If you are dealing with sewer line issues on your Grand Prairie, TX property, fast sewer pipe repair is of the utmost importance. Sewer problems, like many other plumbing problems, can escalate rapidly, potentially causing significant damage to your home and yard.
While water damage is always a concern, as it can be incredibly costly and difficult to remedy, with sewer issues, you’ll have the added complication of raw sewage leaking out and contaminating your property. Although in many cases the pipes can be repaired, extensive damage may necessitate full sewer pipe replacement. Here’s what you need to know about these services and what to expect during your service appointment.

As with any pipes throughout your home’s plumbing system, sewer lines can run into issues like clogs and leaks. However, sewer pipes carry wastewater away from your home, and the last thing you want is for that dirty water to be leaking out around your property. Clogs in sewer lines can lead to backups in drains throughout your home, potentially causing that wastewater to come back up and out through drains in sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets.
The main problem with identifying issues with your sewer lines is that the pipes are underground. Because of this, they are not readily visible, so you may not even be aware that there is a problem until it has gotten pretty bad. This is why it is so important to be aware of the early warning signs so that you can catch any issues as quickly as possible.
Be on the lookout for these common indicators of sewer line issues:
Odor of mold, mildew, or sewage in your yard
Cracks in your foundation or basement
Soggy areas in your yard
Frequent drain backups or backups in multiple drains simultaneously
Increased pest activity in or around your home
If you notice any of these signs, don’t delay in calling your plumber for a sewer inspection. They’ll utilize a drain camera to inspect your home’s plumbing system, as well as the sewer lines connecting it to Grand Prairie’s main sewer system. This will enable them to get a complete picture of what is going on with your plumbing so that they can pinpoint the source of the problem.
If your plumber determines that your sewer line is blocked, they’ll generally use a rooter or hydro jet to clear the clog and get the pipes flowing smoothly again. For minor leaks, they can likely use trenchless sewer pipe repair methods to reline the inside of the pipe with epoxy to stop the leak. Major damage may necessitate sewer pipe replacement, though this will be a last resort, as it requires digging a trench on your property to access and replace the damaged pipe. Your plumber can advise you as to which method is most appropriate in your case.
