Water & Sewer Line  
Repair

Unfortunately, all homes require maintenance and repairs from time to time. When you have a water or sewer line repair issue, you’ll require an experienced and competent plumber to assist. All homes need a reliable supply of fresh, clean water, whether it’s for bathing, washing dishes, cleaning or doing laundry. When something goes wrong with your water supply it can become a serious health and hygiene issue, not to mention causing huge amounts of discomfort and inconvenience.

Signs Of Problems Within The Sewer System

There are several tell-tale signs that strongly indicate an issue somewhere within the sewer system. Most of these signs are unpleasant and can lead to large degrees of discomfort in the home.

Blockages and backups, whether in toilets, sinks or showers, are typically indicative of problems in the drain. Issues may be isolated to one drain or affect the main sewer line. Similarly, slow drainage also suggests problems, especially if you have already attempted to clear the pipes but with no success.

Sewer smells indicate that there is likely a crack somewhere throughout the sewerage system. You should never be able to smell sewer gases in your home.

Pests, such as rodents, cockroaches and certain types of flies, can enter a home easier when there are splits in a sewer pipe. All pose dangers to health.

Outside, broken sewer lines can cause sagging under lawns or cracked and sunken paving slabs. Patches of grass that seem particularly fertile may also indicate leaks in a sewer line; sewage and extra water provides extra nutrients to grass, which can make it taller or greener than surrounding vegetation.

Water and Sewer Line Services

When you spot any issue with your water or sewer line, don’t delay contacting a professional.

Common repairs include installation of a backwater valve, an important part of a sewerage system that prevents raw sewage from flowing back into your home in the case of blockages, for example, in the municipal sewer line. Nobody wants waste bubbling up through their toilet!

A sewer trap is a curved section of pipe that functions as a barrier in the drainpipe. It stops foul-smelling sewer gases from wafting back out of the drain and into the home. Sewer trap repair and installation is a vital part of home maintenance.

You may want to upgrade your wastewater system with a grinder pump system installation. Grinder pumps are advanced types of sewer pumps that, as the name suggests, grind up waste material before they pass into the main sewer system. Grinder pumps are especially important in homes that lie lower than the main municipal sewer line.
