What to Expect During a Sewer Repair Service

Every home has a sewer line, which connects the municipal sewer or septic system. Occasionally this sewer line needs repair due to a clog or other issue. Some states also require routine inspections of the sewer line, which can detect future issues and potentially mitigate them.

When an issue arises, a qualified plumber from Farrell Plumbing must first identify and locate it. A plumber can run a camera through the pipes to find the issue, which they will then mark on the exterior of the pipes. We will need to know about any utility lines on the property, and homeowners should notify the plumber of electric pet fences or sprinklers.

This investigation helps the plumber determine whether line replacement or repair is the best method. The cost to replace a sewer line is typically much higher than that of a repair. There are two types of sewer line repair, and we utilize the traditional method. This requires excavating a trench around the pipe, which is still the most effective way of addressing most pipe-related issues.

Before Farrell Plumbing can tackle the issue in the sewer line, the homeowner requires permission from the city in the form of a permit. If any pipes run under a neighbor’s property, the neighbor must also give permission for sewer line repair work to begin.

Because sewer pipe line repair can be quite noisy, homeowners may want to postpone activities that require quiet. Furthermore, plumbing operation will halt during repairs or sewer line replacement, and homeowners should avoid pouring anything down drains or in toilets.
