La Mesa Sewer Line Plumbers

The sewer line plays a critical role in maintaining the sanitation and functionality of your home or business. This line is responsible for transporting wastewater from your property to the municipal sewage system. A sewer line that does its job is vital for preventing contamination and keeping your interior environment clean and healthy. 

It is your responsibility to maintain the sewer lateral from your property to the main sewer line, which is usually located in the street or nearby easement. This lateral must be kept clear of debris, such as roots or grease, to ensure a smooth flow. The sewer laterals are entirely owned by the property owner they serve, typically ranging from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The homeowner is responsible for the entire length of this lateral line, including any sections that might run under public areas, like roads and landscaped zones.

The Signs of Sewer Line Damage

  • Slow-draining fixtures: If multiple fixtures in your home are draining slowly, it may indicate a blockage in the sewer line. 
  • Unpleasant odors: Foul smells from your drains or in your yard can signal a break or clog in the sewer line. These odors occur when sewage cannot flow freely, allowing gases to escape through cracks. 
  • A lush lawn: Is your grass as green as the fairways at Mesa Verde Country Club? We hate to break it to you, but unless this is part of an active maintenance program, the cause could be a sewer line break underground, giving your grass a very expensive watering. 
  • Frequent backups: Regular sewer backups, particularly in your home's lowest drains, indicate that waste cannot move effectively through the system. 
  • Mold growth: If you notice mold growth on the or ceilings, it could be due to sewer line leaks. The moisture from these leaks creates an ideal environment for mold, posing health risks and potentially damaging your home's structure. 
  • Cracks in the foundation: Sewer line damage can lead to foundation cracks, as leaking water erodes the soil underneath your home. These structural issues can become severe if not addressed. 
  • Increased pest activity: Rodents and insects are often attracted to moisture and waste from leaking sewer lines. An increase in pest activity around your home can signal a breach in the sewer line. 

We offer a free video camera drain inspection to identify pipe damage and obstructions that impede proper flow or cause recurrent backups. These high-tech cameras provide a real-time visual of the interior of your pipes, verifying that obstructions are cleared and the lines are clean after service. This inspection is aimed at getting your sewer system back to optimal function quickly and efficiently.

5 Main Causes of Sewer Damage

Sewer systems are crucial for maintaining public health and the environment, but they can suffer damage over time due to various factors. Here are five main causes of sewer damage:

  • Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots seek moisture and can infiltrate cracks or joints in pipes, causing blockages and structural damage.
  • Aging Infrastructure: Older pipes made of materials like clay or cast iron degrade over time, leading to cracks, leaks, and collapse.
  • Corrosion and Chemical Damage: Chemicals in wastewater can corrode metal pipes or erode concrete and clay, weakening the system.
  • Blockages from Non-Biodegradable Items: Improper disposal of items like wipes and grease can cause blockages, leading to backups and pressure on the system.
  • Ground Movement and Soil Shifting: Natural events like earthquakes or soil settling can shift or misalign pipes, causing cracks and leaks.

Preventative measures, such as regular inspection, tree root management, and proper waste disposal, can help reduce the likelihood of sewer damage.
