Dealing with sewer line issues? Don’t let a damaged sewer line lead to further inconvenience or damage to your property.

We also provide services for main water line repairs and replacements, ensuring your complete plumbing system is operating efficiently. 

Signs You Need To Replace Your Sewer Line

Be aware of these signs that might indicate your sewer line needs replacement:

  • Persistent Blockages: Frequent clogs in multiple drains could signal deteriorating sewer lines.

  • Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells from drains or surrounding areas may suggest leaks or cracks.

  • Slow Draining: Sinks, showers, or toilets draining slowly despite efforts to clear blockages could indicate deeper issues.

  • Water Backups: Sewage backups in any part of your plumbing system require immediate attention.

  • Lush Patches in Yard: Overly lush areas in your yard may be due to leaking pipes nurturing the ground above them.

  • Sinkholes or Depressions: Sunken areas in your yard could point to underground sewer line damage.

  • Pest Infestations: Increased activity from pests near sewer lines might indicate structural compromises providing access.

If you observe any of these signs, it’s crucial to act quickly by contacting our experts for an assessment and to discuss your options for repairs or replacement. Delaying can lead to more extensive and costly repairs.

Causes of Sewer Line Damage

Sewer line damage in Montgomery and Frederick Counties can be caused by several factors:

  • Tree Roots: Tree roots seeking moisture can invade and damage sewer pipes.

  • Aging Infrastructure: Older pipes made from materials like clay or cast iron may fail as they age.

  • Ground Shifting: Natural soil movements can cause pipes to shift, crack, or break.

  • Sewage Backup: Indicates a severe sewer line problem, often requiring immediate professional intervention.

  • Blockages: Buildup of grease, debris, or foreign objects can lead to pressure buildup and damage.

  • Extreme Weather: Conditions such as freezing or heavy rainfall can stress and damage sewer lines.

  • Chemical Damage: Corrosive cleaners or chemicals in the soil can degrade pipes over time.

  • Poor Installation: Initially poor installation can predispose sewer lines to frequent issues.
