Common Sewer Line Issues

Nasty Smells Around Your Drains

If you're catching a whiff of something unpleasant from your drains, it might mean wastewater isn't moving right through your sewer line. Blocked waste or clogs can cause bad smells that linger and make your home less comfy.

Wet Spots in Your Yard

In spring and other rainy times, you're likely gonna see soggy spots in your yard. But if it hasn't rained much lately, this could mean a big leak in your sewer line. A pro from Morris-Jenkins can check out your sewer line and figure out what needs to be done.

Slow Drains Everywhere

Got just one slow drain? Usually, that's not a big deal. But if several drains in your house are slow, it could point to sewer line troubles. A big clog or buildup might mean you need a sewer line replacement.

Gurgling Sounds From Pipes and Drains

Bubble bubble bubble. Do your pipes and drains sound like your stomach when you're hungry? This might mean air's trapped in your pipes because of a clog or backup. When wastewater struggles to flow, it creates air pockets that escape with that familiar gurgling noise.

What Happens During a Sewer Line Replacement?

Hopefully, we can put your worries about your sewer line replacement to rest. It can seem a little scary to dig up your whole line and put a new one in, but we do it every day. We’ll walk you through it. We’ll have so much information for you that you may not have any questions afterward. But if you do, feel free to ask. We won’t complicate things by using lots of plumbing lingo.

Most homeowners are concerned about us having to dig up the yard to get to the sewer line. We wanna put your mind at ease! Before we even dig up one inch of lawn, we’ll make sure we know exactly where your sewer line is at. That way, we’ll do the least amount of digging possible. After the service, we’ll flatten out the dirt and put down some grass seed and hay.

Repairing Vs. Replacing Your Sewer Line

Sometimes, a full sewer line replacement is needed, while other times, a simple repair will do. The decision usually depends on how bad the damage is, how old your sewer line is, and how often you're having problems.

Repairs can be a great option for minor issues like small cracks, localized clogs, or damage that's easy to reach and fix. They're quicker and less invasive, making them the go-to solution when your sewer line's overall integrity is still good. On the flip side, if your sewer line's seriously damaged, over 20 years old, or has constant issues, a full replacement might be the smarter choice.

Choosing a sewer line replacement in Cornelius makes sure you've got a long-term fix, and you can even avoid the hassle of repeated repairs. When you work with Morris-Jenkins, we'll assess your situation to help you make the best choice for your home.

What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

Clogged Mainline

When lots of drains in your house start clogging all at once, it's a clear sign the problem's not just in one pipe—it's in your mainline. This is when backups and other major plumbing issues can start. A blocked mainline can lead to slow drainage, bad sewage smells, or even leaks near your home's foundation. If you've dealt with stubborn clogs that keep coming back, no matter how many times you've had your drains cleaned, it might be time to take a closer look at your sewer line in Cornelius.

Pesky Tree Roots

You probably love the beautiful trees around your home, but those roots are always looking for water—sometimes where they shouldn't be. Even the tiniest gaps in your pipes can attract roots, and once they're in, they keep growing. Over time, they can widen cracks, block water flow, and cause serious damage that might need a repair or full sewer line replacement.

Wet or Smelly Spots in Your Yard

When it's been rainy, you might think a wet patch in your yard is from the rain. But if the problem sticks around no matter the weather, you probably have a leak. You might also notice a lush area (sewage is an unexpectedly good fertilizer) or catch a bad smell in a certain part of your yard.

Protecting Your New Sewer Line From Future Problems

It's easy to feel frustrated when issues pop up in your sewer line. It's buried underground, so how were you supposed to know there was a problem before it got worse? We totally get the frustration. The good news is there are steps you can take to protect your new sewer line and prevent future problems. Here are some tips to help you maintain your sewer line:

Watch What Goes Down the Drain: Don't flush non-degradable items like wipes, paper towels, and personal care products. Stick to toilet paper and human waste.
Be Careful With Food Waste: Make sure to keep grease, fats, and oils out of your drains, as they can harden and cause blockages. Use a strainer in your kitchen sink to catch food particles before they go down.
Manage Your Yard’s Landscaping: Keep trees and shrubs with invasive roots away from your sewer line. Over time, roots can invade pipes and cause major damage.
Schedule Regular Inspections: A professional inspection can catch minor issues before they turn into big problems, saving you time and money in the long run.
