What Happens if My Sewer Line Is Not Repaired Properly after Excavation?

If your sewer line is not repaired properly after excavation, it can lead to serious structural damage, damage to your yard, and even health concerns. In other words, it’s an important matter that should not be left to chance. Working with a well-established Loyalhanna sewer specialist is always to your advantage.

Potential Problems

A sewer line that hasn’t been repaired properly after excavation comes with a host of problems.

Slow Moving Drains 

Sluggish drains are a common concern when it comes to poorly repaired sewer lines, and they are not only inconvenient but can also cause damage, such as when a blockage occurs.

Backups

If inadequate sewer repairs result in a block or clog, it can lead to a sewage backup that moves through your home’s drains and fixtures. A sewage backup can contaminate your living space and make it unsanitary to remain living in – until you secure professional cleaning services.

Health Concerns

When raw sewage backs up, it exposes those living in the property to bacteria and viruses that jeopardize their health. Even minor drainage issues, however, can lead to mold and mildew, which come with health risks.

Higher Repair Costs

When sewer lines are not repaired properly at the time of excavation, the cost of making the necessary repairs is going to be considerably higher than it would have been if they’d been repaired properly to begin with. And in the meantime, the damage can become more serious and more expensive.

Structural Damage

When sewer lines aren’t repaired properly, it can lead to settling and soil erosion that develop into sinkholes or structural concerns that affect your home. If you see prominent cracks in your home’s foundation, it’s time to consult with a dedicated sewer repair specialist.

The matter of sewer line repairs, in other words, is far too serious not to bring in professionals who are well prepared to get the job done right the first time.

  • "Rick and his team did some extensive work on my property, relining and fixing the 75-year-old system. They did a great job at a fair price and cleaned up nicely after the project. You need a sewer system checked out or repaired? Do not hesitate to call Rick, he is honest, upfront and will take care of the job from start to finish. Just a great family owned company."

  • "We used American Sewer Specialist to divert a natural spring away from the house and into the storm drain. We had two other companies come out to try and fix our water drainage problem but they were unsuccessful. Rick was very professional and did a great job. He answered all of my questions and fixed our water problem! I highly recommend Rick and American Sewer Specialist!"

  • "We owned a property in Latrobe that was under contract. The dye test failed and Rick was there the next day. He worked on our fairly massive problem and we closed on the property without a delay. He was so patient with us as we were so panicked and living 70 miles away. Big problem-big job...BUT fair price!! Many thanks Michelle and Rick!!!!!!"
