Sewer Line Repair from Conway Services
Sewer Line Repair in Cordova, TN
Sometimes, repair isn’t the answer. It’s never ideal, but there may come a time when trying to repair a damaged sewer line will not solve the issue fully or, at the end of the day, isn’t cost effective since it will need to continually be repaired. That’s when we might suggest replacing your sewer line. A new sewer line can be more cost effective at the end of the day and significantly more efficient.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
If you think your sewer line might be damaged, it’s likely due to one of several common causes. You may have damage because of roots, probably from a tree, that have broken your line by growing through it. This can clog and completely break your sewer line. You could also have severe damage to your line due to corrosion on your pipes leading them to break and bust. Your line can also be a victim of sinking, meaning the soil and area around a part of your line is softer than in other places along the sewer line. That area being soft lets the heavy pipe sink down and eventually breaks your pipe.
Signs of a Broken Sewer Pipe
How can you tell if your sewer pipe is broken? The first and most obvious sign might fly right under your radar as a serious issue. If you’re experiencing all your drains being clogged at once, you probably have sewer line damage. If you notice your yard is changing in strange ways, like in color or suddenly having dead spots, that’s another sign there may be an issue. If you try to unclog a drain and it’s having strange reactions to the tools and methods you’re using then, you guessed it, you might have a sewer line issue.
