The majority of sewer lines are maintained by municipal authorities as they work their way down to the water processing plant. However, once a line goes underneath your property, you as the owner are required to handle any problems involving that particular area of the sewer line. This is where having the right plumber comes in handy. A qualified plumber can perform effective, long-term repairs on damaged sewer lines, giving you greater peace of mind.
Our plumbing technicians conveniently serve Guelph and surrounding areas in Ontario.
Is Your Sewer Line Clogged or Cracked?
The most common problem affecting sewer lines is blockage, or clogging. Items such as grease, hair, soap particles, and other debris can build up in your pipes over time if they aren't cleared out on a regular basis. Even excessive amounts of toilet paper flushed down can contribute to clogs.
The kind of piping material you have installed can also affect the normal flow of your sewer line. Lesser materials, such as plastic, can break down and crack over time. Poor metal materials will corrode and flake off to join with the growing debris already blocking your line. We recommend PVC pipes when replacing your damaged lines. These are more durable than other metal materials and will ensure long term benefits.
How we repair your sewer line depends on the extent of damage. For small-scale problems, a drain snake may be enough to unclog your line. More extensive damage will require repairs along certain sections of your line, or even complete repiping, particularly if the pipes are corroded or showing other signs of deterioration.
