clogs.
Corroded Pipes
Certain pipes are more prone to corrosion than others. While steel pipes and cast-iron pipes are galvanized to help prevent rust from forming, they’re still the most likely to corrode. If your pipes begin to corrode, the problem will just get worse, leading to more cracks and leaks!
As long as the damage to your sewer line isn’t too extensive, a sewer line repair should be plenty to get your Gastonia home’s plumbing working like new! After you call Morris-Jenkins and schedule with us, one of our plumbing experts will come out and assess exactly where the damage is. We’ll even find out just how deep the pipes are in the ground! That way, we only dig up as much as we need too, and nothing more. Sometimes, this means digging up parts of your lawn or your driveway. Fortunately, since we’re able to pinpoint the location of the problem, we’re able to do as little digging as possible to keep your home looking nice. Before we ever even start digging, we’ll try to clear out any mainline clogs so we can run a camera down the line and take a close look at any damage.
Once we’ve located, trenched, and removed the damaged section of pipe, we’ll attach a new piece and cover it up nice. This means putting back dirt and grass as carefully as we can and spreading grass seed and hay to make sure everything grows back pretty!
Extra Step to Prevent Future Issues
Do you have a white pipe cap outside your home? That’s called a drain cleanout, and if you don’t already have one (or two), we can go ahead and install one for you to help with any potential future issues. Of course, we hope you’ll never need one, but they’re super helpful to have! They give you direct access to your sewer line so you can relieve pressure on your pipes, and plumbers will have a better way to clear out clogs for you.
Sewer line damage isn’t something you can just ignore. Over time, the cracks or leaks will just get worse, and before you know it, there’s more damage to your home and yard! While some companies can’t get to your Gastonia home right when you need it, Morris-Jenkins offers same-day service. That means we can usually come out the same day you call! No more waiting and hoping things don’t get worse. It’s scary when your plumbing starts acting up—that’s why we wanna get it fixed up ASAP so you can get back to taking care of the things in life that matter most. In fact, we even offer weekend and evening appointments at no extra cost, just because we wanna be available whenever you might need us.
You’ve got enough on your plate without having to stress about how to get in touch with a plumber. We make it easy for you to reach us! Call, text, or schedule online, and we’ll get out there right away!
