Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

Don’t wait long to schedule sewer services with a professional.

What good would your plumbing system be without a functional drainage system and sewer lines? The sewer lines in your home are a feature of the modern plumbing system that most of us could not imagine getting by without. The sewer and drain lines are out of view so many homeowners don’t think about the waste that goes through them. This can also mean that many homeowners end up neglecting their sewer lines until they require major repair.

What Causes Sewer Lines Issues?

Sewer drain lines are abused by what we are putting down our drains. Many times, we use our garbage disposals as garbage cans! Garbage disposals are designed to grind up the residual food that is left over on dishes. Drains should not be used for any food waste; any waste should be disposed of in the trash or compost. Heavy garbage disposal usage will result in build-up on the interior of your pipes and make clogs appear more frequently. Never put fats, oils, or grease down your home drains.

Another culprit of sewer line drainage issues is the toilet!

The toilet often causes sewer line drainage issues. Flush only the three P’s: pee, poo, and toilet paper. Feminine products, condoms, cigarette butts, kitty litter, diapers, toy cars, cotton balls or swabs, excessive hair and the like should NEVER be flush down the toilet. A new major concern and cause for heavy sewer drain clogs are the “flushable toilet wipes” and cleaning product wipes. Even if it says ‘flushable,’ don’t flush it. Really think about it…many items would actually fit down the toilet that we throw away, but we wouldn’t flush them!

How Much Damage Can A Tree Really Do To My Sewer Line?

Root invasion from nearby trees or shrubbery is one of the most common septic and sewer line issues in Arizona. Roots will destroy a sewer drain line quickly, especially in the desert! It’s free, fertilize water. What tree wouldn’t love that? Roots can infiltrate through weak joint or corrode areas of the sewer line. Once inside the sewer line, the roots will grow at incredible speed. There is no way to get the roots out with a product as there was a weak spot in the system that allowed them in the pipe in the first place. HomeField can positively identify the point of entrance with our video camera inspection and correct the issue to prohibit the roots from spreading.

Old Plumbing - Cast Iron and Orangeburg Plumbing

Old plumbing and old sewer drain lines can quickly become the culprit for continuous line clogs or drainage issues. Here in Arizona, we often find breaks or corrosion with old cast-iron or Orangeburg plumbing lines that must be replaced. These older plumbing drain lines were practical for use but have overtime become corroded and damaged. Cast-iron sewer lines eventually rust and deteriorate, causing water and joint leaks. If not caught early, repairs can cost thousands. Orangeburg pipes, made of rolled paper, dry out and become brittle in desert climates. Homeowners often don’t know their sewer line material. Orangeburg can be punctured during routine rooter service if the technician is unaware. Unlike ABS or PVC, which steer rooter blades, Orangeburg easily gets pierced, leading to leaks and root infestations.

Sewer Line Settling - Bellies or Dips in the Sewer Line

Settling can occur over time for sewer and septic drain lines.

This can occur from obscure ground conditions, compaction issues or heavy traffic over the area. The settling can cause bellies in the sewer line which may lead to continuous clogging issues. We can detect these issues with a sewer video camera inspection. Often, replacing belly areas can fully restore your septic or sewer drain lines.

Broken septic or sewer lines are usually noticed by wet spots found in the area directly above the sewer line.

The ground will become saturated where the break has occurred. With our video camera inspection, we can quickly identify the severity of the septic or sewer line breaks and provide an on-site estimate for the replacement of the troubled area.

Sewer line breaks can occur within the pipe itself from roots, settling or heavy traffic over the area.

Sewer or septic drain line leaks can also occur by misaligned or offset pipe joints. Whatever the cause of your leak, HomeField will be able to locate the problem area and get you back to full functioning state in no time at all.
