Most common sewer line problems

When your plumbing system is old, drainage issues can be frequent. Among the common issues are root intrusion, clogs, misaligned pipes, back-pitched pipes, and leaks.

• Root intrusion: sometimes, roots from the trees on the pavement or in your yard can work their way into the already weak and corroded pipelines. This can block your water supply or the sewage line. This, in turn, can manifest as water backups or severe clogging in your bathroom or kitchen. Clogs result from a build-up of pipe debris, such as hair, grease, or soap scum. This can cause water backups in the drain.
• Misaligned pipes: when the lines are not correctly aligned, it can lead to leaks and improper drainage. The incorrect slope of the pipe means that the water can back pitch and leak.
• Leaks: leaks happen when a rupture or crack in the line allows water to escape. It mostly happens with old plumbing or faulty ones.
• Clogs: clogs or blockages happen due to hair, soap scum, grease, vegetable peeps, and other non-biodegradable stuff that gets stuck in the pipes. So it is advised not to flush anything beyond human waste and toilet-grade paper.

If you anytime see any of these problems, contact a drainage specialist immediately.

Signs of drainage or sewer line damage

Drainage lines and sewer forms the main structure of the plumbing. With time, as these pipelines get old, they start to corrode due to various minerals in water and sewage. Also, we tend to use these structures very irresponsibly- flushing down anything and everything, relying on DIY rather than professionals when something goes wrong, etc.

Here are some of the signs of drainage or sewer line damage and their causes:

• Wet spots: These are caused by leaks due to cracks in the pipe, rust, or incorrect installation.
• Nasty Odor: an odor in your home can be really uncomfortable to live with. It is primarily due to a significant blockage of grease, dirt build-up, or tree roots growing into the line. This can be a side effect of leakage as well.
• Slow draining pipes: this is an effect of a clogged pipeline.
• Gurgling sounds and sink bubble: when air gets trapped because of a blockage in the line.
• Water backs up: backups are also due to blockages. These can be caused by a grease and dirt build-up, a foreign object such as a toy, or tree roots growing into the line.

DIY methods

Homeowners mostly like to try DIY before they plan on calling an expert. These DIY methods can be useful in the short run. However, they are not effective in the long-term scheme of things. Here are a few of the methods that you could try:

• Plunger: plungers are used to create a suction pressure. The technique uses push and pulls to get rid of any small blockage near the surface. However, this does not work in most cases.
• Snaking: in this, a long metal cable is used. It is put inside the drain to get hold of any blockage. This also may not work if the clog is too big.
• Vinegar+ baking soda: this combination is poured down drains to create a chemical reaction. This reaction can help dissolve any minor clogs.

Methods used by professionals

DIY methods only provide temporary relief from clogs and backups. To completely resolve these recurring problems- you will require experts to use their professional practices. Here are a few methods that drainage specialists may use depending on the issue in your household:

• Rooter service: as you can guess from the name, rooter service is used when some roots have invaded the water line or the sewer line. These roots mostly grow from the nearby trees on the pavement or maybe in your yard. On their way to the water source, they may crack already corroded pipes and end up partially or entirely blocking up your drain. The rooter machine has an auger that rotates and removes any roots or major clogs.
• Hydro jetting is a very potent technique that must be used in every home in a few years. In this, a water jet at very high pressure is pushed through the pipes to get rid of any build-up. This can be very helpful in avoiding drainage issues for years to come.
• Chemical cleaning: sometimes, experts may use some chemicals down your drain just to dissolve the minor issues. However, some of these chemicals can slowly corrode the pipes.
• Trenchless replacement of pipes: when a single pipe or just a part of it needs to be changed- the trenchless method can be successfully employed. In this, you do not need to dig up the whole area.
• Traditional trenching is employed to completely replace your drainage or sewer lines. Sometimes repairing the line may so need a trench to be dug up. This can render to be rather expensive than other methods, but it needs to be done when necessary.
