Keeping your sewer line in tip-top shape is absolutely essential in ensuring that your home’s plumbing functions normally. Fortunately, you can contact a plumber in Birmingham, MI, from Carter’s Plumbing to conduct the necessary repairs.
Here are certain sewer issues that are common but avoidable:
Corrosion
If you live in an older home, the pipes in your sewer line are probably made from older materials. As a result, you may begin to have problems with corrosion. When the pipes corrode, you may hear gurgling sounds, smell foul odors and notice water draining too slowly. A sewer dig by our professionals and replacing the pipes with those made of newer materials can help you address the issue.
Clogs
They can be caused by too much debris cluttering up your sink, shower, tub, toilet, or even tree roots infiltrating your sewer line. Bad clogs require extensive sewer repair services in Birmingham, MI. You can do your part by making sure you never flush anything but waste and toilet paper and use drain screens in your sinks, showers, and bathtub.
Leaks
Usually, they occur around the joint of a pipe. You can usually notice signs of a problem by spotting water in a specific area, such as in your yard. If your sewer line is leaking, a professional can begin excavating to get to the root of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
Other Pipe Issues
A pipe may break, crack, collapse or even end up misaligned within your sewer line if the soil shifts or the ground has frozen. When this happens, it can lead to a malfunction of the sewer line and require excavation by professionals.
Tree Roots
Unfortunately, tree roots can grow and expand to the point where they infiltrate your sewer line when in search of water and fertilizer. Avoid planting vegetation too close to the site of your sewer line. Excavation services are necessary to make repairs when roots damage the line.
