Signs You Need Sewer Pipe Lining or Repair Services
Unless you work for Bill Howe, you probably don’t give sewage systems much thought. After all, when things are working correctly, there’s no need to think about your sewer system. However, when something goes wrong, such as a significant blockage or cracked pipes, the typical signs can’t be ignored. Here are common signs your sewer lines aren’t working properly.
Backed Up or Slow Drains
If multiple drains are draining slowly or not at all, there could be a major obstruction in the main sewer line from your home.
Strange Odors
When you smell sulfur or other unpleasant odors coming from drains, it typically means there is a leak or damaged area in the sewer line.
Sewage Backups
When tubs, toilets, or sinks have wastewater backing up, there’s a strong chance your sewer line is blocked.
Gurgling Sounds
Bubbling or gurgling sounds from drains or toilets are signs of trapped air that could be caused by blockages or damage.
Higher Water Bills
If your water bills are higher than normal and there are no other reasons, such as increased water usage, the culprit is usually a sewer line leak.
If you experience any of the above, it’s essential to contact Bill Howe Plumbing for a sewer line inspection. Our service professionals will identify the problem and determine the most appropriate sewer line repair or lining solutions.
The Trenchless Pipe Repair Process
Before this technology was available, digging trenches to access and replace old pipe infrastructure was the only option. The conventional process was costly, time-consuming, messy and could cause collateral damage. Trenchless pipelining repair costs less, is much quicker, and far less invasive. Plus, Bill Howe offers financing options that fit your budget.
- A professional plumber uses an advanced camera to locate damage, blockages, and other plumbing issues requiring repair.
- Once identified, obstructed lines are cleared and internally cleaned.
- After inspection and preparation of drain or sewer lines, a certified lining team applies a structural epoxy lining.
- For repairs involving vertical fittings and 90-degree turns, an injection-cast epoxy spray is applied over the lining to ensure thorough coverage and durability.
Occasionally, minor digging is required if a suitable access point to the line is unavailable. Bill Howe’s expert plumbers determine which method is right for your plumbing and budget. The new lining restores your plumbing efficiency to as good as or better than the original pipes.
