Reliable Replacement & Installation of Sewer Lines
Your sewer line removes all wastewater from your home and property via a large pipe that’s connected to your municipal sewer system if you don’t have a septic tank. This function is especially important for your family’s health, since wastewater is everything that goes down your drains or toilet. Wastewater needs to be correctly processed for safety. If you need a new sewer line or your sewer line is not functioning as it should, you can trust Absolute Services to perform sewer line installation and replacement in Louisville, KY and the surrounding areas. Reach out to us by phone or through our online form to begin the conversation.
Traditional Sewer Line Installation
Also known as open trenching, traditional sewer line replacement involves digging large trenches on your property to directly lay the pipes. Since it requires excavation, it’s considered highly disruptive to landscaping. After the process is complete, landscape renovation will be needed to restore it to how it looked previously. Sometimes it’s the only option, however, so you don’t always have a choice. This method is highly effective, so you’ll be left with a well-functioning sewer line to remove your home’s waste.
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement
If you’re worried about disturbing your property and needing to rebuild, trenchless sewer line installation may be a good solution. Rather than digging up your yard with deep trenches, the trenchless method only requires digging a few small holes.
Pipe Jacking
Pipe jacking is a trenchless form of sewer line installation when a new pipe is being installed where there isn’t a current pipe. One small hole is dug, then a jacking pipe is pushed into the hole with a tunneling machine, placing the pipe underground. It’s far less disruptive than traditional open-trench sewer line installation methods.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a method of trenchless sewer line replacement when there’s already an existing sewer line that’s not performing correctly, is damaged or aging. We’ll send a camera down into the current pipe to assess the damage. Then, we’ll clean out the current sewer line. Next, we’ll burst your existing pipes with a special machine while pulling in a new pipe to take its place.
Signs You Need Sewer Line Replacement
Sewer lines are hidden underneath the ground, so you may not think of them very often. That doesn’t mean it’s not important to pay attention to their performance, however. By looking out for the following signs, you can know when to contact a plumber to install a new sewer line on your property:
- Multiple Drains Moving Slowly: Slow drains may not be uncommon, however if all the drains in your home are draining slowly, that could be indicative of a larger issue with your sewer line. Some severe sewer line problems can’t be repaired, so you will need to consider a replacement.
- Sewage Backup: A very clear sign your sewer line needs to be replaced is when you notice raw sewage coming back up through your plumbing system.
- Smell of Sewage on Your Property: Even if you can’t see it, smelling sewage anywhere in your home or outside on your property can indicate a broken, damaged main sewer line.
- Debris in Toilets or Sinks: Dirt, roots, or other backwash may appear in the basins of your sink or toilets if you’re experiencing a sewer line rupture.
- Strangely Lush Patches on Lawn: If it hasn’t been watered or treated differently than usual but part of your grass is especially green and lush, that could be due to a broken sewer line under the ground.
- Pooling Water on Lawn: Similarly, a broken sewer line can cause excess moisture or even a pond-like accumulation of water to appear on your property where it shouldn’t be.
- Influx of Pests: Sewage leaks can attract everything from insects to rodents as it rises up through your lawn.
- Sudden Growth of Mold or Mildew in Home: A backed up sewer line means your wastewater isn’t properly exiting your home and leaving your property. It can lead to leaks from your plumbing system that cause wet spots on your ceilings, floors, and walls that can begin to grow mildew and mold.
- Crack in Your Foundation: If you notice your foundation is cracked, the culprit could be a leak in your main sewer line.
- Weird Noises from Pipes: Sewer line issues may present with gurgling sounds coming from your pipes.
