Common Sewer Line Problems
Sewer line problems can range in severity, potentially causing significant issues at home. Clogs are one of the most frequent issues caused by waste buildup or foreign objects lodged in the pipe. Meanwhile, leaks are another concern, often resulting from cracks or shifts in the pipework triggered by pressure or external damage.
Old pipes are vulnerable to corrosion and degradation over time, further complicating sewer line functionality and increasing the risks associated with different types of pipes. The problems can escalate if left unchecked, leading to recurring blockages or severe damage in the main sewer line. At Mike’s Plumbing, we identify and rectify these issues using advanced techniques for both inspection and repairs, saving you time, money, and the headache of frequent disruptions.
Frequent Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Understanding the root cause of sewer line issues is crucial for an effective replacement process. Tree roots are notorious for infiltrating sewer pipes, causing cracks and blockages that can result in extensive damage. Their growth disrupts the flow, potentially breaking your existing pipe.
Another frequent cause is corrosion, especially in older lines made from metal. Over time, pipes weaken and develop leaks, leaving the system vulnerable to failure. External forces, such as ground movement or temperature shifts, also pose a risk to sewer lines. If you suspect a broken sewer line, our team of experienced professionals is here to assess the condition and provide efficient solutions tailored to the exact cause, potentially even replacing the entire line if necessary.
Signs That Indicate You Need Sewer Line Replacement
Sewer lines are buried underground and out of sight, so it’s not always easy to tell when something’s wrong. However, some signs can indicate your sewer line is cracked, collapsed, or severely clogged. Here’s what to look out for:
- Frequent drain clogs in multiple fixtures
- Backed-up sewage in toilets or tubs
- Foul smells coming from your drains or yard
- Mold or mildew growth on walls
- Soggy patches or sinkholes in your lawn
- Unusually lush grass above the sewer line
- Slow draining sinks and showers
- Increased pest activity (rats, cockroaches)
If you're experiencing any of these problems, don’t delay. A compromised sewer line can lead to severe property damage, health risks, and expensive emergency repairs. Call Mike’s Plumbing and Rooter Service today for a professional inspection.

Traditional vs. Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Methods
Choosing between traditional methods and trenchless sewer line replacement often depends on the severity of damage and the homeowner's preferences. Traditional methods involve extensive excavation, requiring large trenches to remove old piping and install new ones. While efficient, this method can cause significant disruption to landscaping.
On the other hand, trenchless sewer repair methods, such as pipe bursting and relining, are less invasive. They rely on advanced tools to fix or replace your sewer line with minimal digging, saving time and reducing restoration costs.
