6 Pacific, MOSewer Line Damage Signs to Watch Out For:

Some plumbing issues, like a leaking faucet, are easy to notice. Sewer line damage, however, is not, which makes learning the different signs essential. On their own, the clues below could be a sign of another plumbing issue, but the more that add up, the more likely it is that your Pacific, MO sewer line needs repairs:

1. Odor/Smell - If your backyard always seems to have a gross, sewage smell, that's the best clue that your sewer line could be broken. Don't inhale too deep: It can have negative health effects.
2. Gurgling - If air is entering your home's plumbing through a damaged sewer line, gurgling can occur throughout the house.
3. Slow Drain - If you're having trouble with multiple drains around your home not performing well, that is often a sign of a broken sewer line. This is especially the case if treating the individual drains doesn't seem to help.
4. Green and/or Soggy Yard - If your backyard has strange wet spots that never seem to go away, or odd patterns of greener grass, that can be a sign that your sewer line is leaking into the yard, creating puddles and fertilizing the grass.
5. Pests - The stench of leaking sewage will attract pests, such as rats, mice, and bugs. They'll turn your yard into a breeding ground, and will explore the area, and potentially go up the sewage pipe into your house.
6. Major Water Bill Fluctuation - Unexpected spikes in water bills can be the result of a broken sewer pipe, creating a flow of water that runs all month long.

Common Sewer Line Damage Causes:

Now that you know the signs of potential sewer pipe damage, let's look at some of the potential causes. There are a variety of ways that sewer lines can break in Pacific, MO, but the most frequent are:

• Wear and Tear - Inevitably, your pipes will wear down and develop cracks, even just from general use. Putting substances like oils or cleaners down the drain can cause the damage to occur faster. Ensuring that they're all regularly and properly cleaned helps extend their lifespan.
• Blockages/Clogs - Blockages in the line exacerbate other issues, as well as increasing corrosion and pressure in the line, eventually causing cracks to develop.
• Tree Roots - Sewage leaking from a break provides sustenance to plants like trees, which will grow roots in the area to capitalize on the available nutrients. It's unlikely that they will cause a leak in the first place, but can aggravate the issue.

With proper installation and maintenance, sewer line repairs should not be frequently required. However, breaks do still occur, even when you're careful. When that happens, your plumber will need to use the right method to quickly and properly fix the issue, and avoid high costs or inconveniences in your life.

How We Repair Pacific, MO Sewer Lines

At Drain Cleaning St. Louis, we cover all your home's plumbing and sewer line repair needs. When our expert plumbers first arrive at your home, we'll consult with you to learn more about the situation and then take a deep look into your home's plumbing system to find the cause of the problem. We check for leaks using a top-of-the-line drain camera to see all throughout your pipes, and can confirm if there is a clog, crack, or any other issue with your sewer line.

After we've found a break in a sewer line, our technicians use the best repair method available for the circumstances. If we can, we will avoid excavating your lawn with one of the following trenchless sewer line repair methods:

• Pipe Bursting - A process in which a new pipe is pulled through your old one, breaking the former sewer line apart and replacing it with a new one, right in the same place. By using the existing line as a guide, this replacement method doesn't require trenches to be dug in your yard.
• Pipe Lining - Similar to pipe bursting, this also works with the existing pipes to minimize disruptions. Pipe lining uses a smaller pipe that is placed inside of the existing sewer line, covering any cracks. The liner pipe is measured to fit perfectly inside the damaged line, is secured with epoxy, and circumvents the leaks and keeps your sewage flowing.
• Sectional Pipe Point Repair - Sectional pipe point repair is very similar to pipe lining, as it also is based around pulling a liner pipe through the damaged sewer pipe. The main difference is that while pipe lining tends to cover a large section of the existing pipe, point repairs only cover a smaller section with the leak.

Each of these methods lets us fix your property, quicker with fewer disruptions. Sewer line repairs aren't still a week-long project that disrupts your routine and wrecks your landscape. With modern techniques, We can make it faster and more affordable than ever before.

There are still times where larger-scale repairs will be necessary, but, we always check to see if a trenchless option is available. And in any case, we reconnect and test your pipes again afterwards, to verify that your new pipe is fixing the problem we set out to solve.

Preventing Damage to Your Pacific, MO Sewer Lines

For any sewer line, taking care of it will help extend its lifespan and reduce the need for repairs. We've written out some advice you can use to protect your sewer line from wear and prevent the need for future repairs:

• Don't Discard Solids Down the Drain - Likewise for oils and greases. These are common sources of clogs, friction, and other damage to your whole home's plumbing system, and they are particularly rough on your sewer system, since all the things you send down the drain eventually goes through it. Put solids in the trash or compost.
• Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners - There's a range of problems with chemical cleaners. Some are effective, but damaging to your pipes as they clean. Others just worsen the clog. If you think one of your pipes is blocked, one safe technique is to pour warm salt water down the drain, and if that fails to fix it, call a reputable Pacific, MO plumber to clean out the blockage.
• Manage Tree Roots - Any time you're planting or moving a tree on your property, check where the sewer lines run before deciding on its new location. You can also install root barriers on the outside of your pipes to protect them from tree roots.
• Get A Backflow Preventer - If you've ever had issues with basement flooding, particularly from a sewer line, your home might need a backflow preventer. This stops water from reversing direction and bringing sewage back into your home's plumbing system. Many homes already naturally prevent this, but older systems, those with pools, or those using well water all benefit greatly from backflow preventers.
• Repair Other Issues Promptly - A simple clog in your pipes isn't the end of the world, but it's not something you should delay. Increased pressure, friction, and corrosion are all contributors to larger problems, which you can help prevent by taking care of clogs without delay.
• Regular Maintenance/Inspections - Most houses benefit from having their pipes inspected every one to two years, or more often for older plumbing systems. A quick inspection helps you get ahead of issues before they happen, protecting your home and wallet in the long run.
