What Role Do Sewer Lines Play in Your Plumbing
Sewer lines play an essential role in your home or business’s plumbing, allowing sewage and wastewater to flow out of your property and into city sewer lines or a septic tank. When a sewer line becomes damaged, it can lead to a backup of sewage in your yard or home through drains, causing a mess, creating a health hazard, and leading to business downtime. When a sewer line is failing, you will likely notice several symptoms. Let’s look at what causes sewer lines to fail and the symptoms you may notice when they do.
What Causes Sewer Lines to Fail
Like any other piece of plumbing, sewer lines can fail over time from wear and tear and other causes that are out of your control. Over time, sewer lines may rust and corrode away, leading to cracks and even complete ruptures, leaking sewage, and stopping the safe sewage from flowing out of your home. Tree roots and other plants planted over sewer lines can also intrude into the lines and cause damage. Extreme weather changes and colder weather can also damage sewer lines as they cause water to freeze and expand inside the line, cracking pipes and exerting large amounts of pressure. Digging in your yard around sewer lines can also run the risk of damaging a sewer line, and this is part of the reason you want professionals like the ones at RootBGone Sewer and Drain Cleaning to perform your sewer line excavation. Our team has the tools and experience to excavate your sewer line for repair safely.
How Sewer Lines are Excavated
Before beginning a sewer line excavation, the RootBGone Sewer and Drain Cleaning team will carefully mark off the aboveground area to locate the underground sewer line. We will then begin to use heavy machinery to excavate the top layer of soil around the sewer line. Once we are closer to the sewer line, we will manually excavate it around the line to prevent damage that can be done to the sewer line by heavy machinery. Once the line has been fully excavated, we can do any repairs needed to restore the sewage flow out of your home. After the sewer line has been repaired, our team will carefully and evenly backfill the sewer line with the excavated soil.
