Feel Confident in Your Sewer & Drains

6 Reasons to Address Sewer Issues Promptly

A compromised sewer line can cause everything from minor hassles to major damage. Here are six signs you shouldn't ignore:

1 Frequent Backups

If toilets or drains keep clogging, you may have a deep blockage or structural issue in the main line.

2 Root Intrusions

Tree roots can force their way in through small cracks, eventually breaking or clogging the pipe.

3 Slow or Gurgling Drains

Persistent slowdowns or strange noises often signal a compromised sewer line that needs attention.

4 Foul Odors

Sewer gas escaping from damaged pipes can create unpleasant smells indoors or around your yard.

5 Soggy Spots or Sinkholes

Leaks in the sewer line can soften the surrounding ground, leading to muddy patches or sunken areas.

6 Outdated Materials

Pre‑1990 homes often have clay or cast iron lines that crack more easily. Keep an eye out—proactive measures like hydro jetting can delay major problems.

INFO CENTER

All About Sewers: Key Details, Tips, and Benefits for a Worry-Free Home

At PV, we employ varied methods for different sewer problems.

  • Drain Cabling (Snakes or Augers): Ideal for breaking up common clogs, from slow kitchen sinks to stubborn sewer blockages.
  • Camera Inspection: A high-definition camera locates cracks, root intrusions, or severe blockages without guesswork—helping you avoid unnecessary costs.
  • Hydro Jetting: A high-powered water stream cuts through buildup and residue, leaving pipes clog-free. Especially effective for grease and sludge.
  • Root Intrusions & Sewer Repairs: We assess root invasions, then clear or repair as needed. For extensive damage, we can excavate and replace compromised lines safely and efficiently.
  • Routine drain maintenance goes a long way toward preventing costly problems down the road. If you're experiencing frequent clogs, unusual odors, or slow drainage, don't wait—schedule a professional inspection. With PV Plumbing's expert services, you can regain peace of mind and protect the health and safety of your home.
What causes sewer line blockages?
Grease, food particles, hygiene products, and tree roots are common culprits. Over time, they build up or break through weak spots in the pipe, leading to clogs and backups.
What property or environmental factors can damage sewer lines?

In Georgia, clay soil naturally shifts and expands, putting extra stress on aging pipes. Poor backfilling or subpar installation can also weaken your system. Large trees growing over the sewer line may send roots into cracked sections, and vehicles repeatedly driving over the area can compress or misalign pipes. All these factors speed up wear and tear, leading to clogs, leaks, or total failures if left unchecked.

What are signs of a sewer line clog or break?
Slow drains throughout your home, foul odors, and repeated toilet backups can indicate a serious blockage. If sewage backs up into sinks or toilets on the main floor, it almost always points to a main line problem. Meanwhile, persistently soggy or unusually lush areas in your yard could suggest a cracked or broken line—whether it's the sewer or even the water main.
How do I know if I need sewer repair or replacement?

A free camera inspection is a great first step. Our licensed plumbers can spot cracks, root intrusions, or failing materials and then advise whether a simple repair or complete replacement is best.

Do older homes have more sewer problems?
They often do. Houses built before the 1990s typically used clay or cast iron pipes, which can corrode or crack with age. Newer homes may have PVC lines that can hold up better but still fail if they're poorly installed, invaded by tree roots, or exposed to years of grease and debris. Regular inspections and preventive care—like hydro jetting—help keep any sewer system running smoothly.
 Who pays for sewer line repairs?
Generally, homeowners are responsible for repairs on the line within their property. The city handles issues in the public sewer main beyond your connection point.
What is a sewer camera inspection?
It's when a small camera is threaded through your sewer line, providing a real-time view of any blockages or damage. We also track the exact location from the surface, so if a spot repair is needed, we know precisely where to fix it—avoiding guesswork and unnecessary digging or materials.
Is a spot repair enough, or do I need a full replacement?
That depends on the pipe's overall condition. If only a small section is damaged, a spot fix might do the trick. But if there's widespread corrosion or multiple cracks, replacing or relining the line can be more cost-effective in the long run.
Will I have to dig up my whole yard?
Not necessarily. Trenchless and relining methods let us repair or replace sections of your sewer line from within. In some cases, we can fix the issue without major excavation or disturbing your landscaping.
How can hydro jetting help my sewer line?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear stubborn grease, sludge, or roots. It's a thorough way to clean your pipes and reduce the chance of recurring clogs.
Can I prevent future sewer line problems?

Regular inspections, routine drain cleaning, and watching what goes down the drain (e.g., no grease or "flushable" wipes) are great first steps. If tree roots are creeping in, early spot repairs or root-killing treatments can prevent a costly replacement later. And if issues persist, a camera inspection or preventive hydro jetting can catch or avert bigger problems before they escalate.
