Sewer Lines - What are they?
Sewer lines are the pipes that run from your house to the city sewer or a septic tank. They may need attention periodically. Otherwise, clogs and other issues can lead to serious sewer line repair or replacement.
Clogs in sewer lines may occur naturally, but the only way to know for sure if your main sewer line requires unclogging is to consult a professional. The technicians at B. Johnston Plumbing have performed this service countless times and know how to get any problems with your sewer lines solved quickly and professionally. Depending on the state of your sewer line, you may need routine inspections once every few years.
What To Expect And How To Prepare for Sewer Line Service
The first step in the sewer line repair process is always diagnosis. Your plumber will run a camera through your pipes and mark the location of your pipes on the surface with spray paint. Utility lines, sprinklers, and other below-ground obstacles will also be marked. It's important to tell your plumber about any utility lines on your property.
You will need neighbors to sign a permission form if your pipes run under their property, and usually, you'll need a permit from the city to start work.
​
Sewer line repair may be quite loud. Despite our best efforts to reduce the noise level, you may want to reschedule bridge or poker night until after the work is done.
Keep in mind that during the repairs some services may be interrupted. Most important for the relief of our plumbers, avoid dumping anything into toilets or drains while crews are working on your lines.
What Are The Warning Signs Of A Damaged Sewer Line?​
-
Frequent backups in your drains, despite your best efforts to clean them
-
Multiple fixtures are clogged at the same time
-
Soggy patch of grass when it hasn’t rained or snowed recently
-
An indentation on your lawn
-
A constant smell of sewage
What Causes Clogs?
Sewer line clogs are caused by a variety of factors. Tree roots are especially bad for your pipes, and they can be difficult to deal with. The picture above illustrates how roots can break through your sewer line over time.
Oils and fats flushed down the pipes will also build up over time. Never drain grease into your sink. It is always better to wipe down pans and greasy dishes with paper towels before doing dishes if you routinely cook with oil. Especially bacon grease.
Other causes include:
-
broken tiles
-
bad mortar connections
-
inline traps
-
negative grade sloping
-
pipe sagging
-
offset joints
-
pipe cracks
-
sludge buildup
-

Video Sewer Line inspection
A video camera designed for pipe inspection is one of the most useful tools in a plumber’s arsenal. If there’s an issue with your drains or your plumbing that isn’t clear on the surface, a camera inspection can provide the intelligence needed to fix it.
Whether the issue lies just out of sight or deep down in the drain pipes below your home, a video camera inspection can be the most efficient way to identify the problem. Trust in the experts at B Johnston Plumbing Ltd to carry out the camera inspection with the skills and professionalism required of the technology.
