What to Expect from ProStar Plumbing Sewer Line Replacement
Typically, a total sewer line replacement is necessary after extensive damage or neglect, or when you’ve purchased a home that used outdated piping materials such as clay, cast iron, or black ABS. Some issues can be solved with our Sewer Line Repair services. Your ProStar Plumbing team will help you understand your options.
To replace your main sewer line, our technicians will use machinery to excavate the areas of your yard necessary for access to the damaged pipe. Unusable sections of the sewer line will be removed by cutting the pipe and pulling it out of the ground. Sections of new PVC pipe will be cut and fitted to the existing sewer line run with couplings for a watertight seal. The technicians will adjust the slope of the pipes to prevent backflow or sagging in the future. The excavated dirt will be replaced into the holes and trenches. A sewer camera inspection will be completed to ensure all water is flowing properly without clogs or debris.
If your sewer line replacement includes any pipes inside your home, finish materials such as flooring, carpeting, cabinetry, and drywall may be removed as well. If your sewer line replacement includes any pipe that is underneath or encased in your home’s concrete slab, further demolition of the affected area will be necessary.

Why Sewer Line Replacement May Be Necessary
Your hard-working sewer line is subjected to drastic temperature fluctuations throughout the year which can worsen any weak spots or cracks in the pipe. It’s also the first area to be impacted by invasive tree roots. A broken or impacted sewer line can cause extensive and expensive damage to your home and surrounding property, such as flooding, contamination, mould, and more.

Signs You Sewer Line Needs Replacement
Ensuring any cracks are sealed, any roots are removed, and any breaks or bellies are replaced is essential for your family’s safety and health. There are a few warning signs that you need a sewer line replacement:
One way to minimise damage from a future sewer line backup is to install a backwater valve on below grade fixtures. This fixture helps eliminate costly sewage water damage with a simple mechanism. When you flush or use the drain, that water pushes the one-way gate open to leave the home’s main sewer drain and flow into the sewer line. Any water trying to flow in reverse will be dammed against the gate to prevent wastewater returning to your sinks, tub, or toilet.
