The repair or replacement of an entire sewer line or even just a section is sometimes required when drain clearing efforts don’t work. These are the primary indicators that a repair or the replacement procedure is required:
• Broken, cracked or collapsed pipe due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, among other possible causes
• Severe grease buildup or a foreign object restricting flow
• Corrosion of an older pipe that caused the pipe to break or collapse
• A “bellied” pipe where a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a spot in the line where paper and waste collect and cause repeated blockages• Leaking joints where the seals between sections of pipe have broken, allowing water and sewage to escape
• An excessive amount of roots in the line that cannot be cleared using a cable machine
