Rockford Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Installation
Rockford, known for its close-knit community, is deemed one of the safest communities in Michigan, and if you like getting an average of 66 inches of snow per year, it’s one of the state’s nicest places to live, as well. But when all that snow freezes the ground and then melts into it, it can do damage to the sewer lines, over time. If you think you might have trouble with your sewer lines, your property might be due for an inspection to determine if you need sewer line repair, replacement, or installation of new sewer line components.
Signs of Sewer Line Damage
Signs of sewer line damage are typically hard to ignore and rarely go unnoticed. Typical red flags that you have sewer line issues are listed below.
- Slow drainage in your home’s sinks and showers
- Gurgling sounds coming from your toilets, sinks, and other drains inside your home
- Sewage backups
- Foul-smelling or sulfuric odors coming from your drains or emanating throughout your home
- Visible leaks seeping up in your yard
Homeowners who fail to address such indications of sewer line problems will eventually have to face a more dire situation when the system ultimately fails and has to be completely replaced. The result of this is often weeks of repair and installation work that can occur inside or outside of your home and result in the upheaval of certain areas of your yard and around your property.
Why Sewer Line Maintenance Is Important
Sewer lines carry water waste and other waste outside of your home. Consequently, these lines can get clogged or become damaged by the elements such as freezing temperatures and heavy precipitation. It is important to maintain the proper function of these lines to prevent inconvenient and even, sometimes, hazardous situations from arising out of the sewer lines on your property.
For instance, it can be dangerous to the health of your family or the inhabitants of your home if there is a raw sewage leak in the pipeline beneath your home. Raw sewage is a breeding ground for bacteria, illnesses, and other viruses and pathogens that can make you and your family sick, causing respiratory and gastrointestinal problems and other serious infections.
Sewer Line Maintenance
If there’s a known issue in your sewer lines, in order to prevent further and worse damage to your property and home, as well as hazardous health conditions, it is important to have routine maintenance performed on your sewer lines by a licensed and professional plumber. If you don’t address these issues in a timely fashion, the consequences can be much more costly and potentially dangerous to your family and damaging to your home including the foundation of your home.
Furthermore, sewer lines should be checked regularly to inspect for blockages, such as tree roots, and cleared of any blockages that are found. Not only will this prevent future repair and hazardous conditions, but it will also optimize the flow and function of your home’s sewer line system. A reputable and professional plumbing company can inspect pipelines using advanced technology that enables a telescopic look inside your pipes.
Sewer Line Replacement
When there is damage found within the sewer pipes, in many cases, a replacement of a portion of the pipeline is necessary. Oftentimes, old sewer pipelines are not up to code and are in danger of falling into disrepair. These pipes need replacing and can be done so easily by removing damaged or old pipelines and replacing them with new pipelines that are up to industry standards and code regulations.
