When you discover problems with your drain, you might first contact a plumber. But when the issues continue and only seem to get worse, it’s time to get in touch with a water and sewer installation professional who can properly inspect what’s brewing beneath the surface. While some matters can be resolved with basic maintenance, others are caused by structural concerns that require a sewer line replacement.

Here are some symptoms that should alert you to a more serious problem:

  • water and sewer installationAging: Possibly the most obvious sign something is going wrong is basic water and sewer line cleaning doesn’t work anymore. Though some pipes have a life span of at least 100 years, many develop wear and tear that can’t be repaired.
  • Blockages: Clogged drains lead to overflowing sinks and toilets. In most cases, the issue is resolved with a plunger or chemical solutions. But if the blockages persist, it may be due to a damaged sewer line, tree root encroachment, or a severe crack somewhere in the pipes — all of which will require a new water and sewer installation.
  • Noises: Turn on the taps and listen for unusual sounds, such as whistling, bubbling, and gurgling. Sometimes, this is because of a blockage, but if the noises grow worse with time, it may be because the line collapsed.

A water and sewer installation professional will use specific tools, such as a camera, to determine the severity of the problem. Experts can see everything from the location of a break to the condition of the pipes. If a replacement is the best option for your situation, your contractor will provide you with several choices. Before you know it, you’ll have a functioning sewer system again.
