Keep reading to learn more about the causes of sewer line damage and why sewer pipe replacement is recommended in certain cases.
What Causes Sewer Line Damage?
You may not realize it, but your home’s sewer pipe is responsible for removing all the water you use in your home. Not just water from toilets, but water from your kitchen sinks, washing machine, dishwasher, bathtubs, showers, and water softeners. Within a year’s time, that’s thousands upon thousands of gallons of water moving through a 2”-3” pipe. You can imagine the amount of wear and tear your sewer pipe endures over time.
Wear and tear isn’t the only reason sewer pipes become damaged. Some, especially cast-iron pipes, begin to corrode. If you pour chemicals down your drains frequently, this can speed up the process. Clay pipes become damaged from changes in the soil, root intrusion, and even large clogs that put pressure on aging pipes.
When is Replacement the Better Option?
Any time a customer hears they have a sewer problem, they automatically prefer repairing the damage rather than installing a new line. The reasoning behind their preference is the belief that repair costs less and doesn’t take as long. While this can be true, it’s not a hard and fast rule. In fact, sometimes repairs can cost more in the long run if the problem keeps coming back. This is especially true with older pipes.
Sewer replacement is often recommended when the pipe is bellied, corroded, or damaged to a point where there’s very little pipe material left, or when the pipe is nearing the end of its lifespan. Our plumbers in Douglasville, GA, and nearby areas use state-of-the-art tools to identify the problem. We make recommendations for plumbing repair, plumbing replacement, and plumbing maintenance based on the information we gather and our expertise.
