What You Need to Know About Sewer Line Problems

When your sewer line fails, it's not just an inconvenience. It's a problem that needs attention right away. Here's what happens, why it happens, and what we do to fix it.

Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Repair

Multiple slow drains throughout your home often point to a main sewer line issue rather than a single drain problem. You might notice sewage backing up into your shower or tub, or smell foul odors coming from drains and yard areas. If your toilets gurgle when other fixtures run, that's another red flag. Some homeowners see soggy patches in the yard or experience frequent backups despite trying to clear drains. These symptoms all suggest the main sewer line is damaged, cracked, or blocked.

Call Us Right Away If You Notice

Raw sewage backing into your home is a health hazard and needs immediate attention. Don't wait and hope it clears on its own. The longer you delay, the more damage occurs to your foundation, landscaping, and soil. We respond quickly to sewer emergencies because we know how stressful and gross this situation feels. Our team comes prepared to diagnose the problem and get it fixed fast.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

Your sewer line can fail for several reasons. Understanding what causes damage helps explain why repair might be necessary.

Age and Corrosion

Sewer lines don't last forever. Older clay, cast iron, or concrete pipes deteriorate over time. In Denver, pipes installed decades ago often reach the end of their lifespan. Corrosion eats away at the pipe material, creating cracks and weak spots where roots invade or sections collapse.

Tree and Shrub Roots

Roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients in sewer lines. They work their way into small cracks and gradually enlarge the opening, eventually blocking flow or breaking the pipe. Properties with mature trees nearby face higher risk. Even roots from trees on neighboring properties can cause problems.

Soil Shifting and Settling

Ground movement from soil settling, drought, or heavy loads above the line can break pipes or cause misalignment. In Denver's varying soil conditions, this is a real concern. If portions of your yard have sunk or shifted, the sewer line beneath may have shifted too.

Clogs from Debris and Buildup

Grease, paper, hair, and other debris accumulate in the sewer line over time. Heavy buildups act like a dam, backing sewage into your home. This isn't just inconvenient. It puts pressure on the pipe and can accelerate damage from cracks or weak spots.

Manufacturing Defects

Some pipes, especially older PVC sections, have defects that cause premature failure. Improper installation during construction can also create problems that surface years later. If you've had recurring issues in the same area, a manufacturing or installation defect might be to blame.

Freezing and Thawing

Denver's cold winters mean pipes freeze. Ice expands inside sewer lines and cracks them. Once cracked, soil gets in and causes blockages. Winter and early spring often bring sewer backup complaints for this reason.

How We Diagnose and Repair Denver Sewer Line Problems

Our process starts with accurate diagnosis, then moves to the right repair solution for your situation.

Video Camera Inspection

We use a high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable to inspect your entire sewer line. This shows us exactly where the problem is, what caused it, and how severe it is. You can actually watch the video with us and see the issue firsthand. No guessing, no unnecessary digging.

Identifying the Root Cause

The camera inspection reveals cracks, breaks, root intrusion, clogs, or misalignment. We explain what we see and what it means for your home. This helps us recommend the best repair method and give you an honest estimate of costs.

Clearing Blockages

If the line is clogged with grease, roots, or debris, we use drain cleaning techniques to clear it. Sometimes this solves the problem completely. We can use traditional snaking or hydro jetting, which is more powerful and effective for stubborn blockages.

Traditional Excavation and Repair

For severe cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections, we dig up the affected area and replace the damaged pipe section. Yes, this means digging in your yard, but for major damage it's sometimes the only reliable solution. We work to minimize disruption and restore the area when we're done.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

When the damage is moderate and doesn't require full replacement, we can use trenchless technology like pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. These methods repair the line with minimal digging. Less damage to your landscape and lower overall cost make this appealing when it's the right fix.

Complete Line Replacement

Severely deteriorated lines or those with multiple problem areas sometimes need complete replacement. We recommend this when repair costs approach replacement costs, or when the line is too far gone to patch reliably. A new sewer line gives you decades of trouble-free service.
