How to Tell If a Sewer Line Replacement is Necessary

There are some symptoms you’ll want to watch for that could be telltale signs your sewer line requires some attention. From there, a technician will let you know if it requires a replacement or if a sewer repair is possible.

First, you could notice your sewer line is slow to drain. You can attempt to alleviate the issue with a plunger, but professional assistance could be necessary if that doesn’t work.

You could also detect a pool of yard in your yard or a robust sulphuric smell inside or outside your home when you have a sewer line problem. Once again, the severity of the leak will determine the next steps, but it’s advisable to get Hunt’s Services on the job as soon as possible to limit property damage.

You might have a sewer line problem if your toilet bubbles when you flush it. While there’s a chance this bubbling results from a minor clog, these blockages can escalate over time if you don’t adequately address them, causing a crack or break in your sewer pipe.

Seeing rats, cockroaches, ants, or other pests inside your home could also mean there’s a sewer line problem. These systems are supposed to be air-tight, but pests can breach them once there’s damage to the sewer line.

Watch for these sewer line problems so you can quickly get a technician on the job. Hunt’s Services is standing by at 253-533-7500 to repair or replace your sewer line in Bellevue and throughout Puget Sound.

Causes of Sewer Line Damage

Sewer issues don’t have a singular cause. Many things can happen to your pipes over time, and preventing many of these problems is next to impossible.

Western Washington has a lot of old trees, and these trees have massive root systems that can extend for miles. As these roots grow, they seek underground moisture to sustain the tree. Since sewer pipes contain water, roots will often wrap around and eventually punch a hole in them, causing issues for the homeowner.

Some older sewer lines are made from cast iron or steel. While these materials are solid and durable, they can corrode over time when exposed to specific contaminants.

It’s worth touching on extreme temperatures and the damage they can do to your sewer line, as we’re seeing them more often in the Bellevue area. Cold weather can freeze any water sitting in these pipes, expanding it in the process. This expanding water can crack your pipes as it grows. Hot weather can also damage sewer lines, but this is a rare problem you’re unlikely to encounter in Washington.

Hunt’s Services Sewer Line Replacement

When you get Hunt’s Services on your sewer line job, we’ll do everything possible to repair it first. This visit could involve a trenchless repair technique called pipe lining.

In short, pipe lining involves using an inflatable tube to expand the pipe while we apply an epoxy resin. Once the resin hardens, it re-lines the pipe and should hold up for years to come.

When the damage is more significant, a sewer line replacement could be the only option. One of our most popular trenchless sewer line replacement methods is called pipe bursting, where we’ll burst the pipe into the soil and replace it with a new sewer line.
