Sewer Repair

As a homeowner, one of the most dreaded events that can happen in a home is a sewer backup. It’s smelly, messy, can cause extensive damage to your home and can even affect your health. That’s why sewer line issues should not be ignored! They need to be handled right away to keep a bad situation from becoming worse. Our expert plumbers have handled numerous sewer issues. When you need sewer repair, you can trust us to handle the job quickly and efficiently.

There are many causes for sewer backups, including clogs, tree roots in the sewer lines, corroded lines, cracked lines and even extreme weather. When sewer lines are not working properly, our team can troubleshoot the issue and get the lines fixed to keep the waste flowing away from your house.

The best way to avoid a sewer backup is to prevent it. In the bathroom that means only flushing human waste and toilet paper. No other objects should go down the toilet, including sanitary products, paper towels or even wipes that claim they are flushable. In the kitchen, you should avoid pouring grease down the drain. Cooking oil and grease can harden inside pipes, eventually creating a clog. Grease and oils should be poured into a container and thrown in the trash.

Sometimes, sewer issues are unavoidable. Lines may be aging or damaged and you don’t know it. Whatever the cause of a sewer backup, we can fix the issue. We are available 24/7 to get your sewer issue solved!

Signs that you Need Sewer Repair

Sewer repair is not something to put off. As soon as you notice an issue, you will want a plumber to investigate. In many instances you can avoid costly damage by getting the problem fixed before it gets to the point of sewage coming back into your house, causing damage and compromising your health.

Here are some warning signs that you need to call a sewer repair expert:

Flooded or foul-smelling yard
Gurgling toilet
Multiple slow drains
Water damage in the home

If sewage does get into your home, you will first want to have the sewer lines repaired. Once that issue is fixed, you’ll need to thoroughly clean the area to eliminate disease-causing viruses and bacteria. A certified restoration company can provide sewage remediation to ensure your home or building is safe.

Common Questions on
Sewer Repair

What causes a sewer backup?

There can be many causes of a sewer backup including a clog in drain lines, damaged sewer lines, corroded pipes and tree roots in lines. Heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt can even cause a backup if the public sewer system is not able to handle all the excess water.

What should you do when a backup occurs?

There are many things you should do if a sewer backup affects your home. First, you want to evacuate the flooded area, since sewage contains hazardous contaminants. If possible, you should also open windows or doors to let in fresh air. Electrical power should be turned off to the flooded area, and the main water line valve should be shut off. If you are connected to a public sewer, notify your municipal authority or sewer department. You should avoid using the water supply system in your home until the backup problem is fixed. Call a professional restoration company to thoroughly clean and disinfect the area, and call a plumber like All Ways Drains to repair the sewer line.

How long will a sewer line last?

The life of sewer lines depends on the pipe’s material. Cast iron pipes last between 75-100 years, clay and cement pipes can last up to 100 years, Orangeburg pipes last around 50 years, and PVC pipes can last more than 100 years.

The company is professional and truly offers 24/7 service. We called for an emergency water leak on a Saturday evening and were contacted within an hour to schedule an appointment for the following morning, which was a Sunday. John arrived promptly on time, calling ahead with ETA. He was able to evaluate and fix the cause of the leak. He was friendly and professional, being careful to take off shoes at the door. We had a great experience and would highly recommend. We would definitely use them again in the future.

The crews were terrific! Joe came first and was unable to clear the clogs with the large auger. He explained the problem very understandably. Dominick and Austin then came with the water jet and cleared the blockages – several mats of thin roots grown closely together. The whole process was video recorded inside the pipe before, during and after. Could not have been more pleased with the crews and the work done.

Bob H.

Very satisfied with All Ways Drains. Had them out to clear the tree roots and clean out the long sewer line, kitchen pipe, and tub drain of my older home. Quick, thorough, and didn’t break the bank. I highly recommend and will schedule with All Ways Drains again!
