Cracked Sewer Pipe in your home? Here’s what it’s really telling you.

CATCH PROBLEMS EARLY

Cracked Sewer Pipe warning signs you should never ignore.

A cracked sewer pipe often shows symptoms before it fully fails. Here are the four signs that mean check the pipe.

Watch for these Cracked Sewer Pipe warning signs:

• Soft or wet ground above the sewer line path

  A crack in a sewer pipe leaks sewage into the surrounding soil. Wet or spongy ground above the line path, especially when it has not rained, points to a cracked pipe below.
• Unusually lush grass in a line across the yard

  Sewage leaking from a crack acts as fertilizer. A strip of unusually green or fast-growing grass above the sewer line path is a classic cracked pipe indicator.
• Roots appearing in the camera scope at the same spot annually

  If camera scopes show roots entering the same location year after year, there is a crack at that point. The root is not the problem, the crack that lets it in is.
• Slow drains that worsen after heavy rainfall

  Groundwater infiltrating through a cracked pipe adds to the flow the pipe must carry. After a heavy rain, that extra volume slows every drain in the home.

BEFORE & AFTER

Cracked Sewer Pipe fixed: a Sedgefield home, roots and lush grass.

The homeowner noticed a bright green strip of grass running from the house to the street. LiningWorks scoped and found three cracks, two where roots were entering and one where the pipe wall had fractured under ground load. We lined the full 48-foot run the same day.

Lush grass and root intrusion at the same spot are nearly always a cracked pipe underneath. One camera scope confirmed it. One lining session sealed every crack permanently.
