Sewer Line Replacement

Plumbing Columbia, HVAC Columbia, AC Repair and Maintenance Columbia, Heating & Cooling Services Columbia

Imagine you’re enjoying a peaceful evening at your home when suddenly, you notice an unpleasant odor wafting through the air. As you investigate, you discover that your yard is soggy, and wastewater is pooling around your property. A situation like this means you’ll need to have your sewer line replaced. 

Solving the Burden of a Failing Sewer

Owning a home brings joy, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. One of the most distressing issues homeowners can face is a failing sewer system. Over time, sewer lines can deteriorate due to age, tree root intrusion, or damage caused by external factors. This can result in a host of problems, including:

Foul Odors: An unmistakable stench that permeates your property, making outdoor activities unbearable.
Slow Drains: Water backing up in sinks, showers, and toilets, causing inconvenience and frustration.
Soggy Yard: Wastewater pooling on your lawn, creating a muddy mess and compromising your landscaping.

Ignoring these signs can lead to further damage, potential health hazards, and skyrocketing repair costs. This is where sewer replacement services become essential.

FAQs on Sewer Replacement

What are the signs of a broken sewer pipe?

A broken sewer pipe can lead to various noticeable signs and issues in and around your home. Here are common signs to watch for:

– Foul Odors: Persistent, unpleasant odors, particularly in your yard or near drains, can be a sign of a sewer pipe break.

– Slow Drains: Multiple slow or clogged drains throughout your home, even after attempts to clear them, may indicate a sewer line issue.

– Sewage Backup: Sewage backup in toilets, sinks, or drains, especially in lower-level fixtures, is a clear sign of a sewer pipe problem.

– Puddles or Sinkholes: Unexplained puddles or sinkholes in your yard could be caused by leaking sewage from a broken pipe.

Mold or Mildew Growth: Excessive mold or mildew in your basement or other damp areas can result from moisture seeping out of a damaged sewer line.

Foundation Cracks: Sewer line leaks can erode soil around your home’s foundation, potentially leading to structural issues and cracks.

Gurgling Sounds: Strange gurgling noises from drains or toilets when not in use may indicate air escaping through a cracked sewer pipe.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to address them promptly to prevent further damage and health hazards. Contact a licensed plumber to inspect and diagnose the issue, as sewer pipe repairs or replacement may be necessary.

What dissolves tree roots in sewer lines?

Tree roots infiltrating sewer lines can be a common problem, leading to blockages and potential damage. To dissolve tree roots in sewer lines, there are two primary methods:

– Chemical Root Killers: Copper sulfate or similar root-killing chemicals can be poured down the toilet or drain. These chemicals work by inhibiting root growth and eventually causing the roots to die off. However, they may take some time to be effective and are not always a permanent solution.

Hydro Jetting: Hydro jetting is a more effective and lasting method. It involves using high-pressure water to not only clear the roots but also thoroughly clean the inside of the pipes. This method can be performed by a professional plumbing service and is often a preferred choice for severe root intrusions.

It’s essential to consult with a licensed plumber to assess the extent of the root intrusion and determine the most appropriate solution. Additionally, regular maintenance and preventive measures, such as installing root barriers, can help prevent future root problems in sewer lines.

What is the best pipe for a sewer line?

The choice of the best pipe material for a sewer line depends on several factors, including budget, soil conditions, and local building codes. Here are some common options:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC pipes are a popular choice due to their affordability, durability, and resistance to corrosion and root intrusion. They are lightweight and easy to install, making them a practical choice for many sewer line applications.

– Cast Iron: Cast iron pipes have a long history of use in sewer systems. They are highly durable and can withstand heavy loads and exposure to external elements. However, they are relatively heavy and may require professional installation.

– Clay: Clay pipes are known for their resistance to corrosion and longevity. They are eco-friendly and can last for several decades. However, they are fragile and may be more susceptible to root intrusion.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): HDPE pipes are lightweight, flexible, and resistant to corrosion and root intrusion. They are often used in trenchless sewer installations due to their ease of handling and durability.

The best pipe material will vary based on your specific needs and circumstances. It’s crucial to consult with a professional plumber who can assess your situation and recommend the most suitable pipe material to ensure a reliable and long-lasting sewer line. Local building codes and regulations should also be considered when making your choice.

I have found a new A/C Service Company.I called the service I used to use at 4:30 AM on a Sunday, with no call back from them, I opened an Emergency HVAC with Master Tech at 7:14 AM, had a callback from the tech in 5 minutes, and was onsite within a couple of hours. The problem was a tripped breaker, Tyler was professional, made some suggestions about possible causes.

Great Service on the phone and with our Tech. Anytime we have a problem with our home water or hvac they are always super nice and helpful to fit us in or get us scheduled. Repairs are quick and not horribly costly. Macenzie even takes the time to explain what to watch for or what the next step should be for any future home maintenance so we can keep everything running as it should.

Chad was our tech today, and he came first thing this morning to address our leaking toilet.

Gary was awesome. It turns out I didn't have a plumbing problem, but a dead rodent problem. Thanks MasterTechGary and Makenzie were great. They let me know precisely when they would arrive. They gave me an estimate on how long it would take and exactly what they would be doing. I had a clogged sewer line full of tree roots and all is clear now. No more backups. Thank you MasterTech for another great job well done.Success!!! I had a clogged bathroom sink that was barely draining and needed to be cleaned out. My service tech Gary was very friendly and efficient. Now I can wash my hands without the sink backing up. It was a pleasure doing business with him and MasterTech.Once again Master Tech to the rescue. I had a leak in the basement and it wasn't a broken pipe, just a clogged line which he cleaned out. It was gross 😝. Great work MT.

I had an emergency plumbing situation. When I called no one was available to come out immediately. I did get the water turned off and the flooding was stopped. Long story short as soon as someone was available within an hour, I received a call from the Tech that he would arrive within 20 minutes. The Tech that came was courteous and professional. The Parts needed were on hand and My problem was taken care of quickly and efficiently. Thank you.

Tyler performed an annual servicing of our AC unit. He addressed our concern that our unit was getting some age on it and installed a kit to help with hard starts to extend it's service life.Matt made an unscheduled trip the following day when an unexpected problem cropped up.We have an older house and opted for Master Techs monthly service plan. We have used the benefits several times now and we always get the best service. Their front office is very well organized, and they have good software. As soon as I call they already know everything about our service, right down to knowing I go by my middle name. We appreciate that level of personal connection.Thank you to the folks at Master Tech!

MasterTech is my go-to company for the plumbing needs at all of my properties. They are always prompt and extremely respectful, to both me at my home and to my tenants, and they often have availability for same-day service. I also love the convenience provided by their app. I’ve ordered, approved, and paid for expert service from several states away.Most recently, when I needed a water heater replacement at my house, MasterTech sent Logan to assess the situation on the same day that I called for help. He quickly assessed the problem, communicated with me via phone, and set up a replacement first thing the next morning.The tech the next morning was Andy Hoover. Andy showed up right on time. He took the time to explain what he was going to do and then educated me on the operation and future maintenance of my new water heater. During the process he cleaned where the old water heater had been located and left our utility room cleaner than he found it. (I cannot say the same for other companies I’ve used in the past). Andy even made friends with my lunatic Australian Cattle Dog mutt, which was nothing short of a miracle.Fast service, good customer service, reliability, and convenience are all very important to me. MasterTech has always provided all four.
