Signs Your Sewer Line Needs a Repair

A sewer line break often stems from underlying issues, like clogs or old pipes. 

Look out for these signs of a broken or damaged sewer line:

  • Frequent toilet clogs. If your toilet frequently clogs, especially the downstairs toilets, it could be due to a sewer line clog.
  • Visible sewage in your yard. Seeing sewage in your yard clearly indicates a sewer line problem.
  • Sewage smell indoors. A sewage smell in your home usually means raw sewage is nearby. That means it’s time to call for an inspection and potential sewer cleaning near you.

Early detection of sewer line issues can save homeowners from larger, more costly problems. Regular maintenance checks are advisable to catch minor issues before they escalate. Additionally, understanding early warning signs can empower homeowners to seek timely repairs and avoid potential health hazards associated with sewage leaks. Don't hesitate to call the plumbing company known for sewer repair Lafayette homeowners rely on.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Innovations

Residents of Lafayette can benefit from the innovative trenchless sewer line replacement services we provide. Unlike traditional methods, trenchless technology offers a less invasive approach by avoiding the need for extensive excavation. This technique not only preserves your landscape but also reduces labor time and potential damage to the property.

With trenchless methods, pipe bursting and pipe lining are two common approaches. Pipe bursting involves breaking the existing pipeline while simultaneously laying a new one. Pipelining, however, installs a lining within your current pipes, creating a new, durable layer. These efficient methods ensure your sewer systems are upgraded with minimal disruption, making them ideal for urban settings like Lafayette.

Steps to Take When Your Sewer Line Breaks

When facing a sewer line break, quickly minimizing damage is important. 

If you suspect your sewer line has broken, follow these steps as soon as possible:

  • Turn off your water supply. Prevent water from mixing with sewage and prevent water from continuing to flow down your drains by shutting off the house’s water supply.
  • Immediately shut off anything flowing down the drain. If anything flows through your drain or sewer line, shut it off immediately, along with your main water supply.
  • Quarantine any contaminated areas. Raw sewage is a serious biohazard that must be handled carefully and cautiously. We recommend reaching out to your local restoration company, which is trained to handle the task.
  • Contact 5 Star Plumbing for Immediate Assistance. Our team will quickly inspect and diagnose the problem and suggest the best solution for your sewer repair in Lafayette.
