ADVANTAGES
What can cause a broken sewer line?
- Age: Sewer pipes are built to last, but over time, they can deteriorate and become more susceptible to cracks, leaks, and breaks. If your sewer line is over 50 years old, it may be more prone to failure.
- Tree roots: Trees and shrubs have powerful roots that can grow into your sewer line and cause damage. As the roots grow, they can put pressure on the pipes, causing them to crack or break.
- Ground movement: Changes in the ground, such as soil settling, earthquakes, or construction work, can put stress on sewer pipes, leading to cracks or breaks.
- Corrosion: Pipes made of certain materials, such as cast iron or galvanized steel, can corrode over time, leading to weak spots and eventually, breaks.
- Blockages: Over time, debris and other materials can build up in your sewer line, causing blockages and putting pressure on the pipes. If left unchecked, this pressure can cause the pipes to crack or break.
