Sewer Line Installation Near San Diego, CA

You should start thinking about sewer line replacement if you notice a significant increase in clogs and slow drains in your home. Sewer lines are designed to last a minimum of 75 years, although their lifespan can be significantly reduced if installed incorrectly, infiltrated by tree roots, buried in poor soil conditions, or if too much debris piles up. If your drains are clogged and draining slowly, call Sherlock to have a professional plumber take a look at your sewer line.

Signs that you may need a sewer line replacement are your drains getting clogged and draining significantly slower than normal. If you only have a single sink that is clogging, or only your bathtub is draining slowly, it’s more than likely that you just need to have your drains cleared. But, if you have several drains displaying these symptoms, it may be time for a replacement. In either case, call Sherlock to have an expert plumber take a look at your sewer line.

It is never a good idea to try and clean out your sewer line pipe yourself. In fact, attempting to clean out your sewer line yourself with a snake or auger can actually make the problem even worse. Using drain cleaner on pipes that are already in disrepair will only dissolve away your pipes even more. Generally, if you are experiencing frequent clogging and slow draining, the problem is much bigger than an auger or drain snake could ever fix anyway. Have a certified plumber from Sherlock come take a look at your sewer line to better direct you on repairs or replacements.

The cost of replacing a sewer line depends on several factors including materials, complexity of the replacement, and labor. If you think you might need your sewer line replaced, call Sherlock to have a plumbing expert come out to your home to take a look at your sewer line.

A camera inspection performed by a professional plumber can determine if you need a sewer line replacement. Camera inspections involve threading a digital camera through your sewer line in order to view and record the inside of the pipe.

If the plumber notices any of these common problems, they will recommend a sewer pipe cleanout or a pipe replacement, depending upon the severity.
