Sewer Line Repair in Olympia

Keeping Your System in Good Working Order

No one performs sewer repair in Olympia like the plumbers at West Coast Plumbing Pumps & Filtration. Sewer repairs can be intimidating and scary. As the largest drain in a home or commercial property, the main sewer line is fed by every other connecting line on your property.

This leads to the city-owned sewer line or private septic tank. There are a number of reasons your line can become compromised and require sewer line repair from experts.

These aren’t limited to, but can involve:

• Collapsed, broken, or breaking lines due to ground freeze or soil shifts.
• Blockages and clogs can occur from foreign objects or excessive buildup of waste and debris.
• Age can account for joint leakages and failed seals.
• Tree roots can actually grow into pipes causing sewer lines to back up.

An obstructed or damaged line often present symptoms. If you encounter any symptoms, contact us to have your lines thoroughly inspected.

Make sure to look out for:

• Backed-up or slow-running drains
• Structural damage or crack along foundations, floors, and walls
• Gurgling noises emanating from your drains
• The smell of sewage outside, inside, or around your home
• Water stains surrounding your basement floor drain
• Visible raw sewage on the ground
