Sewer Line Repair Options

Spread the love

It seems to happen at the most inconvenient times. For years, you have never needed to worry about your sewer lines. Everything that goes down your drains disappears without a trace, no muss, no fuss. Then one day, it stops working. You flush, the toilet overflows. You shower, there is several inches of water in the tub when you are done. You have a sewer backup and now you have no choice but to worry about your sewer lines.

The first step is to find out what the problem is and what can be done to fix it. A complete sewer backup usually means one of two things: a clog or a break. If there is a soggy spot in your yard or you can smell an odor outside where your sewer line runs, it is most likely a broken pipe. If that is the case, there are a few different repair options available.

  • Sewer line replacement. If you have old pipes, replacing the whole sewer line may be prudent. Repairing one joint then having another break down the road will only cost you more money in the long run.
  • Sewer line repair. If your pipes are in good shape except for the one issue, you may just need a repair to the section.
  • Pipe relining. In some cases, you can save money by having your pipe relined. This does not require digging up the pipe and can save money on materials and labor.

To find out exactly what the issue is and what options you have for repair, call your local sewer repair service. They can use a digital camera to inspect the inside of your sewer lines and give you a diagnosis and repair solutions.
