Damaged sewer lines are no laughing matter. Whether you’ve started to see puddles forming in the yard, mold and mildew in your basement, or nasty odors throughout the house, a sewer line break can create a big, stinky problem! Fortunately, Morris-Jenkins can help with sewer line repair services right here in Matthews, NC!
You’ll always know the price of your sewer line repair before any work begins.
Pay close attention to the warning cues that you’re about to need sewer line repair. After all, broken sewer lines and pipes won’t fix themselves!
Major clogs deep in your pipes won’t respond to drain cleaners or plunging. If sinks and drains are backing up all the time or you notice a scary gurgling sound coming from the drain when you flush your toilets, you might have a mainline clog.
Yes, one of those long cable snakes might be able to give you some temporary relief, but it won’t fix the root cause. If your mainline is backed up, you might need to have some pipes repaired or replaced.
While you might be dreaming of an in-ground pool at your home, you probably don’t want it to be in the basement! If you’ve started to notice signs of water damage, like stains on your ceilings, walls, or floors, it could be from a broken pipe that needs attention.
If it’s your sewer line, you’ll wanna act fast. Raw sewage can pose some nasty health hazards if your pipes aren’t fixed right away!
If you have a burst sewer line, you could start to notice stinky pools and puddles forming in your yard. No, it’s not the swamp creature – it’s probably a broken sewer line.
You may only need repairs on a single section of pipe rather than a complete tear-out and replacement. Give us a call and we’ll come out to take a look at the damage so we can get it fixed right away.
If it’s been a week since the last storm and you still have a giant puddle in the yard, it’s probably not rain. So what leads to sewer line damage? Here are some of the worst offenders:
In a lot of cases, drain clogs are the result of sending the wrong things down your drain. Even common things like grease and oil harden on the walls of your pipes and cause major backups.
With extra pressure created by blockages, sometimes the clog can cause irreversible damage to your pipes.
Tree roots seek out sources of water, so it’s no surprise that they sometimes grow straight into an underground pipe. When this happens, the roots can constrict and even puncture your pipes. The tree might be happy about it, but you won’t!
If you have steel or iron pipes, they will corrode over time – even if they have an anti-corrosion coating. Water is powerful, and as it flows, it’s gonna wear away your pipes.
First, we’ll inspect your plumbing to find the source of the damage. Once we determine how deep your pipes are and what needs to be done to fix the problem, we can start digging.
We’ll use our camera system and drain cable to find and address any clogs in the mainline first. With our video tools, we can even show you pictures of the problem so you can see it firsthand.
Installing a drain cleanout (one of those white PVC caps you see in some lawns) can help with future repairs and maintenance. These caps allow plumbers to quickly relieve pressure in the plumbing. They can also give convenient access to your pipes if clogs arise in the future!
Once we’ve done the pipe repair, our next job is to make it look like we never dug into your lawn or driveway in the first place. We’ll leave your yard clean and tidy and your pipes in great shape.
When you need someone to fix a problem in your home, you wanna make sure it’s done right the first time! At Morris-Jenkins, we can tackle even the toughest sewer line repairs.
With same-day service, you’ll never get stuck waiting around when an emergency pops up. You can call us, text us, or schedule an appointment online!
