Sewer line repair is definitely not something that you would look forward to. However, when the need presents itself, it needs to be handled quickly and with a high level of professionalism. This is due to the fact that the damages could quickly become irreparable and the entire thing could cost you a great deal.
Why do Sewer Lines Fail?
There are quite a few different reasons for which your sewer line might bust. Let’s take look at the most common reasons:
- Broken, offset, collapsed or cracked pipe – this could have taken place because of frozen ground, shifting soil as well as settling and many more potential reasons.
- Blockage- this could have been cause by grease buildup or by a foreign object which is restricting or prohibiting the flow as well as the cleaning of the line altogether.
- Leaking joints – the seals between your pipes have been broken, which could allow water to escape all around the area surrounding the pipe.
Now that you are aware of the most common reasons for which you are likely to require sewer line repair services let’s take a quick look at some of the popular repair techniques.
The Traditional Sewer Line Repair Method
This is usually performed using the “trench” or the so-called “open cut” method in order to gain access to the area which is surrounding the portion of the pipe that is damaged.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Method
This is an advanced technology that actually prevents any damage to your yard, parking lot or driveway. The process usually involves pipe bursting as well as pipe relining, which are two separate activities required for the trenchless sewer line repair method.
If you have a sewer line in need of repair, make sure you contact specialists quickly. Delaying the repair could cause damages which are far beyond your control. A sewer line can easily flood not only your house or property, but a lot of the surroundings, which is particularly devastating.
