Sewer Repair in Little River Academy, TX

For many property owners, the sewer line installation is out of sight and out of mind. While most homeowners and business owners are mindful of the drain line, the sewer line is rarely even an afterthought. In reality, the sewer line is also susceptible to clogging, leaking, and other issues. Responsible property owners should schedule periodic sewer line cleaning and timely sewer repair in Little River Academy if they want to avoid the headache of a clogged or damaged sewer line. Residents in the area can call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to hire a uniformed and experienced plumber.

What is the Sewer Line?

Most people who think of the sewer line bring the sewer main to mind. But the sewer line is not just the public sewer main found under public roads. The sewer line consists of two components: the sewer main which runs under public roads and is managed by the local government, and the sewer line lateral which runs across private properties to connect the buildings to the sewer main.

When plumbers refer to the sewer line, we are typically talking about the sewer line lateral which connects the building’s drain line to the sewer main under the public road. It is generally buried a few feet underground and is a few inches in diameter.

The Sewer Line DOES Need Cleaning

It might sound strange, but the sewer line does need to be cleaned periodically. Thousands of gallons of sewage and gunk flow through the sewer line, and a lot of it can stick to the sewer line and accumulate. Over time, the sewer line can become clogged. If ignored, blockages can result in leaks and even sewage backups.

It’s best to schedule sewer line cleaning once every few years, but this service is typically schedule on an as-needed basis. If you notice MULTIPLE drains or sinks are draining slowly, making gurgling sounds, or backing up, then your sewer line probably needs to be cleaned. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to schedule a sewer line cleaning appointment today.

How You Know Your Sewer Line is Damaged

Blockages are the most common issue that sewer lines face. Though structural damage is less common, it is much more severe and urgent. With the sewer line buried several feet underground, how do you know if it’s damaged? Plumbers use advanced tools and equipment to inspect for damage, but you can look out for signs of trouble as well. These include:

  • Patches of overly green grass and vegetation
  • Pest and rodent infestations
  • Sunken areas in the yard
  • Rancid puddles or soggy areas
  • The smell of sewage

Make sure to arrange sewer repair as soon as possible if you notice these warning signs. Remember, a timely repair today is better than a premature replacement tomorrow.

Nathan A. was our plumber.  He was very friendly and courteous and explained everything he needed to do for the job.  He had to replace the toilet but he also realized an existing problem with the original installation.  He fixed that problem and replaced the toilet very skillfully and professionally.  We appreciate his help and will definitely call again.
