Signs You Need Sewer Line Replacement

A sewer line issue may not always be immediately obvious. However, there are key warning signs that indicate you may need a replacement:

  • Slow Draining Fixtures: If your sinks, bathtubs, or toilets are draining slowly despite attempts to clear them, this could signal a sewer line blockage or deterioration.
  • Frequent Clogs and Backups: Recurring sewer clogs, even after professional drain cleaning, may indicate a broken or collapsed sewer line.
  • Unpleasant Odors: A strong sewage smell inside or outside your home can mean your sewer line is cracked or leaking.
  • Lush Patches of Grass:  A sewer leak underground can provide extra nutrients to your lawn, causing patches of grass to appear greener and healthier than the surrounding area.
  • Foundation Cracks and Sinkholes: A broken sewer line can cause soil erosion beneath your home, leading to foundation issues and potential sinkholes in your yard.
  • Gurgling Noises from Drains: If you hear bubbling or gurgling sounds from your drains, it may be due to sewer line blockages or air trapped in the pipes.

Our Sewer Line Replacement Process

At Safe Seal, we take a professional and thorough approach to “sewer line replacement”, ensuring minimal disruption to your home and property.

1. Inspection and Diagnosis
We use advanced technology such as video camera inspections to assess the condition of your existing sewer line. This allows us to pinpoint cracks, tree root intrusion, or blockages that require replacement.

2. Excavation or Trenchless Replacement
Depending on the condition of your sewer line and property layout, we offer both traditional and trenchless sewer line replacement methods:

      • Traditional Sewer Line Replacement: We carefully excavate the area to remove the old sewer pipe and install a new, high-quality pipe designed for longevity.
      • Trenchless Sewer Replacement: In certain cases, we use non-invasive methods such as pipe bursting or pipe lining to replace the sewer line without extensive digging.

3. New Sewer Line Installation
Once the old pipe is removed or lined, we install a durable  PVC or HDPE pipe that resists corrosion, tree root intrusion, and ground shifts. This ensures a long-lasting and efficient sewer system.

4. Backfilling and Property Restoration
After installation, we carefully backfill the area and restore your yard, driveway, or landscaping to its original condition as much as possible.

5. Final Inspection and Testing
We conduct a  comprehensive inspection and flow test to ensure your new sewer line is functioning properly and free from leaks or blockages.
