Erie Drain and Sewer Line Repair

All the drains in your home are connected in a network of piping that routes all wastewater to the main sewer line that leaves your home and runs across your property underground, connecting to the municipal system out by the street. The drain piping in your home includes your showers, sinks, dish and clothes washing machines, toilets, and more. Maintenance and repair of the underground main sewer line is the responsibility of the homeowner right up to the point where the line joins the city system out by the edge of your property.

Like most people, Erie homeowners often don’t consider the importance of their home’s drain system until something goes wrong. But when you begin to experience backflow or clogged drains, it’s time to take action. Regardless of the cause of your drain problem, it usually doesn’t take long for you to determine if off-the-shelf drain remedies will do the job, or if you need to call in a pro. If you need drain help, Save Home Heat is ready to answer that call promptly and professionally.

Please note: Many of our customers don’t realize that a number of those caustic hardware store drain clog solutions can cause significant long-term issues for the health and durability of your drain piping, even while solving your immediate problem.

So whether it’s a minor problem like a stubborn clog in one of the pipes, or a significant complication such as tree root intrusion in your sewer line, our knowledgeable team can identify the cause and recommend proven solutions that have your best interests in mind.

Regular Drain Maintenance and Servicing in Erie

To reduce the risk of extensive drain and sewer line repair and help prevent unforeseen plumbing emergencies, we often recommend scheduling an annual inspection of your main sewer line using a special video camera, and cleaning, if needed. This can help to catch small issues before they turn into bigger concerns, and hopefully prevent the need for costly repairs or sudden surprises down the road.

It’s not uncommon to see the development of tree root intrusion into main sewer lines, especially in older sewer lines and when there are lots of trees nearby. In the springtime and summer, the root systems of many trees go looking for sources of water and nutrients, and an underground sewer line can act as a magnet for these thirsty, hungry roots. We see aging sewer lines made of cast iron, copper, clay, and even plastic and wood. Miniscule cracks or spots of slow deterioration in a pipe can be just the opening the tree roots are looking for. Undetected and unstopped, this could spell trouble for your home’s entire drain system. So an ounce of detection and prevention could be just what the doctored ordered, each year!

On top of scheduling regular sewer line inspection, you may also want to give some thought to the types of trees on your property, especially those located close to your sewer line. When replacing old trees or planting new ones, be sure to stay away from that important underground pipe route, and also consider planting trees whose root systems are less likely to cause sewer line concerns. A little quick research shows species such as dogwoods and Japanese maples as those that are compatible, but there’s plenty of other options out there. We recommend consulting a local nursery or your agricultural extension office to learn more.

Other causes of underground sewer line problems include dirt settling on top of the pipe, or the weight of other objects such as pavers, and landscape rocks and boulders.
