Sewer Pipe Problems That Can Ultimately Lead to Costly Pipe Replacement

It’s no surprise that if you pay no attention to your plumbing’s needs it will come after you with numerous unfortunate consequences. The reason some sewers desperately need repiping. Most of these cases are neglected problems or have completely gone undetected minor issues that have turned into significantly major ones. Here’s a few of them that will serve as a guide on why you shouldn’t wait to fix a problem and why we think it’s best to consider sewer pipe relining early rather than later.

Sewer Pipe Problems That Can Ultimately Lead to Costly Pipe Replacement

CORROSION
There are multiple reasons why corrosion can set in in a pipe system. Age is often the reason for this, but other factors can also come into play. It could be conditions that didn’t receive attention or were intentionally ignored from the beginning. Pipe corrosion can be most damaging to your sewers and in your home. They make your sewer pipes vulnerable to clogs, leak and even burst, and ultimately make your pipes fail. The worst thing you can do is take minor issues that occur within a pipe system lightly. Once left untreated, the problem will worsen, and leave you footing the bill for an expensive repair job.
NUMEROUS LEAKING INSTANCES
When your pipe has sprung a leak many times, it just proves that its physical integrity is weak. Numerous leaking instances can reduce your pipe’s life expectancy to only a few years. So the tendency that you’ll be needing the service of a plumber again is sure to happen.
A leaking sewer can cause foul stenches to emanate in your home, as well as risk your property for sinkhole, sewage backup, and ultimately pipe collapse. Your first warning sign that a leak is about to happen soon is a frequent clog situation in your home. Put simply, where there’s a clog, leaks will surely come next. Leaks work silently, but once it worsens, it will never fail to make a wild consequence like flooding. So, if you feel you may have leaks in your pipe, don’t take more time to call a professional. Even a tiny leak when ignored can easily turn into a huge sewer disaster especially when you have sprawling trees growing very close or just above where your sewer pipe runs.
INTRUDING TREE ROOTS
Some of the most common reasons for an unanticipated pipe failure rather comes from the outside than indoors. Tree roots can interfere with wastewater lines, causing water to seep out into your yard. Roots, just like plants, grow thicker, stronger, and longer everytime you cut it. If you notice your frequency of blocked drain visits from your plumber, you’ll be surprised at the dates of the visits getting closer and closer. Truthfully, if you don’t bite the bullet and consider a permanent solution for this, by sewer relining Sydney, there’s a great chance that you could still be spending more on your pipes and drains than ever before.
SEVERE SEWER CLOG
When you have a clogged drain, your initial reaction must be to grab a plunger without thinking that there are some clogs where your plunger will be of no help at all — like when the main sewer line in your home is severely clogged. One of the first signs of a problem with the main sewage line is water backing up in the sink or toilet. You may hear a weird gurgling sound and see water regressing from a drain.
If you flush the toilet and see water coming up in different drains in your home, like in the basement drain or in your shower, the problem is likely with the main line.
So, as soon as you notice your toilet or drains are having a hard time draining the water, call the sewer pipe relining experts right away. Severe clogs that are not fixed permanently can make you end up with a flooding catastrophe in your home.

Why is it Best to Consider Sewer Pipe Relining Early?

Sewer pipe relining costs can get a bit steep – Sewer line relining is no different to other types of repair in your home. The longer the length of the pipe that requires fixing, the longer the hours needed to complete the job. The worse the condition, the more materials needed. This will increase the pipe relining cost.
You’ll lose the opportunity for relining – If the sewer pipe is severely damaged, or most part of the pipe is broken, and the rest is in bad condition, it is less likely that relining can still be an option. Sewer relining contractors will have no way to stick the liner to the existing pipe because it is no longer reliable. It will not hold the liner in its place. When this happens, your only best chance to restore your sewer line is a complete pipe replacement.
Your home is at risk for digging and trenching works – When your sewer line is severely compromised and the only logical option to restore your system is pipe replacement, you’ll have no choice but to take the rap and just deal with the mess, noise, and danger the digging and trenching works may potential bring into your home.
A lot of things can happen – Waiting to fix a minor problem can only do more harm than good in your sewer line. Bear in mind, tree roots are working their way silently into your sewer lines. For them, your sewer is a highway of nutrients that are essential for their growth. While they quietly grow inside, they’re making cracks and leaks in your sewer line a lot more bigger and difficult to clear.
