Common Sewer and Drain Line Issues

More times than not, sewer issues aren’t really avoidable and, therefore, you might not even know that something is wrong until your plumbing stops working altogether or you end up with a pool of water in your yard. The following are common sewer line repair and maintenance issues in Seattle that your plumber will check.

For starters, you’ll want your technician to check for offset joints. This occurs when there is an uneven connection between the pipe segments on your property. These uneven connections can eventually lead to sewer problems if they are not corrected.

You could also have holes in your pipes. Once you end up with holes in your pipes, the soil surrounding the pipe could erode into it, causing debris to build up. This debris will then block the flow of water, leading to a backed up system. Cracks in the pipe cause similar problems and are usually the result of a pipe that hasn’t been installed properly. Roots can also penetrate the pipe and cause cracking.

Sagging pipes are common in Puget Sound because the earth frequently shifts. Once one side of a pipe sags, it becomes more difficult for waste to get through the pipes. You can have a sagging pipe fixed, much like these other issues, but you’ll want to have it looked at before the pipe has a chance to break.

If you’re lucky, the only issue might be debris that is stuck in your sewer pipe. If this is the cause, a plumber should be able to fix the problem in a hurry. Hydro jetting is a quick and easy process that Hunt’s Services often uses to remove debris from a pipe. It is safe for the pipes, as well, so there is no risk involved when going this route.

Those who have concrete pipes could run into an issue with exposed aggregate. In basic terms, a concrete pipe is made out of a mix of rock and cement. When the cement starts to erode away, the rock is exposed, leading to severe plumbing problems. In some cases, you might be able to continue using the pipe, but you’ll have to have it inspected every couple of years.

If we find a clog, we then determine the best method to remove it. We don’t recommend the use of chemicals because they are bad for the environment as well as harmful to your plumbing. As mentioned above we can use a snake or auger which is a flexible metal cord that can be run into your line to break down any debris or clog. For more extensive clogs, such as roots or build up of fats and grease, we employ the use of hydro jets to send a strong stream of water into your pipe to break up and flush the blockage out of your side sewer line.

Cleaning or clearing your sewer is not always the solution to your sewer issue.
