Camera Pipe Inspection & Trenchless Pipe Repair Experts

The Biggest Signs That Your Sewer Line is Failing

Every day, thousands of sewer lines malfunction or fail. Knowing the signs of a failing sewer line allows you to take prompt action and arrange for a repair with a trusted contractor. 

Make sure you are aware of the signs regarding a failing sewer line. If you notice any of the following warnings, give us a call:

Drain Backups

A failed sewer line will not drain the wastewater properly. Instead, the wastewater backs up into plumbing fixtures within the home. Sewage may enter the toilet, bathtub, or sinks. Many homeowners hear gurgling or any other unusual sounds from the drains.

Foul Odors

When wastewater sits in a failing sewer line, the sewer gasses travel through it and enter the home. These gasses release a foul odor that most people find disgusting. Exposure to sewage gasses may cause nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Standing Water/Sinkholes 

Leaking wastewater from a failed sewer line oversaturates the soil within a matter of days. A particular area of the yard turns wet, muddy or develops puddles of foul wastewater, even if no precipitation has fallen. In areas with clay soil, oversaturation of the soil exerts a lot of pressure, which may damage a home’s foundation.

How do you clean out blockages within the pipe?

Depending on the condition of your pipe, we will decide which or both of the following techniques will be used:

Descaling

Especially in cast iron pipes, where the cast iron material rots and deteriorates, also when pipes have build-ups of hardened waste, root infiltration, and other contaminants descaling the pipe will restore the normal flow.

What is CIPP?

As a permanent solution, Cured-In-Place-Pipe Lining (CIPP)  is the superior option, ultimately giving you a seamless pipe with no joints. Using the most advanced equipment and longest-lasting materials, we insert a felt liner saturated in epoxy resin that is inverted into the original pipe using air pressure, which then hardens, providing a long-lasting newly lined pipe.

What are the benefits of CIPP?

Trenchless pipe rehabilitation allows pipes to be fixed and plumbing to be restored back in service in a matter of hours without digging up your building’s floors, walls, or house and yard. This method’s minimal invasiveness, speed, accuracy, and precision will benefit you.
