Sewer Line Repair Newmarket

It depends on the type of repair being done, but typically it takes half a day to three days. Half a day is for plumbing pipes with minimal damage and less-invasive repairs, such as pipe relining. If your sewer pipe needs to be replaced using traditional methods, it can take a few days to complete.

Newmarket plumbers have used hydro-jetting technology in the past during sewer line repair services. Clogged sewer lines can cause significant disruptions and property damage if left unaddressed. While it is not a solution for sewer line repair, Newmarket plumbing professionals tend to use drain cleaning as preventative measure to keep pipes clear and functioning properly.

Hydro jetting is the process of cleaning out pipes of debris and clogging using high-pressure water jets. Think of it as power-washing for your pipes. It removes food, debris, mineral buildup, and even tree roots. Once the pipes have been cleaned and washed out, we will be able to move forward with an effective sewer line repair solution.

In Newmarket, many factors can cause sewer line damage. The only problem is that some of these issues can't be prevented. For example, sewer line damage caused by poor maintenance is simple to address; all you have to do is invest in regular drain cleaning and sewer camera inspections. But as you will see, some issues are beyond your control, and you will need sewer line repair. Newmarket sewer lines get damaged from:

• Tree roots: The leading cause of sewer line damage in Newmarket, tree roots are no friend to sewer systems. In their quest for moisture and nutrients, tree roots can penetrate sewer pipes through small cracks or joints. In turn, tree roots can cause blockages, leaks, and structural damage. This is a common issue for homes in areas with mature trees.
• Aging infrastructure: Many sewer pipes in older homes and neighbourhoods are made from pipe materials like clay, cast iron, or fiber. These materials are notorious for deteriorating over time, leading to cracks, corrosion, collapses, and leaks.
• Physical damage: External activities such as construction, excavation, or heavy machinery operations can crack or break sewer lines. When the soil shifts and the ground moves, this can also add extra stress to pipes, causing them to become unaligned.
• Blockages from non-disposable materials: Flushing items that aren't toilet paper down your sewer system is never a good idea, unless you want to deal with costly repairs. What's more, if you pour grease and oil down your drains, these substances will accumulate and cause blockages in your system.
• Corrosion: Metal pipes will corrode over time from chemical exposure, weakening them and leading to leaks or breaks. This is one of the reasons you should never use store-bought drain cleaners.
• Water and soil conditions: Corrosive soil accelerates pipe deterioration, while expansive soils cause pipes to crack from high pressure. High groundwater levels can infiltrate sewer pipes through minor cracks, causing erosion and pipe instability.
• Heavy rainfall and municipal system overload: Excessive rain can overwhelm sewer systems, leading to sewer backups and pipe damage.

When there is severe or extensive damage to the line, you will need sewer line replacement. Newmarket homeowners should also invest in replacement pipes when they experience persistent blockages, as this indicates the pipe's condition is likely compromised. In addition to extreme damage and persistent blockages, you will need replacement over repair when there is:

• Old or deteriorated pipes present
• Multiple or widespread issues
• Misaligned pipes
