If your sewer is showing signs of failure, the reason behind it can usually be attributed to a short list of culprits. Generally speaking, most sewer problems are attributed to any combination of the following causes:

• Intruding tree roots: Trees on your property can threaten your sewer line as their roots grow and infiltrate your pipes. If tree roots enter your sewer line, they can block it entirely or cause leaks, eventually leading to failure.
• Blockages: Obstructions can form in your sewer line from virtually anything you flush down your drains, including food waste, paper products that are not meant to be flushed, coagulated grease, and objects.
• Age: Nothing lasts forever, including your sewer line. Decades of harsh conditions can cause your sewer lining to crack or burst, leading to an ugly mess. To avoid this, it is important to schedule regular sewer inspections and preventative maintenance services from our licensed professionals.
