What Causes Sewer Issues?
Sewer line damage can be caused by many different things. One of the main causes is tree roots. Tree roots constantly seek moisture and often find it in sewer lines. Older clay pipes are most susceptible to invasion because they’re easily cracked.
Tree roots use these tiny cracks to get water, which increases the damage. Over time, tree roots can penetrate more durable concrete and PVC pipes. When you plan your landscaping projects, you need to give your sewer line plenty of room.
Broken or clogged sewer lines can have other causes besides tree root damage. Objects, like a child’s toy, can get into the line and become lodged. Extreme temperature changes and general pipe deterioration can cause sewer lines to twist, bend, or break.
Broken sewer lines are common in soils susceptible to ground shifting, and improperly installed sewer lines can lead to misalignment.
Our Professional Sewer Repairs
A clogged sewer line creates big problems with your plumbing, which can only be cleared up with professional sewer line repair. If you’ve noticed that your drains are draining slowly or you hear a gurgling sound coming from your toilet, it’s time to call our professional plumbers.
Our plumbing experts will start with a video sewer inspection to find the cause of the problem and then help you decide on the best course of action for your repairs.
Video Camera Inspections for Sewer Lines
One of our tools for identifying sewer line blockages is a camera inspection. A tiny, flexible sewer camera attached to a snake-like cable is fed through the sewer pipe until it reaches the cause of the clog or break.
A radio transmitter on the camera records the physical location of the line and its depth from the surface. This allows the plumber to locate exactly where the blockage is and what work needs to be done to repair it.
Sewer Line Replacement in Portland
Sometimes, replacement is the best course of action for sewer issues. In this case, we can perform trenchless sewer replacement to handle the job without major excavation. This involves using a flexible tube coated with resin and inserting it inside the existing sewer line.
The resin will harden and create a new pipe within the damaged pipe. Homeowners often prefer this method because it’s less invasive and doesn’t damage their landscape.
