What Causes Sewer Lines To Break?

Since a sewer line plays such a crucial role in waste disposal, even a tiny break can be damaging. While built to handle the needs of an entire plumbing system, sewer lines can break from outside factors like:

  • Shifting soil or sediment: As soil erodes, a sewer line or drain pipe may become unsettled, sloping in the wrong direction or sinking further into the ground.
  • Tree root infiltration: Moisture-seeking roots sometimes grow into sewer lines, causing major blockages that lead to breaks.
  • Improper waste disposal: Sewer lines are designed for human waste and toilet paper. Don’t flush greases, fats, or oils down your toilets or drains.
  • Faulty installation: If your sewer line wasn’t installed at an adequate downward slope, it’s more prone to burst.
  • Age: Older pipes are prone to corrosion, cracks, and leaks.

Sewer Line Repair vs. Sewer Line Replacement

Deciding whether to repair or replace your sewer line depends on the extent of the damage. If the issue is minor, like a small leak or crack, a repair is often best. However, replacement might be the more cost-effective solution if your sewer line or septic system is old, severely damaged, or repeatedly causing problems.
