If you’ve got a damaged sewer line, you might be asking, “What caused this? It’s underground, right?” Well, you are right about it being underground, but lots of things can cause damage to sewer lines. The most common one we see is trees’ roots growing into and around sewer lines. As roots spread underground, they can damage sewer lines. This, of course, happens slowly over time. Damage can also occur from repaving a nearby road or drive, or pipes can become corroded over time. No matter what the cause, the pros at Five Star Plumbing can get you fixed up.
So if your sewer line is damaged, will you need sewer line repair? Or replacement? When small holes or cracks are present in the sewer line, usually a repair is what is warranted. For more extensive pipe corrosion or more severe damage, sewer line replacement may be necessary. But with everything underground, how can our techs tell which is necessary? We use a pipe leak test to determine if you have damage and where that damage might be. If we determine there is a leak or damage, we can do a trenchless repair in some cases, but replacements do require us to dig the sewer line up. Either way, sewer line damage isn’t a problem that can be ignored. So before things get out of hand, call Five Star Plumbing in Greater San Antonio, TX, and let us take a look at your sewer line.
