Signs of a Broken Sewer Line
A damaged sewer line is a homeowner's nightmare. If you notice a sulfur smell in your yard, slow drains throughout the house, or lush patches of green grass in one spot, you may have a sewer break.
Why Do Sewer Lines Fail?
- Tree Roots: Common in established Butler neighborhoods with large trees. Roots seek out the moisture in pipes and crack them.
- Age: Older homes may still have clay or cast iron pipes that degrade over 50+ years.
- Ground Shifting: Missouri soil shifts with the seasons, putting stress on buried lines.
Repair Options: Traditional vs. Trenchless
Traditional Repair: Involves digging a trench along the entire length of the pipe. It is often cheaper upfront but requires restoring landscaping and sometimes driveways.
Trenchless Repair (Pipe Bursting/Lining): Advanced technology allows us to replace the pipe with minimal digging. We pull a new pipe through the old one, saving your lawn and patio.
