Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Seattle

One of the worst plumbing scenarios a home or property owner can imagine when they hear the words “emergency plumbing” is a burst sewer line. At best, a broken or clogged sewer line is contained to one location outside of your home, but at worst, the line backs up or overflows inside the home. You never want to see backed up sewage flooding your home, but unfortunately broken or clogged sewer lines do happen, and the problem is greater than just the mess in your home. Sewer line repairs can cost a lot of money, time, and stress, and on top of that, backed-up sewage can cause costly damage to your flooring and yard.

Not only can a sewage leak cause serious damage to your property, it can also be detrimental to the health of you and your family. Sewer lines are designed to safely transport contaminated waste and water to its designated treatment center. It is not meant to be easily accessible and when there’s a leak inside your home, then the exposure to bacteria is greater, leaving you and your loved ones at risk of getting sick. Seeking professional assistance and cleanup for a sewer line leak is your first priority, and that means you need a plumbing company that is qualified to handle line repair quickly and efficiently. 

Advancements in plumbing techniques over the years have led to increased  innovation when it comes to more efficient and productive ways of repairing sewer lines. A common problem with the plumbing in older homes is that the pipes are usually concrete or clay, and like all things, these materials will get worn down and become less reliable over time . As the years go by, pipes begin to degrade, causing breaks or developing small leaks that gradually get bigger. If the pipes become worn down enough the material of the pipe can catch on waste or debris, causing clogs to build up. Hopefully, you will be able to catch these issues before they get out of hand, but if the problem gets big enough, the only solution is to replace the whole system.

Repiping a home plumbing system traditionally involves a lengthy, expensive, and disruptive process of excavation and pipe replacement with PVC piping. Once it’s finished, most homeowners then also have to hire a landscaper to repair the damage that has been done to their yard. While the process of totally replacing the entirety of your sewer lines is no small feat, the professionals at Drain Pro Plumbing are more than up to handle the task for your Seattle home!
