How long it takes to repair a sewer line depends on a few factors such as the location of the pipe, the size of the pipe, and the type and extent of any damage that has occurred. That being said, most sewer line repairs take one to three days to complete. However, more complex repairs can take up to a week to complete.
In order to get a proper estimate on the cost to repair your main sewer line, you will have to have a trusted plumbing expert from Drain Guardians come out to your home and assess your sewer line and provide you a price quote.
The cost to clear a main sewer line depends on its size, location, and how clogged the pipe is. To get a quote on how much it will cost to clear your main line, call Drain Guardians to have a certified plumber come out to your property and have a look at your main sewer line.
Yes, a broken sewer line can be dangerous. Damage to your main sewer line can cause significant structural damage to your home and if left untreated, can lead to cracks in your home’s foundation, a settled foundation, or even sinkholes (pools of septic waste). If you have a broken sewer line, call Drain Guardians to have it repaired right away.
Over time, toilet paper and other debris can clog up a sewer line as they get snagged on the tree roots that often infiltrate sewer lines. Flushing sanitary products, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues, paper towels, or even extra-thick toilet paper can severely clog up your sewer line over time. It is best to avoid flushing anything down your toilet other than toilet paper to avoid unnecessary sewer line clogs.
The main culprit of a collapsed sewer line is typically tree roots. Tree roots naturally seek out water so they are highly attracted to all of the moisture that exists within your sewer line. Unfortunately, these tree roots can end up growing into the actual pipe itself, through the joints, and after decades of use, the tree roots degrade from the constant exposure to moisture. Eventually, the sewer line itself will weaken to the point of completely collapsing. If you are struggling with a collapsed sewer line, call Drain Guardians to help you replace it right away.

Odd noises coming from your plumbing is often a sign that something is not right within your sewer line. If you hear gurgling noises coming from your kitchen or bathroom sinks, or when you fill up your tub with water to take a bath, you may have a clog or break in your sewer line that will require repair.
Random wet or soggy patches of grass within your yard generally indicate that your sewer line has a break in it and will need professional assistance from Drain Guardians immediately.
If most of your toilets, bathtubs, showers, and kitchen or bathroom sinks are all constantly clogging, there is likely an issue within your sewer line that is causing these consequences within your home’s plumbing system.
