Why Sewer Line Replacement Is Necessary

Understanding when sewer line replacement is necessary can save homeowners time, stress, and expense. Sewer lines endure various stressors, leading to inevitable wear and tear that often requires more than a simple repair.

Sewer lines are designed to last, but several common issues can lead to premature failure:

Aging pipes: Older pipes, especially those made of outdated materials, may begin to weaken, crack, or collapse.
Root intrusion: Tree roots are drawn to the moisture in sewer lines, often growing through small cracks and expanding within the pipes, causing severe blockages and damage.
Shifting soil: Soil movement, erosion, or settling can cause pipes to shift, leading to disconnections or fractures in the sewer line.
Corrosion: Older metal pipes, in particular, are prone to corrosion, which weakens the pipe walls and can lead to significant leaks.
Clogging: Grease, waste, and debris can build up, causing persistent clogs that weaken the pipe structure.

When Repairs Won’t Cut It

While repairs are effective for minor issues, sometimes, they can’t address the underlying cause of the problem. For instance, severe root intrusion, extensive corrosion, and repeated clogs are indicators that a complete replacement may be the most effective solution. Additionally, if the sewer line has suffered from repeated repairs, a replacement can offer a longer-lasting solution, reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.

Benefits of Replacement vs. Continual Repair

Replacing your sewer line rather than continuing with temporary repairs brings several long-term benefits. A new sewer line provides a clear path for waste, eliminating frequent disruptions and potential property damage. Additionally, replacement offers peace of mind with a durable solution, reducing the frequency of future issues and increasing the overall value of your property.

Signs You Might Need a New Sewer Line

Recognizing the early signs of sewer line issues can save you from future headaches and costly repairs.

Indicators that your sewer line may need a professional replacement include:

Frequent backups and clogs: Persistent clogs often signal a more serious issue within the sewer line, which can’t be resolved with standard drain cleaning.
Soggy patches or lush spots on your lawn: When sewage seeps into the soil, it saturates the ground and acts as a fertilizer, creating unusually lush patches in your yard. If these spots are accompanied by unpleasant odors, it’s a strong indication of a sewer line leak that requires immediate attention and possibly replacement.
Unpleasant odors or sewer gas smell indoors: A functioning sewer line should be airtight. If you notice a sewer gas smell in your home, this could point to a crack or break in the line. This smell infiltrating your indoor space often indicates that a significant sewer line issue might require complete replacement to restore your home’s safety and comfort.
Slow drains throughout the home: One slow drain can typically be remedied with a quick cleaning, but when multiple drains in your home start to slow down, it’s usually a sign of trouble within the main sewer line. Slow drainage in various areas is often due to blockages or narrowing of the line, issues that can worsen and may eventually require a total sewer line replacement to prevent complete failure.

Our Sewer Line Replacement Process

We’ve refined our sewer line replacement process for accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your property. Our team provides a smooth experience, prioritizing quality and customer satisfaction.

When conducting a sewer replacement, we:

Perform an initial inspection and assessment: We can precisely identify the cause and location of damage within the line using advanced video inspection tools. This approach allows us to create a targeted plan that addresses the unique issues affecting your sewer line.
Plan and prepare: Once we’ve assessed the damage, we will handle all the details to get your replacement underway. This stage includes securing necessary permits, scheduling the replacement at a convenient time for you, and preparing the work area. We plan each step carefully to reduce any disruption to your home or landscape.
Excavate and replace the pipe: We use a traditional excavation method to replace the pipe. This approach allows for the precise removal and replacement of damaged lines.
Backfill and restore: Our team completes the job with thorough backfilling and site restoration after the new sewer line is securely in place. We return your yard to its original state as closely as possible, leaving the area clean and safe.

5 Star Service

The Only 5 Star Rated Plumbing company in the midsouth with over 3k reviews!

Serving Memphis, TN Since 2011

It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time. With 3 bids on hand, after Brock responded to my questions on different brands of tankless, position of gas and water pipes, along with a competitive price, It was an EASY decision to have Smith’s Plumbing replacing my 2 tanks water heater with a Rinnai RSC 199 tankless! Respectful, pleasant, and skillful install crew, Cody and Eli along with roofer Scott, took great care to protect wood floor and extra careful with hauling equipment up and down the stairs. The tankless water heater was up and running prior to 5PM on the same day. Rest assured it was my first and surely not my last experience with Smith’s Plumbing as I am an extremely pleased customer!

I can highly recommend Smith’s plumbing! Will Newman came and helped us uncover a leak that was coming from under our refrigerator. Will took the time to make a video report for our insurance adjuster and also made a call to a water mitigation company that showed up the next morning. Best customer service I have ever received!

- Lynn K.
Great job! The crew was friendly and courteous, which is a plus for me, great customer service goes a long way. I was well informed of the process for the project. They did everything we discussed at an affordable price. I appreciate how they refilled my yard back. It will be easier to get my lawn back in shape and summer ready.

Exceptional service from the front desk to the technician! They made my situation priority and got me taken care of in no time. My technician was Mr. Brock and up front and honest from the jump. Very knowledgeable, clean, respectful and efficient. I would recommend Smith's Plumbing Services to anyone I know! Not to mention, affordable!

- Raven W.
Smith Plumbing was awesome and went beyond normal procedures to provide us the support we needed to stop a main line water leak at our home. Their technicians and management were very professional and helpful. I would recommend to anyone their services, they were upfront on costs and their estimates. My wife and I appreciate their service and won't hesitate to call again on any plumbing issue we or friend and family incur.

- Reggie W.
Will was excellent! Personable, patient and professional. He was methodical in diagnosing our leak and came through with a very fair price. I walked him through other plumbing needs and wants and he steered me absolutely straight on what would could be done reasonably, what would be exorbitant and what would be risky. He took a video to avoid any miscommunication with the installers which I really appreciate. I am very happy with Smith's Plumbing Service!

- Shane P.
Will was awesome! He came out from an hour away on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. He immediately found the issue with my tankless water heater. He also gave me a great price that the other guys couldn't compete with. I will be using Will at smith plumbing services from now on for all my plumbing needs!

Smith’s Plumbing is great! I called for services on Monday and they were able to come out the next day. They kept me updated with appointment reminders and gave us a heads up when our technician was on his way. Our technician, Hunter, was polite and thorough. He identified what the problem was and informed us of next steps in case there was more damage than expected. Luckily our issue was simple. Hunter was able to repair our drain quickly and thoroughly tested it to make sure there weren’t any other hidden issues. I highly recommend Smith’s Plumbing.
