What Are The Signs That I Might Need A Sewer Or Water Line Repair?

Unfortunately, you cannot easily access your main water or sewer line since it’s underground. Discovering breaks or risks to either line’s integrity can take days, weeks, or months.

There are signs you can watch out for that indicate a replacement is needed. These include:

• Soggy spots in your yard
• Foul, sewer-like odors emitting from faucets, your yard, or the lowest level of your home
• Sudden or gradual drops in water pressure
• Dramatic increases in your water bill
• Discolored water emitting from kitchen or bathroom faucets

These signs can point to a crack or break in your lines. To avoid damage to your property, it’s vital to seek repair or replacement options as soon as possible.

What Causes Sewer And Water Lines To Need A Repair Or Replacement?

Sewer and water lines can require repair or replacement due to several factors, including:

• Age and deterioration
• Tree root intrusion
• Ground shifting
• Corrosion
• Blockages from debris or grease buildup
• Damage from freezing and thawing cycles, which are common in the Midwest

How Is A Water Or Sewer Line Repaired Or Replaced?

The difference between sewer and water line replacements and repairs involves how much pipe will need to be replaced.

A leak might involve replacing several feet of your main water line with new piping. If the majority of your lines are corroded or worn down, then a new installation will be necessary.

Repair methods can vary depending on the issue. Traditional repair involves digging trenches to access the damaged pipes. This is only performed when necessary, due to the nature of this method being disruptive and time-consuming.

Trenchless methods, like pipe bursting or pipe lining, require minimal excavation. The appropriate method for your home will depend on the specific problem and the condition of your existing pipes.

What is Trenchless Pipe Bursting?

Trenchless pipe bursting involves pulling a new pipe through the existing one, bursting the old pipe apart as the new pipe takes its place. This method is not only efficient but also minimizes the disruption to your property, preserving your landscaping and hardscaping. Learn if trenchless pipe bursting is the right fit for your sewer line needs:

How Long Does It Take To Install Or Repair A Line?

Our plumbers with Anthony Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric can complete a traditional line replacement in roughly 4 to 8 hours. It can take longer depending on the size of your property and the location of each line.

More extensive sewer and water line replacements can take several days to complete. Trenchless methods generally take less time than traditional excavation.

New Water Line Installations and Replacement

Don’t take any chances if your sewer or water lines are worn down. You need to hire a professional plumbing company. An expert can prevent major water damage by distinguishing between a water line leak and a corroded sewer line.

How Much Does It Cost To Repair My Sewer Or Water Lines?

Costs vary widely based on the scope of the project, the materials used, and local labor rates. On average, water line repairs can range from $500 to $3,000, while sewer line repairs can range from $1,000 to $7,500.

Complete replacements are more expensive, particularly if extensive excavation is required.

Will My Homeowner’s Insurance Cover Sewer Or Water Line Repairs?

Homeowner’s insurance policies vary. Unfortunately, many do not cover sewer or water line repairs unless you have a specific rider or endorsement.

It’s essential to review your policy and consider additional coverage if you’re concerned about potential repairs. Some utility companies also offer service line protection plans.

How Can I Prevent Future Sewer Or Water Line Problems?

This prevention is important for protecting your property. Identifying the issue early can save you time and money on repairs. Preventive measures include:

• Regular inspections
• Avoiding planting trees and shrubs near sewer lines
• Not flushing non-degradable items down the toilet
• Being cautious about what you pour down the drains
• Insulating pipes can help prevent damage from freezing temperatures
