Signs of sewer line repair

Here are signs that your home’s sewer line repair Indianapolis or surrounding areas may be necessary:

1. Clogged Pipes: Clogged pipes can be signs of a sewer main issue from backed up toilets to non-biodegradable products not going down the drain. Bubbling sounds coming from the toilet can also mean clogged pipes.
2. Flooding Around the Home: Wastewater should stay in the ground and away from your home. If you can see or feel any wastewater flooding in the soil around your home, or on the street, then you may have a broken sewer or clogged sewer line.
3. Repetitive Clogged Drains: A clog every so often is not a big deal. However, if you have a clog more frequent than not, there is a high probability something else is going on.
4. Higher Water & Sewer Bills: Keeping track of your average water and sewer bill is helpful to recognize a spike in the bill. If there is a sudden hike in your water or sewer bills then the likelihood you have a broken sewer main is probable.

Excavation Repair

Your home’s sewer line is on the exterior perimeter of your home meaning your yard will have to be dug up to make the repair. When a problem is identified, the sewer pipe repair will be made after digging into the ground to expose the pipe. Your landscape, patio, driveway or lawn may have to be dug through in order to get to the exact location of the broken pipe. Excavation involves special equipment and operators and will add to your total sewer pipe project.

Non-Excavation Repair

There are cases when excavation can be avoided. When sewer line repair below the surface involves replacing a functioning pipe into your existing sewer main this can be done without excavation.

 Non-excavation repairs include Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) and trenchless pipe bursting. Trenchless CIPP is a method of pulling an epoxy pipe through your sewer system. This pipe actually clears as it is inserted and then stays in place in the event the pipe is cracked. Trenchless pipe bursting is very similar. A pneumatic or hydraulic head is pulled through your home’s sewer pipes. A new pipe is inserted along the way.

Sewer Pipe Leak

Sewer lines that develop leaks are generally related to tree roots that grow inside the pipe. This will cause an expansion inside the pipe and the pipe to break apart. Pipes can also come apart at the glued joint space. If you notice pooling in your yard, or smell sewage inside your home, you need to call a plumber!
