How Do You Know if You Need Sewer Line Repair or Replacement?

Don't let minor sewer line problems escalate! Timely repairs or replacement can save you money, hassle, and potential property damage.

Here are signs that your Huntsville home may require professional sewer line services:

  • Frequent backups and blockages: If you are experiencing regular backups in your toilets, showers, or sinks, you could have blockages within your sewer lines that regular plunging or snaking will not resolve.
  • Unpleasant odors: A healthy sewer system is airtight, except for vent stacks. If you notice foul smells of sewer gas either inside or around your property, there may be cracks or breaks in your sewer lines.
  • Gurgling sounds: Unusual noises coming from your toilets or drains, like gurgling sounds, can signal a restriction in your sewer lines.
  • Sinkholes or unexplained wet areas in your yard: If you notice sinkholes forming or persistent wet areas in your yard without an obvious source, it could be due to a leaking sewer line underneath your Huntsville property.
  • Increased pest presence: Broken sewer lines can attract rodents and insects. If you notice an uptick in pest activity around your home, your sewer line could be the culprit.
  • Age of your home: Older homes may have sewer lines made from materials that are prone to corrosion or decay over time, such as clay or cast iron. If your home is several decades old, it might be time for an inspection or upgrade.

If you notice any of these warning signs, it's important to act swiftly to avoid more serious and costly damage down the line. Our team at Thomas Service Company uses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to assess the condition of your sewer lines in Huntsville. Once we understand the problem, we will explain the situation and your options for correcting the issue clearly and respectfully. 

What Happens if Your Sewer Line Breaks?

A broken or severely damaged sewer line isn't just a nuisance–it can be a serious threat to the health of your home and family. 

Here's what you need to know about the potential consequences:

  • Sewage backups: Raw sewage can back up into your drains, causing flooding, unpleasant odors, and the spread of unsanitary conditions throughout your Huntsville home.
  • Health hazards: Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens. Exposure can lead to illness, particularly for those with compromised immune systems.
  • Structural damage: Leaking sewage can saturate the ground under your home's foundation, leading to shifting, settling, and cracks. In extreme cases, sinkholes can develop.
  • Yard damage: Lush, greener patches of grass may seem like a good thing, but they could signal a leaking sewer line fertilizing your lawn. This excess moisture can also create muddy conditions and attract pests.

If you suspect a sewer line break, don't ignore the warning signs. Contact Thomas Service Company promptly to schedule a sewer inspection in Huntsville, AL.

Methods of Repair & Replacement

Thomas Service Company, we offer our customers the latest and most effective industry solutions. 

The methods we use include:

  • Trenchless sewer line repair: Fixes damaged pipes without digging long trenches. A new pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking it apart and leaving the new pipe in its place.
  • Pipe bursting: Similar to trenchless repair but for badly damaged pipes. A powerful tool breaks up the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe through to replace it.
  • Pipe lining: Fixes leaks and cracks without replacing the entire pipe. A resin-coated tube is inserted and expanded within the old pipe, hardening to create a seamless "pipe within a pipe."
  • Traditional sewer line repair: Involves digging to access broken sections of the sewer line. Repairs, such as replacing broken segments or sealing large cracks, are made directly.
  • Sewer line replacement: When the pipe is beyond repair, the old line is removed entirely and replaced with a new sewer pipe, ensuring a long-lasting, durable solution.
