An intact sewer or water pipe is essential if you want your home to be clean and comfortable. Knowing about the causes of sewer pipe issues and who to call for sewer pipe repair is imperative. Clearline Sewer Repair is here to assist with your piping needs!

Backups or leaks from your sewer pipe are frustrating and stressful for any homeowner. There are unpleasant smells, and messy cleanup is involved in addressing the compromised line. Without professionals on the job, it is nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact cause of the sewage issue.

To prevent damage to the sewer line or adequately mitigate the issue once it happens, you need to understand and know the causes of sewer pipe damage.

Common Causes of Damage

• Corroded Piping – While some piping made of cast iron and steel is galvanized to help prevent rust development, they can be at high risk of issues because of magnesium and calcium buildup. Should corrosion be left untreated, your piping could be susceptible to cracks and leaks.
• Tree Roots – A common cause of damage to sewer pipes will be tree root infiltration. Roots of trees and large shrubbery look for water sources as they grow. Any sewer line with a loose joint or a hairline fracture can attract the roots looking for nutrients. If this happens, the roots begin creeping into the pipe, leading to a blockage or total break.
• Extreme Temperatures or Ground Shifting – With extreme drops in temperature, pipes can freeze and burst due to expansion. There could also be landscaping work done on the property or regular changes in the soil that cause the ground to shift and lead to piping damage.

Clearline Sewer Repair is available for sewer pipe repair. Call our team at 206-637-0965 for an appointment.

How does septic to sewer conversion work? Is this something you need for your home or commercial building? Contacting our skilled and certified technicians at Clearline Sewer Repair will give you all the answers you’re looking for.

• Did you know that many homeowners opt to invest in septic to sewer conversion because of the maintenance-free benefits?

What is Involved in This Conversion?

The process for septic to sewer conversion is rather straightforward. The crew digs up the property waste pipe under the septic system, and the home then works to re-route the line to the municipal sewer system.

However, it might not always be this simple as there can be mature trees, vegetation, swimming pools, patios, and other obstructions in the way. There might also be the need to dig a portion of the sidewalk on public property.

As for your current septic, our technicians pump it dry, bore a hole into the bottom, and crush it, filling it up to grade level with gravel and dirt.

These are some common advantages of septic to sewer conversion:

• Increase Property Value – Potential home buyers could be put off looking at a home that runs via a septic tank. This could be considered a negative due to the need for maintenance and repairs.
• Fewer Odors – Septic systems are known for putting out odors around the home, especially if there is a septic backup.
• Legalities – In some areas, you might be unable to expand your home, add a patio or pool over, or close to a septic system.

Clearline Sewer Repair is the team you want for septic to sewer conversion. Call us at 206-637-0965 to book a consultation and estimate.

You need to keep plenty of repairs on your radar as a homeowner. One of them includes sewer maintenance and repair. It used to be that sewer repair work was costly and rather invasive. However, trenchless sewer repair methods have changed everything, and we are here to help at Clearline Sewer Repair.

What Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Entail?

It used to be that sewer repair called for fully replacing all the lines under the ground. With trenchless methods, rather than pulling up the entire line, only two small holes get drilled at each end of the sewer line. A new permanent pipe made of specialized re-lining material gets inserted to create a seamless internal pipe. The beauty is that all of this is done without digging up a major section of your landscaping.

The Benefits of Hiring Trenchless Sewer Work

Several advantages come with hiring our skilled technicians at Clearline Sewer Repair for trenchless repair work, including:

• Saves Time and Money – When you cut out the need to dig up your retaining walls, garden, lawn, walkways, driveway, and trees, you will save a lot of time and money. The job gets wrapped up in much less time, and you never have to invest so much in repairing and replacing every area where damage was done.
• Less Intrusive – Digging up your yard makes for unpleasant aesthetics, but you also get left without plumbing for a long period when you use traditional repair methods. Trenchless sewer repair takes less time, and you have your plumbing back much sooner. It also eliminates or reduces the need to access your home’s interior during the repair itself.

The worst disservice you can do to your home is being neglectful of the appliances and systems that keep you comfortable. Your plumbing system, for instance, includes your sewer line, which is a convenient method of waste disposal from your home. While many homeowners don’t think about their sewer line or maintenance, it’s important to schedule annual sewer pipe camera inspections to keep your plumbing in tiptop shape.

Clearline Sewer Repair has specialized in inspection, installation, replacement, and repair of plumbing pipes and lines for a number of years. We employ some of the most knowledgeable, skilled plumbers and technicians in and around Edmonds, so you get the best when you schedule services from our business.

Camera inspections of your sewer lines are innovative and non-invasive. We don’t have to rip into your yard to see what we need to see, making camera inspections easier and a preferred method. The camera is a waterproof attachment on a length of PVC that we run through your plumbing system to view different angles of your sewer. With this method of inspection, we can see leaks, cracks, and bigger problems, then gauge whether your sewer system would need a quick fix repair or more complex replacements.

How Long Do Home Sewer Pipes Last?

The longevity of a sewer pipeline depends on the kind of materials that the pipes are made from. While galvanized steel pipes have a lifespan of 40 years, plastic or PVC pipes and copper pipes can last 100 years with proper care. Clay pipes and cast-iron pipes last a median of 50 to 75 years.

In most cases, sewer pipe inspections won’t uncover anything out of the ordinary. However, when it comes to your home’s plumbing systems, it’s “better safe than sorry.” You can schedule an annual sewer pipe camera inspection by calling Clearline Sewer Repair at 206-637-0965.

Not many homeowners know the dangers that trees can have on home plumbing systems from underneath the ground. Tree roots are persistent and stronger than you think, and the tiniest cracks in your home’s plumbing pipes could invite a root to grow…and grow…and grow, until you have clogged drains, leaky pipes, and maybe a big cause for replacements. Before it can become a huge issue, schedule root cutting pipe repair service – courtesy of Clearline Sewer Repair.

We at Clearline Sewer Repair are well-equipped to handle your plumbing issues, inclusive of runaway roots from the trees you love that surround your property. Who knew that something so beautiful and natural could wreak havoc on your property?

The Truth About Tree Roots

Tree roots are sneaky. And your home’s plumbing system is perfect growing conditions because roots can gather water and nutrients from waste that flows from your bathroom and kitchen. There aren’t many signs to let you know that you need root cutting services, but some signs may include:

• Foul odors rising from drains inside or outside of the home.
• Unexplained clogs or backed up drains with slow or low drainage.
• Unexplained wet spots or standing water in your yards.
• Bright green and random growths of grass around your property.

Typically, when you notice signs from root infestation, it has gotten to the point where the roots are growing and causing leaks in your pipes. Most of the time, leaks are easy fixes, but those roots have to first be cut and pulled to prevent further growth.

Discovering problems with your home’s plumbing system begins and ends with inspections. For more information about root cutting pipe repair service, call Clearline Sewer Repair at 206-637-0965. You can schedule an appointment that meshes well with your routine!
