Roanoke and Danville, VA Sewer Line Installation

You should start thinking about a sewer line replacement when you begin to notice a significant increase in clogs and slow drains. Sewer lines are designed to last a minimum of 75 years, although their lifespan can be reduced if installed incorrectly, infiltrated by tree roots, buried in poor soil conditions, or impacted by excess debris. If your drains are clogged and draining slowly, call (540) 530-4887 to have a professional take a look at your sewer line.

Signs that you may need a sewer line replacement are abnormally clogged or slow drains. If only a single sink is clogged, or just your bathtub is draining slowly, you probably just need to have your drains cleared. But, if you have several drains displaying these symptoms, it may be time for a sewer line replacement.

It is never a good idea to try and clean out your sewer pipe on your own. In fact, cleaning your sewer with a snake or auger can actually exacerbate the problem! Using drain cleaner on pipes that are already in disrepair will only dissolve away your pipes even more. Generally speaking, if you are experiencing frequent clogs and slow drains, the problem is much vaster than any auger or drain snake. You’ll need help from professional plumbers at Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric.

The cost of replacing a sewer line depends on several factors including materials, complexity of the replacement, and labor. If you think you might need your sewer line replaced, call (540) 530-4887 to have a plumbing expert come out to your home to take a look at your sewer line.

These cameras are capable of detecting cracks, holes, collapsed pipe sections, and root infiltrations. If your plumber notices any of these common problems, they will recommend a sewer cleanout or pipe replacement, depending upon the severity.
