Sewer Line Repair | Plumbing Fort Worth

Sewer line issues may give very little warning. You may walk to the garage and note water pooling on the lawn. On the other hand, you may become aware when your plumbing in Fort Worth has problems such as the drains won’t drain or the toilet won’t flush. It wasn’t so many years ago when sewer line repair always involved a backhoe digging up the lawn, patio and anything else in the way. Once the pipe was repaired the trench was refilled according to local code, and you were left with a muddy lawn lacking grass or landscaping. It was also possible you were left with a destroyed patio or other structure.

Thankfully today there is an alternative for homeowners’ sewer issues in their plumbing in Fort Worth and provides all of the following benefits:

• Stops leakage and provides new sewer pipe that will last for decades.
• Will increase the flow capacity of sewer lines.
• No digging or destruction to your property is required, preserving the lawn and landscaping. This is especially beneficial when sewer lines lie beneath a driveway, patios, decks and buildings are built over sewer lines.
• Sewer pipe bursting’ replaces your home’s damaged or aged plumbing in Fort Worth with entirely new sewer pipes. A cable is fed through the length of the sewer pipes and attached to a tool called the bursting head. Using a hydraulic winch, new pipe is pulled through the old pipe with the bursting head breaking up the original pipe and pushing it into the surrounding soil out of the way. This method provides brand new sewer pipe that is resistant to leaking, cracking and root invasion without damage to your lawn or landscaping and without the destructive digging of traditional sewer repair.

When sewer lines are slow to drain, clog, back up or start to leak it can be a sign they are in need of repair or replacement. Sewer pipe problems can result in the leakage of bacterial and viral laden waste. This can lead to dangerous contamination of the water table, wells and surface water such as lakes and creeks. Sewer line repair or replacement calls for qualified professionals equipped with the proper tools and knowledge to diagnose, locate and repair the problematic sewer lines. Sewer line repair restores the efficiency and drainage of your home’s plumbing in Fort Worth.

Faulty sewer lines may cause a backup of waste water and result in damage to your home. Some common signs of sewer line issues are as follows:

• Water pooling on the lawn
• The grass over the sewer line may be greener than the surrounding lawn
• Collapsed areas in the drain field
• Sewage odor
• Toilets that don’t flush and drains that are slow or won’t drain at all.
• Waste water can back up into drain lines inside the home

Waste water is a potential health hazard as well as a source of structural damage and requires prompt repair, when leaking or entering your home or business.
