What Leads to Sewer Line Damage?

Sewer line damage can stem from various factors, many of which can be attributed to both human error and natural occurrences. Over time, the constant flow of wastewater can erode the pipes, leading to cracks and leaks, and the type of material used for the sewer line plays a significant role in its longevity.

External factors can also contribute to sewer line deterioration, including:

Tree roots, in their relentless search for water, can infiltrate pipes, causing blockages and structural damage.
Ground shifting due to factors like heavy rainfall, drought, or construction can put immense pressure on the sewer line, resulting in cracks or breaks.
The improper disposal of waste products can lead to clogs that, if left unattended, can cause severe damage to the pipes.

The age of the sewer line can also influence how susceptible the system is to damage. Older pipes are more likely to experience wear and tear, increasing the risk of damage. Regular inspections and maintenance can help prolong the life of your sewer line and prevent costly repairs.

Types of Sewer Line Issues

Several common sewer line issues that necessitate professional repair include the following:

Clogs. Accumulations of grease, hair, and other debris can restrict or completely block your sewer line, leading to backups and unpleasant odors.
Tree root intrusions. As we mentioned, these roots search out moisture, which can lead to them penetrating your sewer pipes and causing blockages and structural damage.
Pipe damage. Cracks, breaks, or collapses in the sewer line can result from age, ground shifting, or heavy loads.
Corrosion. Over time, sewer pipes, especially older metal ones, can corrode and weaken, leading to leaks and failures.
Offset pipes. Misaligned pipes can cause blockages, reduce flow, and increase the risk of backups.

DIY vs. Professional Sewer Line Repair

Tackling a sewer line repair yourself might seem like a way to save money, but it's a complex undertaking fraught with potential pitfalls. Unlike simpler plumbing issues, sewer line problems require specialized knowledge, equipment, and often permits.

To even start the repair work, you would need a camera to inspect the line and identify the cause of the issues. You would then need excavation tools. Digging up your yard to access the line is physically demanding and time-consuming, not to mention the potential damage to landscaping. Sewer lines are under pressure, and improper repairs can result in leaks, backups, and contamination risks because of the exposure to raw sewage.

Furthermore, misdiagnosing the root cause of the issue can lead to ineffective repairs or even exacerbate the problem. Professionals can help you mitigate these risks because of their experience and often offer warranties on their work, which can help you avoid wasting your money.
