Sewer System Repair & Replacement

Learning to Spot the Signs Your Sewer Is in Trouble 

When there is a problem inside your home or out in your backyard, it is usually something you can identify immediately, and then get started on arranging for repairs right away. You may even be able to handle the issue yourself, such as changing a burnt-out light bulb or replacing the filter for your air conditioner. Other problems are not so easy to see, however, especially if they occur deep beneath the ground in your sewer system. It is critical to recognize the signs of sewer failure because the consequences of ignoring them – even by accident – can be devastating. By looking out for the signals that your sewer needs troubleshooting, you can quickly alert plumbing professionals to provide the dedicated repairs you require.

Some of the clear indicators that your sewer is in need of thorough repairs include:

• Vividly green patches of grass or foliage suddenly appearing along your back yard
• The smell of rotting food, waste, or sewage
• Multiple clogs occurring in your toilets and drains
• Damp spots and moist areas located around the floors of your bathrooms and kitchens
• Signs of mold and mildew growing from accumulated condensation
• An influx of pests such as rodents or roaches, attracted to the smell of sewage

What Are the Consequences of Neglecting to Replace Your Sewers?

A burst sewer is likely to be one of the worst nightmares of anyone who owns a home or runs a business in Long Beach, and this is for good reason. If your sewer bursts, the damage that occurs is far more devastating than the water damage that might come from any other leaking pipe. The toxic waste that escapes from a sewer line is especially hard to clean, whether it gets on your valuables and priceless belongings, or stains your floors and decks. Not only is sewer leakage very expensive to remove, but both the odors and physical exposure are highly hazardous to anyone who comes in contact with them.

The answer is thorough sewer replacements, whenever it appears that your sewage lines are quite corroded and are not responding well to minor repairs. Even if your sewers have not resulted in too many issues yet, lines that are several decades old should be replaced before they start creating a dangerous mess all over your yard.
