A damaged sewer line can lead to serious problems for your home or business, and acting quickly is key to preventing further complications. At Flowpipe Plumbing, our skilled technicians are trained to address a wide range of sewer line issues, restoring your plumbing system and ensuring it works properly.
Common Issues:
Broken, Cracked, or Collapsed Pipes: Shifting soil, freezing temperatures, or general wear and tear can cause sewer pipes to break, crack, or collapse. This can lead to blockages or even complete failure of your plumbing system.
Blockage: Sewer lines can become clogged by grease, debris, or even foreign objects, restricting water flow and causing backups in your drains. Our team is skilled in clearing these blockages and restoring proper drainage.
Corrosion: Over time, sewer pipes can corrode, leading to leaks, blockages, or pipe collapses. Replacing or restoring these corroded pipes is essential to maintaining a healthy plumbing system.
Sunken (Bellied) Pipes: When soil shifts or settles unevenly, sections of your sewer line can sink, creating dips where waste and debris collect. These “bellies” in the pipe can cause repeated blockages and slow drainage.
Leaking Joints: The seals between pipes can break down over time, allowing water to leak into the surrounding ground. This can lead to water damage, erosion, and other serious issues.
Root infiltration: Tree roots can invade sewer lines in search of water, causing blockages or even damaging the pipes. Root intrusion is a common cause of recurring sewer problems and needs to be addressed quickly to prevent further damage.
Old or Substandard Pipes: Older sewer lines made from outdated materials can deteriorate over time, leading to frequent leaks or other issues. Replacing these pipes with modern, durable materials can prevent ongoing problems.
Sewer line belly: A section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
At Flowpipe Plumbing, we don’t just patch up the symptoms—we find the root cause of your sewer line issues and provide solutions that last. From trenchless pipe restoration to full-scale replacements and excavation, we offer options that minimize disruption and keep your plumbing flowing smoothly.
