Most Common Reasons for Sewer Line Issues

Sewer line repairs can be a very stressful situation. Generally, there is not a visible cause for clogged sewer lines. Here are the most common reasons for problems with your sewer line:

• •      – Tree Roots: Tree roots are a frequent cause of sewer line leaks or breaks. They can infiltrate pipes, leading to clogs by blocking the flow of debris or causing the pipes to crack and rupture, resulting in sewage spills. Whether the issue is a blockage or physical damage to the pipes, it constitutes a plumbing emergency that needs to be addressed promptly.
  •      – Homeowner or Landscaper Damage: This issue is more common than many people realize. During home remodeling or landscaping projects, sewer lines are unintentionally damaged and require prompt plumbing repairs.
  •      – Aging Sewer Lines: Old sewer lines may be too old and worn-out to repair and will need to be replaced instead. As pipes age, they begin to weaken and crack under pressure over time.
  •      – Extreme Texas Weather: Issues like high winds, heavy rain, and tropical weather can cause the ground around your sewer pipes to shift and lead to broken lines. These breaks in your sewer line need to be addressed immediately to avoid potentially hazardous conditions.
