Before you decide to have sewer main repair or installation done, there are a few important things to know. This type of work generally requires a permit from your city or county and may cause some temporary disruption to your daily activities. However, the benefits once completed are well worth it.
If you're building a new home or renovating, a sewer main installation is a necessary step. This complex process begins by excavating a trench from the street to your property line for the pipe.
Once the trench is dug, the pipe is installed. Sewer mains are typically made of concrete, PVC, or ductile iron, laid in sections, and connected with couplings. After installation, the pipe is tested for leaks. If it passes, it's backfilled and compacted. The final step is installing a cleanout for future access.
Several common problems can necessitate sewer main repair:
Tree Roots: Roots are often attracted to the water and nutrients in sewer pipes, growing into them and causing blockages or damage.
Breaks or Cracks: These can occur due to ground movement, freezing temperatures, or simply pipe age. If you have a break, it's crucial to get it repaired quickly to prevent sewage leaks into your home or yard.
