What causes sewers to go bad?
A number of actions can lead to a sewage system failing, including clogged or damaged pipes. In many cases, a sewer line replacement is necessary to bring the system back up to safe operating standards.
- Flushing oils and grease down the drain: As this liquid moves through the pipes and cools, it hardens, clinging to the sides of the pipe walls and causing the pipe’s circumference to narrow. Eventually, layer upon layer of hardened grease grows and forms a blockage.
- Faulty plumbing connections: Storm water can back up into the sewage system via faulty plumbing connections such as sump pumps or floor drains that join the sewage lines.
- Tree-root growth: It may not seem likely, but it’s common for tree roots to force their way through pipes, which creates tiny fracturelike punctures. Once the roots grow through the pipe, they wreak havoc and cause waste passing through to get caught on the roots. Both components create clogs. Eventually, the roots cause the pipe to separate and crack. When this happens, a costly replacement job is necessary.
