SEWER LINES
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of warnings signs indicate a sewer line issue in the bathroom?
There are several warning signs indicating a potential sewer line issue in your bathroom that should prompt you to act swiftly to prevent further damage. Recognizing these signs early can save you from significant inconvenience and costly repairs:
- Foul Odors: Persistent unpleasant smells, particularly those resembling sewer odors, are a clear indicator of a sewer line problem.
- Slow Draining Fixtures: If multiple fixtures in your bathroom are draining slowly, this could signal a blockage or issue within your sewer line.
- Gurgling Noises: Unusual gurgling sounds when flushing the toilet or running water can indicate a disturbance in your sewer system.
- Water Backing Up: Water backing up into sinks, showers, or bathtubs is a direct sign of a sewer line blockage.
- Multiple Clogs: Experiencing frequent and persistent clogs across various fixtures suggests a deeper issue within the sewer line.
- Wet Spots in the Yard: Noticeable wet or soggy spots in your yard near the sewer line could mean a leak or break in the sewer pipe.
- Foundation Cracks: The appearance of cracks in your home’s walls or floor might be caused by sewer line damage affecting the foundation.
- Sewage Smells Outside: Detecting unpleasant sewage odors near sewer cleanouts or in your yard is a strong indicator of a sewer line breach.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to contact Mainstream immediately. Our team is equipped to detect and resolve sewer line issues promptly and efficiently, minimizing damage to your property and mitigating potential health risks. Early detection and professional intervention by Mainstream can prevent extensive repairs and ensure your home’s plumbing system remains in optimal condition.
What kind of plumbing excavation services do you offer?
In-House Excavation Services
We are proud to provide Spokane, WA residents with a one-stop shop for all their plumbing needs. We have streamlined the excavation process by building a crew of in-house excavation specialists. Communication between our departments is seamless, allowing us to keep you in the loop from start to finish.
We also understand that having third-party “hired hands” in your backyard can be unnerving – that’s why we only send our own employees to your home. When you choose Mainstream, you can trust that every on-site employee was hired based on our high recruitment standards.
What types of trenchless sewer repair are there?
Cured-In-Place Pipe Repair
If we are able to detect your sewer problem before major damage occurs, trenchless sewer line repair could be the way forward!
A classic example is cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) sewer repair. This is a trenchless restoration method which involves inserting a seamless, jointless, and root-resistant lining inside an existing sewer line.
The lining, which contains resin, is exposed to a curing element which allows it to adhere to the inner walls of your sewer line. Voila! Once fully cured, you have a brand new pipeline.
It is worth noting that CIPP is EPA Certified and has no negative impact on the environment.
Pipe Bursting Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
If, however, our analysis renders CIPP sewer repair impossible, there’s no need to despair. We have other non-invasive procedures at our disposal. Pipe bursting is a great alternative if portions of your sewer line have collapsed or are otherwise unable to accept a new lining.
This trenchless sewer replacement method is as satisfying and simple as its name suggests. Two holes are dug at both ends of the line. A steel expander head is then dragged through the existing pipe. Its slightly larger diameter allows it to shatter the old pipe and push its pieces into the soil as it’s traveling. A new replacement pipe follows closely behind and takes the spot of the old. The new sewer line is then simply reconnected at both ends and is ready for use.
Our state of the art equipment can pull pipe through the ground at a maximum working force of 60,000 psi.
What are signs of sewer line damage?
Sewer line problems can make themselves known through a variety of nasty symptoms.
Suspiciously lush spots on your lawn, sewage backups in certain areas of your home, and cracks in your foundation are but a handful of ways these problems can manifest.
The underlying causes can range from burst pipes and leaks, to tree root disruption and blockages. Without professional sewer inspection, it’s all guesswork.
How much does it cost to repair a main sewer line?
The short answer is, it depends. There is no cookie cutter approach to repairing a main sewer line as each home and situation is different. Our Mainstream technicians will provide a comprehensive report with the best course of action. Some homes may require new parts or only a couple hours of work. Rest assured, Mainstream provides financing options to fix the problem as soon as possible.
I already got a quote to replace my sewer lines. Can you provide a second opinion?
Of course we can! Because we are so excellent at laying pipe across Spokane, you’ll want our opinion about your home too.
Can a broken sewer line be repaired without digging?
Yes, a broken sewer line can often be repaired without extensive excavation through trenchless sewer repair methods. Trenchless sewer repair allows for the rehabilitation or replacement of damaged sewer pipes without the need to dig up and remove the old pipeline. The process begins with a camera inspection of the pipes to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best repair options. There are two primary trenchless methods: pipe lining (Cured-in-Place Pipe – CIPP) and pipe bursting. Pipe lining involves inserting a resin-coated tube to create a new inner pipe, while pipe bursting fractures and replaces the old pipe. Trenchless methods offer benefits such as reduced disruption, faster repair times, and potential cost savings compared to traditional excavation and restoration. However, the applicability of these methods depends on the specific situation and the severity of the damage. While trenchless sewer repair may offer cost advantages and the longevity of resin pipes, it’s essential to note that it may not always be feasible in every scenario. To determine if your home’s pipes can benefit from quick and efficient trenchless repairs, trust the expertise of Mainstream Plumbing and Air’s professionals.
Can plumbers clear out tree roots from sewer lines?
Absolutely, the skilled plumbers at Mainstream Plumbing and Air have an array of effective techniques at their disposal to eliminate tree roots from your sewer lines. They employ mechanical augers, high-pressure water jetting, and chemical root killers to break up, flush out, or hinder the regrowth of tree roots within the sewer pipes. In cases of more extensive root damage, we may recommend excavation or trenchless pipe replacement as a durable solution. Addressing tree root intrusion promptly is crucial to prevent blockages and damage, ensuring the proper functioning of your sewer system. With our repair and replacement services available in the Greater Spokane and Northern Idaho areas, we are here to keep your home’s sewer line in top condition, addressing any issues, big or small, that could impact your home’s safety and hygiene. Our professionals are even available 24/7 for emergencies!
