Sewer Line Repair/ Replacement: Signs Your Pipes Are Failing

1. Sewer Line Repair/ Replacement: Signs Your Pipes Are Failing Sewer line repair: These three words are dreaded by homeowners across the country, and no wonder. Sewer line repair is often expensive, and residents are typically responsible for the portion of the sewer line running from the house to the street. Usually, older steel or clay pipes may simply disintegrate altogether, tree roots can grow through pipes and built-up gunk can clog pipes. Fortunately, if you can spot the following early indications of failing plumbing, you can usually save yourself money and heartache. Tubs, sinks and showers that drain slowly Slowly draining sinks, tubs and showers can be infuriating. In such irritating situations, it can be tempting to respond by simply dumping Drano or Liquid Plumber down the lagging drain, but this is unwise when dealing with older steel or clay pipes. In such case you must have clay sewer pipe replacement. Older pipes can easily be eaten away by these harsh products. Furthermore, a slowly draining pipe is often the first indication of a larger plumbing problem. To protect your pipes, call a professional plumber when you discover a slow-draining pipe. A plumbing contractor can deliver an expert assessment of the best way to maintain your home's sewer system.

2. Odd sounds and smells Strange, strong smells and unusual sounds are other signs of a sewer line problem. Sewer line repair may be required if your toilet is making strange gurgling noises or if a sewage sinkhole shows up in your yard. Foundation-level water damage Sewer damage can cause extra moisture to leak through your home's foundation. If you see cracking around your home's foundation, or moisture on your basement walls, call a plumbing contractor to double check that the wetness isn't caused by a plumbing or sewer line problem. Changing water levels in the toilet bowl In the morning, you notice that the water level in the toilet bowl is very low. Yet that evening, the bowl may be almost full. Such shifting water levels are often a sign of a failing sewer system, so call a professional plumber for clay sewer pipe replacement, if you notice this phenomenon.

3. Staining around basement drains Another indication that the sewer line needs the attention of a professional plumber is water ring staining around basement drains. Booming pest populations Malfunctioning sewer lines are like magnets to mice, rats and some insect pests.
