Sewer Line Replacement Services in Kannapolis, NC

The Best Time for a Sewer Line Replacement in Kannapolis

As tempting as it might be, putting off sewer line replacement will only lead to further damage. If you suspect you’re dealing with a damaged sewer line, the best time for a sewer replacement is right now! Not entirely sure you have a damaged sewer line? Here are some tell-tale signs:

Clogged Drains Everywhere

A single clogged drain is one thing. But when you find clogged drains all over the house, that’s a problem. You most likely have a mainline clog somewhere in your sewer line that’s stopping drainage throughout your home. 

We can come out to clear the clog for you, but you should know that this would only be a temporary solution. Typically, clogs like this only occur when a bigger problem’s going on. 

Water Damage in Your Kannapolis Home

When your sewer line gets damaged, it can leak. When your sewer line leaks, that water can come right back into your home. So look out for wet or spongy spots throughout your house, mold growth in those dark corners, and any mildewy smells. If you spot signs of water damage, call us right away for speedy sewer line replacement.

Flooding and Unpleasant Smells

If your sewer line ruptures or leaks, all of the wastewater and sewer gases it holds will flow into the yard. The soil in your yard might be wet and spongy underfoot, and you’ll most likely get hit in the face with the smell. If you find yourself in a situation like this, have no doubts! There’s something wrong underground, and you probably need professional sewer line replacement. 

The Difference Between Repairing and Replacement

You may feel tempted to get a repair instead of a full-on sewer line replacement. In some cases, that’s actually just fine. Repairs are typically the better solution when damage is localized to a small portion of your sewer line. But if your sewer line is sufficiently damaged or corroded over a wide area, you’ll most likely need several repairs to solve the problem. In this case, a sewer line replacement will be much more cost-effective.

What to Expect During Sewer Line Replacement

Once you schedule an appointment with Morris-Jenkins, one of our expert plumbers will visit your home and inspect the area. After locating the sewer line and mapping it out through your yard, we’ll clear any clogs affecting it. Then, with a special camera, we’ll identify how bad the damage is and let you know if a repair or a replacement is the better solution for you.

Finally, we’ll start digging to reach the sewer line. We may need to dig through sections of your yard or driveway to access the sewer line properly. Keep in mind that we’ll know exactly where your sewer line is, and that’ll limit how much digging we need to do. Once we repair or replace the line, we’ll return everything we dug up and lay down some grass seeds to restore the yard.

Preparing for the Future

While we’re out replacing your sewer line, we’ll check to see if you have a drain cleanout. A drain cleanout is a white cap in your yard that can be removed to access your sewer line directly. It’ll help us relieve sewer line pressure and clear clogs more easily whenever (or if ever) you need us in the future. If you don’t have a drain cleanout, we’ll install one for you!
