Sewer Line Installation Near Meridian, ID

You should start thinking about sewer line replacement if you start to notice a significant increase in clogs and slow drains in your home. Sewer lines are designed to last a minimum of 75 years, although their lifespan can be significantly reduced if installed incorrectly, infiltrated by trees and tree roots, buried in poor soil conditions, and if too much other debris ends up in your sewer line (i.e. putting the wrong things down your drains). If your drains are clogged and draining slowly, call Ultimate Heating & Air to have a professional plumber take a look at your sewer line.

Signs that you may need a sewer line replacement are your drains getting clogged and draining significantly slower than normal. If you only have a single sink that is clogging, or only your bathtub is draining slowly, it is more than likely that you just need to have your drains cleared. But, if you have several drains displaying these symptoms, it may be time for a replacement. In either case, call Ultimate Heating & Air to have an expert plumber take a look at your sewer line.

It is never a good idea to try and clean out your sewer line pipe yourself. In fact, attempting to clean out your sewer line yourself with a snake or auger can actually make the problem even worse. Using drain cleaner on pipes that are already in disrepair will only dissolve away your pipes even more than they are currently. Usually if you are experiencing a lot of clogging and slow draining, the problem is much bigger than an auger or drain snake could ever fix since it is likely you have a tree root infestation deep within your pipes. Have a certified plumber from Ultimate Heating & Air come take a look at your sewer line to better direct you on whether the problem is as simple as professionally cleaning out your drains, or full-on replacing your sewer line.

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 Ultimate Heating & Air to have a plumbing expert come out to your home to take a look at your sewer line and give you a free quote.

A camera inspection performed by a professional plumber can determine if you need a sewer line replacement. Camera inspections involve threading a digital camera through your sewer line in order to view and record the inside of the pipe. These cameras are capable of detecting cracks, holes, collapsed pipe sections, and root infiltrations. If the plumber notices any of these common problems, they could recommend a sewer pipe cleanout or a pipe replacement, depending upon the severity of the damage.

Trenchless pipe replacement involves installing a new sewer line pipe in the same tunnel or lining the original piping with epoxy seal. The benefit to trenchless pipe replacement is that it is much less disruptive towards you, your yard, and your neighbors compared to traditional pipe replacement. Trenchless pipe replacement only requires very minimal digging and excavation and because of this subsequent time saved on labor, you will also save money.
