How Sewer Pipe Relining Experts help you Avoid Winter Plumbing Problems

         Sewer Leaks – Your sewer lines may be lying underneath your feet but they are not resistant to cold weather problems. Heavy snow and harsh weather can cause sewer lines to crack, especially when it has a buildup that is not addressed. Pipe joints could also loosen and become misaligned.

          Tree Root Issues – During the cold months of the year, one would think that tree roots become lazy, but they’re wrong. Instead, they continue to look for sources of moisture underground and deeper to thrive. For tree roots, the warm water flowing through the sewer lines is a lifesaver, therefore they’re attracted to it. A thorough sewer inspection can determine if thirsty tree roots have found their way into your sewer lines.

          Blocked Sewer Lines – Sewer pipes are typically made of either copper or PVC materials that expand and contract when exposed to temperature changes. Considering the effects of cold temperatures on pipes in mind, it’s safe to say that if your sewer pipes are subjected to winter weather, the sewage waste inside can expand because it freezes. Along with the high chance that your pipe can contract when it’s cold, this can spell disaster. If the sewer pipe bursts to the point that it is beyond repair, you will need to completely replace it.
