Sewer lines are some of the unsung heroes of the modern home. Without these well-designed systems, dealing with wastewater could turn into a chore that takes up a considerable amount of your time and energy.
We seldom think about our sewer lines until we find ourselves dealing with a plumbing problem. When that happens, you need a team that is equipped and qualified to provide any type of sewer service you may need. DrainWorks is ready to provide the sewer services that return your San Antonio home to comfort and safety.
Your San Antonio sewer lines are built with durability in mind. However, they’re not immune to the effects of certain materials — such as grease, oils and “flushable” wipes. If these objects aren’t disposed of correctly, they can stick to sewage pipes and create large-scale clogs.
These backups aren’t only limited to your home. According to the San Antonio Water System, roughly three-fourths of local sewer spills are caused by grease and other forms of incorrect waste disposal in the sewer main.
To avoid unsanitary sewage overflow, make sure to dispose of wet wipes and FOGs (fats, oils and grease) in a garbage can. These items don’t break down easily, making them a notable threat to sewer lines in San Antonio. Take precautions to protect your sewage and plumbing system by only flushing human waste and toilet paper down your commode.
Even a minor malfunction with your sewer line can be a major inconvenience to your life at home. Fortunately, when you find yourself dealing with a sour sewer situation, you can depend on the team here at DrainWorks to provide a comprehensive repair to any sewer line damage you could be dealing with.
They say Mother Nature always finds a way, and one of the most obvious examples of this fact is the tenacity of tree roots. While slow and creeping, tree roots are capable of finding and growing into the smallest of nooks and crannies.
This means that any imperfection or joint in your sewer lines might be vulnerable, particularly because tree roots will be naturally attracted to any moisture being leaked into the ground by the pipes.
Over time, dirt, food debris and other foreign objects can become clogged in the interior of your pipes and plumbing, restricting water flow and creating a prime environment for a clogged sewer line.
Eventually, flow can become restricted entirely, potentially leading to backflow and flooding. From standard snaking to hyper-effective hydro-jetting, we’re confident that we can provide an effective solution for any clog or blockage you might have.
Even underground, your pipes require proper support to stay in place. Shifting soil, excessive rainfall or temperature fluctuations can cause your pipes to shift or sag, leading to leaks, cracking and separation.
The joints where pipes connect represent some of the most vulnerable points of failure in any plumbing system which means that leaks in these locations are common.
