Sewer Line Repair Specialists in Mint Hill, NC

When to Repair Your Sewer Lines

If you’ve noticed your water bill creeping up, you may wanna know if you can afford to ignore the problem for a few weeks. What’s the worst that can happen? There’s a lot of damage that can happen even with a small leak, so we’ll never recommend waiting. Your pipe isn’t gonna heal itself, so the problem will only get worse.

It’s a good idea to call for a sewer line repair as soon as possible if you notice any signs of a leak. This could be stains on the walls, ceiling, or floor of your house. It could be an increase in the number of pests you’re having to deal with. It could even be a damp spot in your yard that isn’t from accidentally leaving your hose on for a couple of hours.

Causes of Sewer Line Problems

Unless you’re a plumber, you might not know what causes sewer line problems. You may not even realize that something you’re doing is damaging your pipes. Here are the three most common causes of sewer line problems and how you can prevent needing a sewer line repair.

• Clogged Lines: Did you know clogs can cause leaks? When water is flowing well through the pipes, it won’t usually have time to find imperfections in the pipes. It’s gonna keep going until it gets to the water treatment plant. But if there’s a clog, the water will sit in your pipes and eventually find a way to leak out. You can avoid this problem by having your drains cleaned and by keeping clogging materials out of your drains.
• Tree Roots: Tree roots like water and they’re great at finding any tiny little cracks in your pipes to get to it. By repairing small problems with your pipes, you can keep roots from growing in and making the problem worse.
• Pipe Corrosion: If you have old pipes, corrosion won’t be too unexpected. Galvanized pipes can corrode even faster than other materials. But, if you stay away from chemical drain cleaners, you can keep the corrosion from speeding up.
