Common Types of Sewer Repairs

‍

Blockage Removal: Tree roots, grease buildup, and debris can create serious clogs that require professional cleaning techniques.

‍

Pipe Replacement: Aging pipes made from clay or cast iron deteriorate over time and may need complete replacement with modern PVC materials.

‍

Joint Repairs: Connections between pipe sections can separate or leak, requiring targeted repair techniques.

‍

Structural Repairs: Ground shifting, freezing temperatures, or root intrusion can crack or collapse sections of sewer line.

‍

What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

‍

Tree Root Intrusion: Roots naturally seek moisture and can invade pipes through small cracks, eventually causing major blockages or breaks.

‍

Aging Infrastructure: Charleston's older neighborhoods often have original pipes that may have reached the end of their useful life, especially those with clay or cast iron pipes.

‍

Ground Movement: Soil shifting due to weather changes, construction, or natural settling can stress pipes and cause them to crack or separate.

‍

Improper Use: Flushing inappropriate items or pouring grease down drains can create blockages over time.

‍

Weather Extremes: Freezing and thawing cycles can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks and breaks.
