If you suspect that you need a sewer repair, a major drain or system problem in your sewer system is the first clue. Check if the problem is due to one or all fixtures.
Your toilet is often the first sign of trouble when you are slowly or not completely flushing.
If you have cleared a clogged toilet and all other procedures are also slow, then it’s time for a plumber
Your plumber may be able to visually inspect your in house piping and use a fiber optic camera to inspect for blockage or breakage.
Older clay sewers are susceptible to decomposition compared to the newer materials which have a longer lifespan.
This means that if your house was built before the 1980s, you are likely to have clay pipes that require repairs.
Common problems that can lead to sewer repairs are:
- tree roots
- grease
- other debris
It may also be that your clay sewage pipe reaches its lifetime and simply collapses.
If your sewer line is broken, it is likely to be obvious. You will most likely smell sewage and develop sinkholes or wet areas.
This usually indicates a break in the sewer that needs to be replaced.
Even if you can perform a patch job on the broken pipe, you are likely to look for future breaks and ultimately, a replacement of the sewage system.
If your installer recommends sewer repair, your final cost may vary.
For example:
- Trees may need to be cut and removed to gain access to the sewer
- Gas lines are placed over your sewer rather than next to it
- The city sewage connection does not lead to your property boundary
This can drive the cost up as much as $5,000.
Your plumber should be able to give you an estimate after been given the opportunity to inspect your pipelines
