FIXING SEWER AND WATER LINES SINCE 2001!
Sewer lines
It’s always a good idea to think preventive measures, such as an annual sewer line cleaning. If your sewer line is jeopardized, tree roots can eventually start creeping in, causing a blockage. It’s not fun when your sewer backs up into your basement.
Fixing a broken sewer line is absolutely necessary, as it may pose a health risk to everyone in your home, especially if you have people who are more at risk health-wise.
What causes sewer lines to break?
There are a few things which could cause your sewer line to break, including:
- Corroded cast iron pipes that then rust and break
- Home shifting can cause ABS/PVC plastic pipes to crack or break.
- Movements in the earth around clay pipes can cause them to crack if not installed properly
- Water or ground pressure can cause all types of pipes to break
Water lines
Having your water affected by broken water lines is not only a major inconvenience but also potentially expensive if nothing is done to fix it.
You might know if your water line is broken if:
- If you hear water running and all fixtures are turned off
- You have a reduction in water pressure
- Your water is discoloured
