TOP SIGNS IT’S TIME TO PERFORM A SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT
Having your sewer line malfunction or break is something you should avoid at all costs. Getting a sewer line replacement isn’t cheap, but fixing damages that result from a malfunctioning or broken line will cost you much more. Be proactive by getting a re-placement before water damage occurs in your home.
How can you know when to get a replacement? Check out the top four signs that will signal when you need to replace your sewer line.
1. OLD AGE
Unfortunately, sewer lines don’t last forever. Like everything else, sewer lines wear down over time and need replacing. If your home is more than 50 years old, you likely need to replace your sewer line. The older pipes get, the more problems they have— such as corrosion.
2. LONG-TERM ISSUES
If you have experienced repetitive plumbing-related issues in your home for more than a few months, this is a sign that you need to hire a certified plumber to perform a sewer line replacement. As pipes age, they fail to keep up with the demand for daily use.
Your sewer line will continue to lose efficiency until it’s replaced, so it’s best to go ahead and conduct a water or sewer line installation project before you encounter clogged drains in your house.
3. TREE ROOTS
As trees grow, their roots can interfere with underground systems—such as sewer lines. This problem is more difficult to detect because it’s invisible above the ground, but under the surface, major damage is occurring. The tree roots will wrap around pipes and create either breaks or clogs. The solution? Talk with a licensed technician about the advantages of performing a sewer line replacement. To prevent issues in the future, you will either need to cut the roots down or remove the tree altogether.
4. FREQUENT CLOGS
The cause of frequent pipe clogging could be anything from intrusive tree roots to a broken pipe. Either way, you probably need to replace your sewer line to fix the problem.
