Reasons Sewer Lines Break
Sewer lines are durable but are not indestructible. Over time, they may break or collapse. The main reason sewer lines break down is age or bending as the ground shifts over time. Food particles, grease, and other items build up and add pressure to the pipes. It’s critical to get routine plumbing maintenance services to ensure the health of your sewer lines.

Do You Need Sewer Repair or Replacement?
Most sewer lines are made of PVC, concrete, clay, iron, or cast iron. All of these types of sewer lines will corrode over time.
