Rusted Pipes
Most steel and iron pipes are coated with a protective zinc layer to prevent rusting. However, calcium and magnesium in water can corrode pipes over time. When left unchecked for long, it can cause cracks or annoying leaks.
Harsh Weather Conditions
Extreme temperatures can also be a source of sewer line damage. For example, harshly cold weather can freeze the pipes resulting in ice expansion and potential bursting. However, cold weather alone isn’t the culprit. Extremely high temperatures can also burst the pipes.
Clogged Pipes
Sewage pipes can only deal with toilet paper and waste. When you flush other things like paper towels or wrappers, they do not dissolve and block pipes. Apart from flushing trash, materials in the kitchen can also cause clogs.
For instance, draining greasy or oily substances in the kitchen sink can block the pipes. There are other better ways to get rid of such materials. You can freeze these liquids and discard them in a trash can.Tree Roots Tree roots also cause sewer line problems. They naturally go after the source of water as they expand underground. Because sewer pipes carry liquid waste, tree roots are drawn to them. Besides, they’ll be attracted quicker if there is a small leak in the line.As soon as they touch the sewer pipes, they wrap them. Consequently, your pipes get clogged or weak. Also, if your home has clay sewer pipes, they’re more prone to tree root damage.
