4 Signs You May Need Sewer Repair

To help prevent the need for an entire residential sewer replacement, here are some common signs to look for so you can have them addressed promptly.

• Sewage backups: If your sewer line is clogged, the sewage has nowhere to go so you may experience sewage backing up into your drains.

• Unpleasant odors: Even if you can’t see sewage, you may definitely start to smell it. Sewage has a foul odor, similar to rotten eggs. If you notice unpleasant odors in your home, especially your drains, it could be a sign your sewer line is full.

• Soggy lawn: When an underground sewer line is damaged, sewage may begin to pool in your yard. When this happens, you’ll experience standing water and areas of your lawn that are much greener than other parts.

• Spikes in your water bill: Is your water bill surprisingly higher than it should be? It could be a problem with your sewer line. If you can’t seem to explain the rise in your water bill, it might be a good idea to have a plumber inspect your plumbing.

Need Portland Residential Sewer Repair? We’re Experts in the Field

While traditional sewer line repairs require a lot of digging and time, today’s methods are very cost-effective and require little to no digging. We pride ourselves on keeping abreast of the latest and greatest plumbing trends. 

These trenchless methods include:

• Pipe lining – If there’s only minor damage to your sewer line, epoxy resin can be applied to the interior of the pipe. This process uses an inflatable tube to repair leaks, which is removed once the epoxy cures and hardens.
• Pipe bursting – If the sewer line damage is more than minor, pipe bursting may be recommended. This process is more invasive than pipe lining but doesn’t require excavation. Plumbing technicians will feed a cone-shaped bit through your sewer line, destroying the existing pipe, while simultaneously replacing it with a newer one.
