Sewer lines are set with vent system to illuminate any gases. If you experience the sewer smell please call JordanAir now.

  • Tree root penetrations.

In search of water source tree roots find sewer lines as closest easy water. They are strong to break open old pipes and continue to grow inside. It is the matter of time when roots inside the sewer pipe will block the flow by its size. The waste starts collecting in the roots that leads to complete flow blockage

  • Sagging pipes.

Sewer pipe damage may come from outside forces. Surrounding soil will move and displace the pipe. When moved it may curve or bend. Those curved and lowered pipe sections will collect waste to create a clog.

  • Burst pipes.

Really old pipes will rust, ground shifting will move newer pipes or any other natural force can lead to cracks and breaks. This damage causes sewage to leak out of the line into the ground, causing contamination.

  • Sewer leaks affecting the lawn.

Lush patches of lawn over their sewer pipes indicate the leakage. Cracks allow sewage to seep out, which delivers extra nutrients to the surrounding soil.

  • Deterioration of sewer pipes.

Time is mean. Service time is limited. Some pipe sections may be repaired. Replacement is the best solution in this situation.

  • Off-grade pipes.

It is recommended to use stronger material pipes. If you know that those pipes are outdated don’t wait for emergency. Plan ahead.
