Common Causes of Sewer Line Problems
Sewer issues are not only found in old homes with worn-out pipes; they can happen to anyone at any time. Some of the most common causes of sewer issues include:
- Roots – The root system of that big beautiful tree in your yard grows underground, where it searches for a water source. The roots are strong enough to burst through sewer pipes and cause immense damage if the line is too close to the tree.
- High temperatures – A sudden spike in the temperature outside or a major weather event can cause the ground to shift, which may damage or even break a sewer line.
- Corrosion – Old and worn out pipes need to be replaced. Did you know that using chemical drain cleaners can speed up the corrosion process?
