    When to Call for Sewer Repair

    Compromised sewer systems can be caused by many factors, including from inside the pipe, outside of it, natural, and man-made sources. The older the pipe the more likely a problem is to occur. Call the experts and get the certified sewer line repairs in Tacoma.

    What Causes a Sewer Line to Break:

    • Ground freezing and soil shifts can break or collapse pipes. Acidic soil can eat away at pipes.
    • Foreign objects, debris, and even standard waste can accumulate and create a clog.
    • Older pipes frequently suffer from failing seals and leakage at the joints.
    • Even a minuscule crack in a pipe is enough for tree root penetration, expansion, and blockage.

    Symptoms Requiring Sewer Repair:

    Sewer repair isn’t usually sudden, you’ll likely see signs before disaster strikes. Call a Tacoma plumber from our team for an inspection if you encounter any of the following symptoms of sewer line damage.

    Dangers of Untreated Sewer Line Problems

    It’s so important to take a sewer line issue seriously. When certain components fail they can allow sewage water and waste to back up into a home. Sewage is one of the more dangerous fluids we deal with. It carries bacteria, viruses, and other dangerous contaminants. That makes it so important to keep children and small pets away from all affected areas. The same can occur with gasses. Because of this, our Tacoma plumbers recommend taking preventative measures while we arrive. If you can safely turn off your electrical and water system, do so. If you are not sure where to go, how to turn it off, or if electrical dangers are present, wait for the professionals.

    If exposed skin touches sewage waste, wash it immediately. The faster we arrive the sooner we can prevent greater damage from occurring. You’ll also want to contact your home insurance provider immediately. They will help you determine what needs documenting, and how to proceed with the sewage cleaning process after we have finished repair work.
