Reasons Most Martinez Sewer Pipes Need Replacement

Most of the time, sewer pipes need to be replaced because corrosion or buildup lead to a break. As sewer pipes get used, they can easily gather minerals on the inside of the pipes that build up over time. This can lead to problems such as clogs or slow drainage on your California property. Old pipes also corrode over time simply because they are getting old. Sometimes, they may also need replacing due to the pressure of tree roots invading the sewer pipe. Once a tree root gets in, it grows, which causes a large amount of pressure on the pipe.

All of these issues can lead to a collapsed sewer pipe. Once a sewer pipe collapses, the only option you have is to replace the pipe. If a pipe is cracked, there are other repair options. However, with a collapsed pipe, a new pipe must be put in place for the line to work properly. It used to be that in order to replace a pipe, we had to dig a large trench through your Martinez property to access the pipe, then use a crane to take out the old pipe and set in the new pipe. Today, we are luckily able to avoid this scenario in most instances.

Pro Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Sewer System

• Use enzymatic cleaners monthly – These help break down organic buildup safely.
  
  
• Install drain screens – Prevent hair, debris, and food particles from entering your plumbing.
