Sewer Repair

Can you tell when your sewer line needs to be repaired? 

There are ways to tell when you should contact a plumber regarding your sewer line. If a gurgling sound is coming from your drains, this could be an indication of leaks or damage somewhere along your sewer line. Also, if any residue rises out of your drain when you're running water, such as when you're washing dishes or taking a shower, this can be an indication that there is damage in your sewer line.

Sewer line damage can be caused by a number of factors. Tree roots are one of the most persistent causes of sewer line damage. The roots can penetrate the pipes, causing leaks and damage. Drastic changes in temperature can cause damage, such as when the ground freezes and then thaws. Old and outdated pipes are susceptible to cracks and ruptures due to being in the ground for so long. Homeowners may also damage sewer lines when digging for a landscape project.

While old pipes will naturally wear over time, recurring problems can be prevented with routine maintenance and inspections once or twice a year. We can send out a technician to check the pipelines on your property with sewer cameras. Also, if you have a septic tank, ongoing maintenance and inspections are necessary to ensure that your tank doesn't burst.

We have expert technicians who can repair your sewer line or conduct inspections on your pipelines or septic tank. Contact Plano Plumbers today and let us know how we can help.
