Tips to Maintain a Sewer Line – Mr. Rooter

Every sewer line is different. So, plumbers Austin do not recommend running a sewer line through a plastic pipe. It may have pressure issues. Sometimes, plastic pipes will expand and that will cause a burst line. And one thing I would also not recommend is digging up your whole yard because that can push the sewer back into your house, or makes the lines go further underground, so the grass can come back and it can be a hazard to your sewer lines, as well.

  2. Tips to Maintain a Sewer Line • Sewer line problems can be caused by many factors. One is human nature. The majority of sewer lines have been underused for years. So, people will cut through sewer lines. Or they may not understand the rules of sewer line maintenance. If you go around a sewer line, you can end up plugging it up. • A lot of sewer lines in cities are being done in the '70s. They were installed in the '50s. So, there is a degradation of the lining of the lines. They are not deep enough to properly house sewerage. So, it becomes susceptible to gas build-up. And if that gas is not properly vented, it will bubble up and eventually cause the line to burst.

  3. So, avoid plowing the area of your sewer line. And, if you see large pipes sticking out of the ground, it could be a sign that someone has cut through it. • And here’s something else you should be careful of, like a large pothole, if you drive over it, even with your car’s parking brake on, it can make it worse. The pavement will collapse underneath and it can expand, so it’s going to push the sewer into the street. And then, if it gets all backed up, that creates a bigger problem, because that is going to back into the sewer and back into your sewer lines. • Every sewer line is different. So, plumbers Austin do not recommend running a sewer line through a plastic pipe. It may have pressure issues. Sometimes, plastic pipes will expand and that will cause a burst line.

  4. And one thing I would also not recommend is digging up your whole yard because that can push the sewer back into your house, or makes the lines go further underground, so the grass can come back and it can be a hazard to your sewer lines, as well. • You can always make sure that when you cut down trees, that you do not cut them into the sewer. It’s a safety concern for both the homeowner and the city because you could end up causing more problems.

  5. Be careful with your sewer lines. Keep them clear of leaves and debris. And if you see large pipes sticking out of the ground, it could be a sign that someone has cut through it. And be careful if you’re driving over large holes in the ground, they can expand, so it’s going to push the sewer into the street. And then, if it gets all backed up, that creates a bigger problem, because that is going to back into the sewer and back into your sewer lines. • Because of the rain, it’s hard to find everything that is an issue. But there are safety precautions you can take to help avoid problems down the line.
