There are some common reasons that sewer lines break and lead to the need for a trenchless sewer replacement. Calgary is no stranger to rapid weather changes and lots of trees, and as such, it can be one of the more common reasons for piping failure. Top reasons in Calgary:

• Frequent freezing and thawing
• Improperly installed lines
• Heavy rainfall
• Shifting soil or soil erosion
• Pipe corrosion

Whatever the reason for needing trenchless sewer replacement, Calgary plumbers will ensure your service goes without a hitch.

Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles can cause soil to shift and crack pipes, and tree root intrusion is common due to urban greenery, both contributing to pipe damage and failures. In fact, nearly 30% of residential sewer line damage is linked to freeze-thaw cycles and root infiltration. Through regular sewer inspections and preventative maintenance, you can help mitigate these risks in Calgary's climate.

When it comes to permits for sewer replacement, Calgary residents should know that one is required. The permits come from the City of Calgary to ensure compliance with local building codes and sanitation standards. The city actually mandates permits for plumbing alterations, ensuring work meets safety and environmental regulations. That's why, when it comes to this type of plumbing work, it's essential to hire our licensed plumber who will handle the permit process and ensure inspections are fully completed to avoid legal or insurance issues.

To prevent issues and, therefore, sewer replacement, Calgary homeowners should always avoid flushing non-degradable items, schedule regular professional inspections, and control tree roots near sewer lines with root barriers or professional root removal. Did you know that preventive maintenance can reduce sewer repairs by up to 40% in urban homes with mature trees? Maintenance goes a long way for your plumbing system, so always watch for early warning signs and address them promptly to avoid costly emergency repairs.

You've likely heard of sewage backups before, and they are nothing short of messy, gross, and potentially costly. Damaged sewer lines can lead to sewer backups, which can also cause mould and mildew growth, which pose respiratory and other health risks. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety highlights exposure to raw sewage as a risk factor for infections and respiratory issues. If you do happen to experience a sewer line backup, avoid contact with the sewage areas and call in our consummate professionals for an inspection.

Sewer lines typically last 50 to 60 years before needing sewer replacement. Calgary homeowners with newer plumbing materials and good maintenance practices can expect a long sewer lifespan. Older clay or cast iron pipes may fail sooner due to cracking and tree root intrusion. If your home was built before 1980, we recommend having your sewer lines inspected regularly to catch issues early.
