Types of Sewer Systems We Repair

Our professionals can perform sewer line repairs on all types of materials and sewer systems, such as:

  • Sanitary sewers. These carry wastewater from homes and businesses to main sewer lines and then to wastewater plants. This wastewater is then cleaned at these plants.
  • Storm sewers. These move stormwater into a nearby body of water to prevent flooding around homes or businesses.
  • Combined sewers. These carry both wastewater and stormwater to sewage treatment facilities. However, these types of sewer systems are not common anymore due to the difficulty of cleaning stormwater.

Repair and Replacement

Once we diagnose the sewer line complication, we'll determine the best option and perform one the following types of repairs:

  • Pipe relining: Pipe relining is one of the most common types of sewer line repair. With this method, we'll clean your existing sewer pipes and line them with a protective sleeve. This sleeve will harden within a few hours, preventing cracks and leaks.
  • Open trench repair: Open trench repair involves digging up your sewer lines and repairing or replacing damaged sections. This type of repair is necessary when you have extensive damage.

  • Gurgling noises coming from your toilet
  • Lack of water in your toilet
  • Slow drains
  • Sewer odor in your basement or yard
  • Flooded yard

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact a professional plumber as soon as possible.

Sewer Line Repair FAQs

Who Is Responsible for Sewer Line Repair?

As a homeowner, you are responsible for arranging professional sewer line repairs if the damage is in the sewer line that runs from your house to your property line. Your city or municipality is responsible for repairs and associated costs if the damage is in the main sewer line, but you may be responsible if the main sewer line's complication is caused by damage or a blockage within your home's sewer line.

If your sewer line needs attention, call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing so we can help.

 

Can a Sewer Line Freeze?

Yes. This can happen in your home due to incorrect insulation, issues with your heating system, or significant temperature drops outside. Outdoors, sewer lines can freeze if they are buried too shallow. If you notice a lack of water flowing through your plumbing or sewage odors in your home, then your plumbing or sewer line may be frozen. Call your local plumbing professional right away to inspect your sewer lines.

Why Does Your House Smell Like Sewer?

If your entire home smells like sewage, there may be a leak or a backup in your sewer line. If not addressed quickly, this can lead to dangerous sewage leaks or costly repairs. Contact your local plumber to inspect your sewer line for potential repairs.
