Sewer lines run underground to keep them protected from damage and to keep humans, animals, and soil protected from exposure to the sewage running through the lines. Despite being underground, they are still susceptible to damage and some of the more common causes include:
Underground sewer lines are incredibly durable and some of the thickest pipes in your plumbing system. However, they are no match for earthquakes, tree roots, and mechanical construction damage. Broken sewer lines can range from large gashes that result in spewing black water to small cracks that result in leaks that remain undetected until it affects the area around the leaking pipe.
Bellied pipes occur when sections of the pipeline sink in slightly due to shifting or settling earth, creating uneven dips in the pipeline. The result is a collection spot for debris and waste that blocks the flow of water and sewage.
Underground water or sewer line lines that aren’t secured or sealed properly have vulnerable joints that can start to leak over time. Pipe joints are more susceptible to breaks when the earth shifts or freezes.
Sewer blockages are more common than they should be and happen when there is a buildup of non-flushable items including wipes, hair, grease, and other hygiene products. These clogs need to be removed to prevent total line blockage.
Sewer line pipe corrosion is not as common in newer areas where pipes are made differently, but older sewer lines are more susceptible to corrosion due to exposure to harsh chemicals. Chemicals that can erode sewer lines include cleaning agents, products meant to relieve clogs, and even oxidizing pipe metal. Corrosion weakens pipe walls and can result in leaks.
