Durham Sewer Line Repair

The sewer line plays an important role in the plumbing of a home or business. It’s a single pipe whose function is to get waste out of the house and into the main municipal sewer system. 

Common spots to find the sewer line are in the basement or outside near the street. A sewer line that doesn’t function properly can create both short-term headaches and long-term problems for the health of the property and all who live or work there. 


Call the Durham sewer line repair pros at Total Plumbing at (919) 642-1047 or reach out online today. 


Common Sewer Line Problems

One of the key sewer line issues that property owners can control directly is blockages. Flushing items such as paper towels or diapers down the toilet can cause blockages that may necessitate professional repair. 

An unexpected cause of blockage can be tree roots, especially if the sewer line access is located close to the trees. The roots grow and extend, working their way into the piping and obstructing the flow of water. 

Older pipes are more susceptible to damage that can severely impact the function of the sewer line. Aging pipes may undergo corrosion, cracks, or shifts, which are the natural consequences of wear and tear. 

Don't wait until the damage has become severe. Call Total Plumbing to schedule a sewer line inspection today. We’ll work hard to identify issues and provide the necessary repairs that will restore the functionality of your sewer line. 

Warning Signs that a Sewer Line Needs Repair

Are there noisy pipes while running the dishwasher or doing laundry? While some noise might be normal, gurgling coming from behind your walls could be a sign of a sewer line malfunction. Additionally, pooling water or slow drainage in the sinks and toilets indicates that it is time for us to inspect the sewer line. 

We suggest being wary of a suspiciously green and lush lawn. As nice as it looks, it could also be a sign of a damaged sewer line beneath the surface. Though the cracks in the pipes might give your lawn a good watering, the consequences of a damaged sewer line can be disastrous, leading to high water bills, a cracked foundation, and potentially more costly repairs. Let our Durham sewer line repair team inspect and fix any issues.
