Sewer Line Repair and Replacement Newport Beach, CA

The Job Of A Sewer Line

Your sewer line provides an essential service every day, carrying all your waste water to the City of Newport Beach sewer main.  That includes the drains from the sinks, tubs, showers, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as the toilets.  Without a functioning sewer line, the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room are all out of order.  If you continue running water down any of those drains while there is a blockage in your sewer pipe, you could experience an overflow into your lowest fixture.  

Common Sewer Line Issues

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Newport Beach, CA is fairly common.  The two most common causes for sewer line problems are root intrusions and corrosion.  Both of these will result in an unpleasant situation when the contents of the pipe is dirty water and human waste. And knowing how these issues occur and how to prevent them can help you avoid a nasty sewage backup in your home.

Clogs can also form inside a sewer line because of items that are flushed or washed down a drain.  Some of the most common “operator error” clogs that our plumbers come across are wet wipes and feminine hygiene products.  Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate in water very quickly, however, other paper products like paper towels, napkins, moist wipes, and feminine hygiene products are designed to be far more durable.  These items take much longer to breakdown and can get caught on rough old cast iron pipe or root intrusions, or even hard turns, and eventually cause a blockage.  

If you notice your toilet gurgling when it’s flushed or water backing up in a shower when another fixture is being used, that might be an indicator that your sewer line is starting to backup.  As soon as you notice or suspect any issues with your sewer line, give Tweedy Plumbing a call.  We are here to solve your sewer pipe problems, big or small.

The Sewer Line Inspection Process

Technology has come a long way in the last few decades and those advances have made it possible for our pros to show you real-time images of the inside of your sewer line.  A fiber optic cable camera is inserted into the pipe to reveal the type and condition of the material, including cracks, root intrusions, offset fittings, buildup, or other damage to the sewer pipe.  Once our plumber can see inside the pipe, we can determine if your sewer pipe needs to be repaired, replaced, lined, or simply cleaned.
