The sewer line to the municipal waste system is the largest drain on your property. It’s vulnerable to different issues than your tub or toilet drains. Aging sewer lines may have the following challenges:

• Tree roots: Roots break through the sewer pipes and cause damage and leaks.
• Damaged pipes: Collapsed, misaligned, and broken pipes occur on shifting soil.
• Blockage: When soap, hair, grease and oil clump together, they restrict the flow of water down waste pipes. This can cause blockages that disrupt your sewer system.
• Pipe deterioration: Metal pipes subject to corrosion can deteriorate over time, causing cracks and leaks to develop.
• Bellied pipe: When a section of the pipe bows, water or waste can pool around it.
• Leaking joints: Seals connecting pipes can break, allowing waste and water to filter out into your yard.

Sewer Line Problem Prevention

Remain alert for signs that there’s an issue with your sewer line. By remaining alert for damage, you can prevent bigger problems from developing. For example, if you own a septic system, call bluefrog Plumbing

Drain to perform an inspection every three to five years. We’ll detect and fix problems before you need expensive repairs. One of the most important things you can do is to monitor your septic tank to avoid overflow issues.

If your sewer line empties into the city waste system, simply cleaning out the line to the municipal system may solve the problem. We’ll let you know if a broken pipe has to be repaired by conducting a camera inspection to uncover the cause of your leak or blockage.

When It’s Time to Replace Pipes in Your Sewer Line

If you don’t have PVC pipes, it may be more cost-effective to replace the pipes in your sewer line. Metal pipes are subject to corrosion and it’s likely that you will have to replace them at some point anyway. To avoid further root intrusion, leaks and deterioration, invest in replacing your pipes with durable PVC.

Main Water Line Problems

Your water line delivers clean water used to bathe, cook and clean with. To protect your home’s water supply, partner with call bluefrog Plumbing + Drain day or night.

Wonder how to tell if your main water line requires professional intervention? Here are the main signs that tell us when it’s time to repair or replace the main water line in your business or home:

• Rusty water: If you have a broken water main, dirt and impurities can infiltrate your clean water supply. This may give your water a brownish tint. Corrosion in the pipes lends your tap water a rusty hue. Don’t drink foul-smelling water — call bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of West Houston.
• High water bill: If you notice that your water bill spikes sharply, it probably indicates that you have a leak in your water line. Let our professionals find and fix the leak so that your utility bills return to normal.
• Puddles in your yard: Heavy rains can cause water to pool in your yard, but it typically drains quickly. However, standing puddles may indicate a water line leak.
• Damp spots on the ceiling, wall and floors can indicate leaks in pipes behind the walls. Water seeping from the basement can indicate water line or sewer line leaks depending on how your system is set up. Turn off the water and call us to troubleshoot the issues as soon as possible.
• Low water pressure: Low pressure at one faucet probably indicates an issue with your fixtures. If you have low water pressure at multiple faucets, it could indicate an issue with your main water line.
• Sinkholes: A water leak in the main line that runs under the sidewalk or driveway
• Potholes or sinkholes: A water leak in the main line running beneath your driveway or sidewalk can shift the pavement and lead to sinkholes or potholes.
• Running water: A major leak may be loud enough for you to hear. This indicates a significant, dangerous leak. Turn off the water at the main source and call us to make repairs immediately.
