Sewer Line Repair Services

Sewer lines age and decay, just like anything else, causing them to crack and collapse. Other factors include being crushed, getting cracked by tree roots, or perhaps getting blocked and damaged.

Different types of pipes have different weaknesses, but if you notice standing water in your driveway or yard, then it’s time to investigate the issue you might soon be dealing with. Even though this water might not look or smell like sewer water, it’s unhealthy to have hanging around.

Clogged Sewer Line Cleaning

It’s a best practice to maintain your sewer lines with regular cleaning; we handle this for many of our clients who like to avoid big issues or interruptions. However, even if it’s been a while, we have the tools to get yours cleaned safely and completely.

If there’s a clog, we’re able handle it with the tools that we always have with us – no matter what the tool needed, we’ve got it and are able to take care of your clog right away.

However, if you’re handy and you’ve invested in the right tool, here’s a quick guide to fixing the problem yourself:
1. Find the drain pipe and loosen the cap
2. Once the cap is open, the buildup will drain out
3. Feed the cable of your auger into the pipe and run it until the clog is clear
4. Hose down the pipe and make sure it is running clear, repeat step three if necessary
5. When pulling your auger out of the pipe, be sure to go slowly to avoid damaging it

How To Tell Your Sewer Line Is Clogged

If you’re experiencing symptoms of a sewer clog, this is where you’ll find an answer to your online research. For everyone else: if any of these sound familiar, then we encourage you to call us now for an assessment, because you may be needing us.

When you flush the toilet, do you have water bubbling up from either your tub or shower? Or perhaps when you run your bathroom sink, does your toilet gurgle? These are both signs of a clogged sewer.

Another telltale sign is that you experience several of your fixtures getting clogged all at once. Alternately, if you’ve already cleaned your drains a couple of times but they’re still running slowly, that can also indicate a clogged sewer.

Whatever the reason though, Peoria Plumbing Pros can help. Call us today and we’ll get you back to normal.

Leaking Sewer Line Repair Services

Sewer lines often start leaking because the soil has shifted or settled, putting pressure on the lines. Alternately, the freezing process can cause water to expand and crack your sewer lines.

These also need to be taken care of quickly, as leaking sewage can become a problem, no matter where it’s happening.

Some signs you’ve got a break or crack in your pipes include:
1. You see more bugs than usual – that’s because they’re crawling up through your drain and into your home.
2. Sewer odor – if you can smell it, it’s because it’s not being contained properly.
3. Cracks in your walls – if the soil beneath your home is damp due to leaky pipes, it could be causing your home to settle and the walls to crack in the shifting process.
4. Patches of green in your lawn – if human waste is escaping through a cracked sewer, it could be inadvertently fertilizing your lawn.
5. Indentations in your lawn – another red lawn flag is if you have depressions in your yard. This could indicate settling of the soil beneath due to saturation.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repairs

Trenchless sewer line repair is a huge benefit to our clients, because it means that we don’t dig up a huge trench through their parking lot or front yard in order to repair their problems.

Sewer line issues include crushed pipes, misaligned or cracked pipes, and root intrusion.

Cutting edge techniques mean that we drill only a few holes in order to access the part of the pipe that needs repair, leaving only a minor inconvenience and taking much less time.
