Have A Broken Sewer Pipe? How To Identify & Repair

Your sewerage pipes are responsible for transporting waste from your home to the public sewerage system of your area and are hence a very important system in your home.

However, since it is generally buried underground, it may be difficult to spot the causes of certain problems, and locating the spot needing a repair can also be tricky.

Outlined below are a few of the most common causes of sewer line problems, that, if spotted, can be discussed with a professional Sydney plumber to sort out any repair work needed.

Broken Sewer Pipe

broken sewer pipe can be identified by noting any strange puddles and smells in your yard, or by noticing a drop in water pressure in your home.

Common causes of a broken sewer pipe include corrosion of the piping, tree and plant roots, or a shift in the ground nearby due to any construction projects or simple digging in the yard.

Blocked Sewer Pipes

Clogs in sewerage piping are typically caused by the same culprit; a build-up of icky materials in the pipes, preventing the water from flowing into the sewerage system. (You know what materials we’re talking about).

These back-ups are also commonly caused by complications in the larger civic sewerage system, hence, it is recommended for homes to use an automatic shut-off valve to avoid these complications.
