What is a Sewer Line?
Your sewer line is a critical part of your plumbing system. It is the pipe that connects all of the drains within your home to the public sewer system, carrying any wastewater to a municipal treatment plant. Typically, the sewer line is buried in your yard, and you likely do not see it or think about it on a daily basis.
If you have a septic tank, you do not have a sewer line. A septic system is an on-site water treatment option, most often used in situations where a home cannot conveniently be connected to a public sewer system, especially in more rural communities.
Sewer line replacement in Lexington does not occur frequently, as sewer lines often last up to 40 years, but it is sometimes required. More often, we do what we can to solve your problem with a repair.
Common Reasons for Sewer Line Repair or Replacement
- Blockages: When you’re not careful about what you wash down the sink drain or flush down the toilet, these items can build up in your sewer line. Grease in particular is known for caused obstructions, but other waste like hair, paper products, and more can clog up your pipes. This increases the pressure on your sewer line and may cause cracks or holes to form.
- Tree Root Intrusion: Some trees have strong, invasive root systems that can find the weak points in your pipes and pierce them. It’s smart to plant trees with less intrusive root systems when you’re choosing the landscaping for your property.
- Shifting Earth: Austin is near the Balcones Fault Zone, and earthquakes do occur throughout Texas – though often west of our location – which can cause the ground to shift. This can unfortunately result in damage to your sewer line.
- Heavy Equipment or Construction: If you’re doing work in your yard above the sewer line or someone drives over it, this can cause damage. Be careful and prevent vehicles from driving over the location of your sewer pipe.
