Common Sewer Pipe Issues We Deal With

Your sewer pipe system can come across a variety of problems, some of which can cause the pipes to malfunction or become damaged. The good news is that Sewer Pro offers top-notch sewer repair in Gahanna, OH. We have ample experience in all types of pipework and have the know-how to get your sewer pipes back on track. We’ve listed the common sewer pipe issues that we can help you with.

1. Root Infiltration

Roots are one of the biggest enemies of a sewer pipe because the roots can find their way into the pipes and cause severe blockage or damage. As the roots grow, they expand and take up residence within the pipes. Sewer pipe line repair services may be necessary if the roots have started causing damage.

Take note, however, that a major case of tree root intrusion can prompt the need for a complete sewer line replacement. Be sure to consult our team so we can determine the best course of action to take for your specific situation.

2. Pipe flooding

When your sewer pipe cannot handle the amount of water flowing through it, it will likely break and you’ll need to replace the sewer line. Aging pipes, defective pipework, or a combination of both commonly cause this issue. When the pipe breaks, the water has to go somewhere, so it may start leaking through your lawn, yard, walls, or floors.

3. Minor Corrosion

As wastewater flows through a pipe, it may contain substances, minerals, and chemicals or byproducts that corrode your pipes over time. Sewer repair services might suffice if you notice this issue early enough. However, once corrosion has begun, it’s only a matter of time before the damage becomes irreversible. This means that, as mentioned above, while repairs can sometimes remedy the issue, a complete replacement is often the ideal solution.

Other issues such as settling due to improper installation can be traced back to an unreliable contractor, so make sure to work with a reputable sewer services provider like Sewer Pro. Contact us today to set up an appointment.
