Sewer Line Replacement Costa Mesa, Ca

The Job Of Your Sewer Line

When you flush a toilet or run water down a sink drain, you know that it ends up in the city sewer main. But without your house sewer line, that waste would never leave your home. It is the job of your house sewer line to connect all of your drains and toilets to the city sewer line for waste disposal.

This important pipe is buried under your property. It can pass below your driveway or other paved surfaces as well as any grass in your yard. So it is not impossible for the pipe to be damaged by any digging that is done on the property or even settling of the soil.

Sewer Line Issues

All sewer line issues fall into one of two categories. The first type of problem is related to any physical damage to the sewer pipe itself. This can be caused by an errant shovel strike, a rock compressed into the pipe, or even tree roots that grow around and crush the pipe. When this type of damage happens, the result is often a swamp of dirty water and sewage in your yard. If left unrepaired, it is not uncommon for soil to clog the broken pipe and cause the sewage to back-up into your home.

The other frequent nemesis of sewer lines is a clog. On rare occasions, the clog is due to residue build-up and debris that was carried through the pipe. But in most cases, a clog is the result of a small crack in the sewer pipe. Once the pipe is cracked, it begins to leak nutrient-rich dirty water into the surrounding soil. This water and “natural” fertilizer attracts tree roots and dramatically increases their growth rate. Tiny roots find their way inside the pipe, only to grow very quickly in this optimal environment. Finally, the tree roots completely block the inside of the pipe and cause a sewage back-up in your home.

Both of these common issues hold the potential to create a very costly mess. When you notice that your toilets are not flushing correctly and your drains are clearing more slowly, a call 949-647-4785 could save you thousands of dollars in water damage repair and decontamination services.

When Is It Time For A Replacement Sewer Line?

Sewer lines wear out just like every other part of your home. But when this pipe is no longer functional, life as you know it is significantly altered. No flushing toilets or running water down the drain in your home until a new sewer line is in place is a significant inconvenience. However, there are a few signs that you will notice before your sewer line is completely useless.

Frequent sewage back-ups and leaks in your sewer line are a good indication that the pipe is compromised, and your small issues will soon morph into a huge problem. Your Tweedy Plumbing pro will be able to tell you when a replacement is a better investment than another repair. Or if you hear odd noises coming from your sewer line, you should make the call to 949-647-4785. These sounds are often the result of water and solid waste washing past blockages in your sewer line. Finally, if you notice a moist area in your yard that also emanates a foul smell, it’s time to think about a new sewer line.
