Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repairs or Replacement

Your sewer line will often present early warning signs before a total failure occurs. You should call in the professionals to address these indicators immediately to stop minor issues from spiraling into costly property damage. 

You shouldn’t wait to schedule a sewer line inspection if you notice any of the following problems:

• Slow drains throughout your property: A single slow drain often indicates a localized clog, but multiple slow fixtures signal a blockage deep in your main sewer line. Put simply, if your toilet, sink, and bathtub all drain slowly, the problem likely lies in your sewer line.
• Unpleasant smells: If you smell sewage odors in your yard, basement, or other areas of your property, a crack or break in your line is likely releasing sewer gas.
• Unusual gurgling noises: Listen for strange sounds when you use your plumbing. If flushing the toilet causes the bathtub drain to gurgle, or if running your washing machine affects the toilet water level, air is likely trapped in your sewer line due to a blockage.
• Lush or soggy patches in your yard: If you notice a specific section of grass growing much faster and greener than the surrounding lawn, or if the ground feels soggy despite a lack of rain, you likely have an underground leak.
• Fluctuating toilet water levels: Keep an eye on the water level in your toilet bowl. If it rises or drops significantly without anyone flushing, there may be an issue with the sewer line venting.
• Backups when using other fixtures: Water should never come back up your drains. If flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the shower, or if running a sink causes a backup in a toilet, there is likely a serious main line obstruction that requires immediate attention.

Our team is prepared to quickly and accurately diagnose cracks, blockages, and root intrusions. We prioritize non-invasive solutions whenever possible and can often perform trenchless spot repairs. If necessary, our technicians can also complete traditional pipe patching as needed. 

We may recommend replacing your sewer line if doing so is more cost-effective than multiple repairs. Our team at Copperhead Plumbing & Heating can remove or replace aging or collapsed pipes with corrosion-resistant materials, and we can coordinate the restoration of landscaping and driveways post-installation. Again, we provide warranty protection on all replacement work, and you can expect transparent advice and upfront pricing.

How Often Should I Schedule Sewer Line Cleaning?

Generally, we recommend scheduling professional sewer line cleaning every 18 to 24 months for most homes. Older properties, commercial properties, and properties with a history of frequent clogs or tree root intrusions may benefit from more frequent cleanings.

Routine cleaning helps remove common obstructions before they cause complete blockages. We can deploy cable augers to clear stubborn blockages or employ hydro-jetting to blast away grease, scale, tree roots, and other debris buildups. Our cleaning services are designed to thoroughly flush the lines to help maintain consistent flow and prevent future clogs. 

Professional Sewer Line Installations

If you are building a new home or planning an addition, we can design and install a new sewer main that sets your plumbing up for success. We can excavate and position pipes to code and confirm the correct slope and support. Our technicians can also connect these lines to the municipal lines or septic systems with secure fittings. Then, we can pressure test the new system to verify leak-free performance.
